Hagerstown Otoplasty - Ear Reshaping Surgery

Hagerstown otoplasty "pins back", reshapes, or re-sizes ears that are larger or protrude more than desired. Hagerstown otoplasty cannot improve hearing but it can improve a person's appearance and self-esteem. Hagerstown otoplasty can offer great benefits to patients of all ages, but it is most often sought for children or adolescents who are self-conscious or suffer teasing from others. Through this simple procedure, teasing can be alleviated and self-confidence in children can grow.

At Plastic Surgery Services, Maryland cosmetic surgeon Dr. Garazo can perform otoplasty to correct numerous aesthetic ear issues. Though the procedure is most commonly sought to correct protruding ears, it can also address other issues such as "lop ear" where the tips of the ears bend down, "cupped" or very small ears, or "shell ear" where the outer ridges or creases of the ears are missing. Dr. Garazo can also correct large or stretched ear lobes, making them more proportionate to the rest of the face.

Ear surgery is generally an outpatient procedure, performed under general anesthesia. Children and adults can usually return to work or school after 5 to 7 days.

For those considering Hagerstown otoplasty either for yourself or your child, Maryland plastic surgeon Dr. Henry Garazo invites you to explore your options through a patient consultation. To schedule a consultation at Plastic Surgery Services, visit us online, or call 301-791-1800.
