What to Expect From Ear Plastic Surgery in Tampa
Whether you are receiving surgery for prominent ears, large ears or mishappen ears, you can expect the following from Otoplasty surgery:
Before the Surgery
During your initial ear surgery consultation, Dr. Soler will thoroughly examine your ears, review your health history and discuss your goals. This allows Dr. Soler to create a personalized treatment plan for you. He will also give you preoperative instructions on how to prepare for the operation.
During the Surgery
Dr. Soler performs otoplasty under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The procedure will vary based on your unique goals. However, Dr. Soler will choose incision areas that best hide otoplasty scars.
After the Surgery
After surgery, we will cover your ears in bandages for protection. Your ears will remain bandaged for several days. Any initial discomfort after surgery can be minimized with oral pain medication. This procedure is also suitable for children. We perform otoplasty on children aged five or six.
Ears gain their normal appearance within 10 – 20 days after the ear surgery in Tampa. You may have to wear a headband for protection for two to three weeks. It’s also important to avoid any contact sports for about three days after surgery.
Good Candidates for Otoplasty
People with the following concerns can benefit from ear reshaping:
- Protruding ears
- Small, constricted ears
