Otoplasty Ear Surgery Los Angeles
Otoplasty
is a common cosmetic surgical procedure in which prominent ears
or large ears are reshaped to lie closer to the side of the
head. The procedure is sometimes known as “ear pinning”. Frequently,
this procedure is done for children who are self-conscious or
being teased about their prominent ears. Sometimes, otoplasty
is offered to young adults or older patients who always wanted
their ears corrected but did not previously have the opportunity.
This website, LAOtoplasty.com is provided as an information
resource to share with you basic information about otoplasty,
provide typical before and after results, and introduce you
to a very experienced plastic surgeon and otoplasty expert.
Dr. Stephen Bresnick is a board-certified plastic surgeon, Stanford-trained,
who specializes in otoplasty. Dr. Bresnick became an otoplasty
expert through his work as a plastic surgeon at the prestigious
Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. As an attending surgeon and
Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Bresnick has performed
hundreds of plastic surgical ear procedures including otoplasty
and ear reconstruction. Please note that the before and after
photos on the LAOtoplasty site are a few of Dr. Bresnick’s actual
patients who have recently had an otoplasty procedure.
Otoplasty can be performed as early as age 5 or 6 years. There
is no maximum age for the procedure. The technique that Dr.
Bresnick prefers for otoplasty involves placement of a fine
incision in the natural crease behind the ear. The ear cartilage
is then reshaped with permanent sutures which heal in place
beneath the skin. These sutures are not visible. Incisions on
the front of the ear are usually not necessary. The healing
is quite rapid after surgery, with bandages coming off after
just a few days. Some minor ear is normal after surgery, but
much of the swelling reduces in the first week or so after surgery.
More attractive and less prominent ears are achieved with a
nicely performed otoplasty, and Dr. Bresnick will offer the
finest care and beautiful results for you or or loved one. Please
