Crafting a Look You’ll Love at Leif Rogers, MD in Beverly Hills

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a surgical procedure that is performed to alter the shape, size, or position of the ears. It is commonly used to correct deformities, such as protruding ears, that can affect a person’s self-esteem or cause them to feel self-conscious. While most cosmetic surgeries are performed on adults, ear surgery is often performed on children, where it can positively affect their social experience and self-confidence.

If you or your child is interested in exploring the results that ear surgery can provide, our team is standing by and ready to help. Ear surgery is an ideal way to overcome cosmetic frustrations sometimes caused by your genetic makeup, enabling you to exercise more agency over how you look. Reach out to our Beverly Hills office and speak with a team member to schedule your initial consultation today.

Dr. Rogers’ Surgical Expertise

Several different types of procedures may be performed depending on the specific issue being addressed, and Dr. Rogers will call upon his extensive surgical experience to choose the procedural technique that’s right for you. Ear pinning, for example, is a type of ear surgery often used to correct ears that stick out too far from the head by reshaping the cartilage and pulling the ears closer to the head so they are more flush with the scalp. Other surgical techniques can also be used to repair lobes that have been torn or stretched, and Dr. Rogers will work closely with you to ensure your surgical plan is tailored to your personal cosmetic goals.

Is Ear Surgery Right for Me?

Ear surgery is a medical procedure that may very well be ideal for you if you’ve found yourself concerned about the appearance of your ears or if you have experienced hearing problems due to structural abnormalities of your ear. An ideal candidate for ear surgery will be in good physical health and have no medical issues that could interfere with the healing process. Every patient who visits Dr. Rogers in Beverly Hills starts their surgical journey with a highly informative, in-person consultation.

This will allow Dr. Rogers to learn about your goals, understand your unique physical characteristics, and work with you to create a treatment plan that helps you achieve your ideal outcome. During this time, Dr. Rogers will explain everything about your upcoming surgery, including his surgical technique, incision placement, and what to expect on the day of your surgery. You’ll also be given aftercare instructions, so you have total peace of mind as you look forward to your exciting results.

Why Our Patients Love Ear Surgery

Your ears are a key component when it comes to your sense of facial harmony, and you’re absolutely not alone if you’ve felt frustrated by the way they contribute to your facial appearance. Ear surgery is a great way to enjoy a look that feels more balanced and harmonious. Some of the reasons our patients love ear surgery include:

Improved appearance
Minimal scarring
Increased self-confidence
Outpatient procedure
Corrected hearing problems
Quick recovery time

Dr. Rogers’ Surgical Technique

Most ear surgeries are performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Local anesthesia involves numbing the ear area, and sedation will help to keep you calm and relaxed during the procedure.

Ear pinning surgery, which is performed to correct the presence of protruding ears, may take around one to two hours to complete, while more complex procedures such as ear reconstruction or microtia repair may take longer.

Dr. Rogers always utilizes the most advanced techniques and works hard to ensure that incisions are placed as inconspicuously as possible, so you can enjoy results that don’t involve any conspicuous, visible scarring.

Your Recovery and Results

Regarding returning to normal activities, most patients can return to work or school within a week or two after the procedure, depending on the type of surgery and the extent of recovery required. You’ll be given a detailed timeline that explains your recovery period to you before the date of your surgery, and our team will ensure that they’re available to you at all times, so they can address any questions that might arise during your recovery process.

Ear surgery is a great way to achieve cosmetic goals that may not be directly related to the aging process, enabling you to adjust your appearance and enjoy a look that aligns more closely with your aesthetic goals. When performed on children, ear surgery can also have the added benefit of resolving difficult social situations by creating a more pleasing appearance.
