Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)
     Whether your ears are too large or they stick out too far from your head, prominent ears are an easy target for teasing, jokes and ridicule. Otoplasty, also called ear surgery, is the surgical solution. Otoplasty sets prominent ears back closer to the head and reduces the size of large ears.

     Ear surgery may be performed on adults as well as children. If you’re considering ear surgery, the process begins with the consultation. In assessing your overall health and the physical characteristics of your ears (such as the size and symmetry) a plan can be formulated to achieve the best result for you.

Is this right for me?
A Personal Decision
     Every year many thousands of adults and children undergo successful otoplasty. The decision to pursue otoplasty is a very personal and important one. The factors that will affect your decision and outcome are unique to you.

     Our experience and expertise can make your choice a little easier. You can find out if this procedure is right for you by contacting our office for a consultation.

The Surgery
     As an outpatient, Dr. Bounds and his Board Certified or Board Eligible Anesthesiologist have your safety and comfort in mind. After surgery in the Operating Suite, you will awake from the surgery in the Recovery Room, attended by a Registered Nurse. Once you’re fully awake you may then go home with a family member or trusted close friend.

     Typically you should be able to return to work within four to seven days, depending on the level of activity required for your job. Strenuous activity and contact sports may be resumed in one to two months.
