Refine Your Ears for Elevated Confidence

If you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your ears—whether they seem too large, protrude noticeably, are asymmetrical, or damaged—ear surgery (otoplasty) can help restore your confidence. This procedure reshapes and repositions the ears to create a more balanced and natural look, allowing you to feel more comfortable with your overall appearance. At NewSkin in Bellevue, WA, we take a tailored approach to every surgery, ensuring that your results complement your unique features. Led by Dr. Brian Scott, who specializes in facial aesthetics, our team is dedicated to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals with precision and care.

What Is Ear Surgery?

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and repositions the ears for a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance. It is often performed to correct issues such as prominent ears, misshapen ears, or ears that are disproportionate to the head. The procedure can be customized to meet your specific needs, whether you’re looking to reduce the size of your ears, pin them back, or correct any asymmetry. Ear surgery is typically performed on children and adults and offers long-lasting results that enhance natural beauty.

What to Expect: The Ear Surgery Process

  1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at NewSkin, in which we will assess your concerns, discuss your goals, and create a personalized surgical plan tailored to your needs.
  2. Procedure: Ear surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia can be used if preferred. Small incisions are made behind the ear to reposition or reshape the cartilage, ensuring that scarring is minimal and hidden. The damaged area is meticulously corrected for earlobe repair to restore a natural appearance.
  3. Duration: The surgery usually takes about one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
  4. Post-Surgery Care: You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. A bandage is placed over the ears to protect the area and support the new shape during the initial healing phase.

Ear Surgery Recovery & Results

Recovery from ear surgery is generally smooth, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week. You may experience mild swelling and discomfort during the initial healing period, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. A bandage will be placed over the ears immediately after surgery, usually worn for about a week to protect the area and help maintain the new ear position.

We will provide detailed post-surgery instructions to ensure optimal healing. Ear surgery results are long-lasting, with noticeable improvements in ear shape, size, and symmetry becoming visible as the swelling reduces. With proper care, you can enjoy the confidence of a balanced, refined appearance for years to come.

Is ear surgery right for me?

If you’re self-conscious about the appearance of your ears due to their shape, size, or position, ear surgery may be the right choice for you. A consultation with our expert team will help determine if ear surgery suits your needs.

How long is the recovery process?

Recovery from ear surgery typically takes about 1-2 weeks. Most patients can return to work or school after one week, although more strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. Any residual swelling or discomfort generally resolves within a few months.

Will ear surgery leave noticeable scars?

The incisions for ear surgery are strategically placed to minimize visibility. For procedures such as ear pinning (otoplasty), the incisions are typically located behind the ear, where they are easily concealed. Earlobe repair incisions are also small and heal well over time.

How soon will I see the results?

While some improvement is visible immediately after surgery, the final results of ear surgery will become more apparent as swelling subsides over the course of a few months.
