Ear Surgery / Otoplasty

Prominent ears can be a source of self-consciousness for both children and adults, affecting confidence and overall well-being. Many individuals feel uncomfortable when their ears are overly noticeable. If you or your child want to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing ear appearance, otoplasty can help enhance facial harmony and boost self-confidence.

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of large ears and/or reposition protruding ears closer to the head. The procedure is customized based on the shape of the ears and the desired outcome.

Dr. Kenneth A. Godwin, a highly skilled board-certified plastic surgeon, performs otoplasty with precision and artistry, ensuring natural-looking results that complement the rest of the facial features. His minimally invasive techniques help restore a more balanced and proportionate appearance.

During your consultation, Dr. Godwin will take the time to understand your concerns and goals. He will evaluate the ears and provide a detailed overview of your treatment options, thoroughly explaining the procedure, recovery process, and expected results.

Dr. Godwin performs ear surgery on both adults and children with concerns such as protruding, abnormally shaped, or overly large ears. Otoplasty is one of the few cosmetic surgeries performed on children, often helping them avoid teasing and boosting their self-esteem early in life.

Procedure:

Your procedure will be performed under local anesthesia at our state-of-the-art surgical suite in Yardley, PA. Dr. Godwin and his team will provide exceptional and comprehensive care to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Otoplasty typically involves minimal pain and downtime. Customized instructions will be provided to you before surgery. While each patient’s recovery experience is unique, most individuals heal within two weeks. Dr. Godwin will monitor your progress closely, advising when normal activities, including exercise, can gradually resume.

Recovery:

Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort following the procedure. Temporary activity restrictions will be necessary to ensure proper healing. Full results become apparent once the swelling subsides, and a compression garment is required to support optimal healing.
