With meticulous technique and an eye for symmetry, Dr. Garth Fisher performs otoplasty to reshape the ears in harmony with the face—enhancing proportion while preserving individuality.

Quiet Refinement for a Balanced Profile

Otoplasty, otherwise known as ear reshaping, is a delicate art, sometimes performed on children who are only 5 years old. The purpose of otoplasty is an obvious one: reduce the prominence of the ears so they are no longer a focus. For adults and children alike, ear reshaping restores confidence by drawing attention away from the ears and onto the face. To accomplish this purpose, ear reshaping can include several different procedures in Dr. Fisher's Beverly Hills office.

The Different Types of Otoplasty

Ear pinning is the most common form of otoplasty. This is done when the ears stick out too far, bringing them closer to the head. Other forms of otoplasty include reducing the size or altering the shape of the ears. The bottom line is this: if your ears attract unwanted attention, even if it's just your own, otoplasty with Dr. Fisher may be the perfect solution.

Making the Right Decision

Determining if one should get otoplasty is a fairly simple process—if you are unhappy with some cosmetic aspect of your ears, you are likely a candidate for ear reshaping. Specifically, otoplasty is perfect for patients experiencing the following:

Overly large ears
Ears that protrude outward from the head
Misshapen ears, due to either trauma or congenital conditions

Otoplasty FAQs

What type of anesthesia is used for otoplasty?

In adults and older children, otoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Younger children generally require general anesthesia to ensure they remain still throughout the procedure.

How long does the procedure take?

Otoplasty is generally completed within two to three hours depending on the extent of correction and whether both ears are being addressed.

Where are the incisions placed?

Incisions are made behind the ear in the natural crease where they remain well hidden. From this access point, Dr. Fisher can reshape, reposition, or reduce the ear with minimal visible scarring.

What is the minimum age for otoplasty?

The procedure can be performed on children as young as five, once the ears have reached close to their adult size. Addressing prominent ears early can spare children from self-consciousness during formative years.

What does recovery involve?

A protective bandage or headband is worn around the ears for the first one to two weeks to support healing and maintain the new position. Swelling and mild discomfort are expected but manageable. Most adults return to work within one to two weeks, and children typically return to school within a similar timeframe.

Are results from otoplasty permanent?

Yes. Once the cartilage has been reshaped and secured, the results are lasting. There is a small risk of minor recurrence in the early healing period if the supporting sutures loosen before the cartilage fully sets.

Can otoplasty correct ears that were previously operated on?

Yes, though revision cases are more complex. The availability of tissue and the extent of prior cartilage manipulation both factor into what can be achieved. Dr. Fisher assesses each revision case individually during consultation.

Can otoplasty address one ear only?

Yes. When asymmetry is the primary concern, correction can be performed on a single ear to bring it into better proportion with the other.

Will otoplasty affect hearing?

No. Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the outer ear only and has no effect on the ear canal or hearing function.

How soon are results visible?

Initial results are apparent once post-operative bandaging is removed, typically within one to two weeks. Final results become fully visible as swelling resolves over the following weeks and months.
