In addition to conducting a comprehensive pre-operative evaluation to assess your ear anatomy and desired outcome, Dr. Chang routinely performs this procedure with you wide awake under local anesthesia so that you can provide immediate feedback to ensure you are happy with the position and shape of your ears.
Otoplasty improves the appearance of your ears by correcting prominent or asymmetrical features, providing a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look. This procedure is ideal for individuals who feel self-conscious about their ears due to excessive protrusion, asymmetry, or congenital deformities. The goal of otoplasty is to reposition or reshape the ears to achieve a natural, harmonious alignment with your facial features, boosting your self-esteem and comfort in social situations.
