For cartilage reshaping, the procedure begins with an incision behind the ear to allow the surgeon to rebuild. The incision also allows patients to have a discrete scar following the surgery. Our surgeons perform this surgery in a delicate and precise manor to offer full symmetry of the ears.
If the ear needs to be re- positioned, the surgeon will move the ear closer to the head after they have been reshaped. There are many techniques to perform this surgery such as cartilage sparing and scoring to achieve the desired position and shape.
This procedure will be finalized with removable or traditional sutures and the area will be wrapped appropriately.
This procedure local, intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Following your consultation, our surgeons will recommend the best choice for you.
If you live in Austin or the surrounding area, schedule a consultation with our surgeons to determine whether you are a good candidate for this procedure.
