Otoplasty
Serving Kansas City & Lee's Summit, Missouri
Ear reshaping, or “otoplasty,” is the surgical procedure used to correct prominent ears by setting them back closer to the head or to improve the shape of your ears. Ear reshaping is a safe and effective surgical procedure that can dramatically improve a person’s self image.
Otoplasty can make some of the most significant differences in how people live the rest of their lives. Children can especially benefit from otoplasty since teasing by other children can be devastating to their developing self esteem and image.
Thankfully, cosmetic plastic surgeon Dr. Chhatre can perform ear reshaping at any age. Ear reshaping is a surgical procedure. In order to reshape and set back the prominent ears, Dr. Chhatre uses the incisions behind the ears, so that the scars are invisible. The cartilage will then be shaped and sutured to keep the ear closer to the head. If the problem is only on one side, Dr. Chhatre will carefully design the shape of the ear to match the opposing side and to have a natural appearance.
Ear reshaping is a safe and effective way to dramatically improve your appearance and quality of life. If you or your child are concerned about less-than-normal-looking ears, and would like to have them corrected, then consider making an appointment at Summit Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa to see how Dr. Chhatre can help you.
