Comprehensive Ear Surgery Options
At pēkomd®, we provide several ear surgery options in Columbus tailored to meet individual needs:
Otoplasty (Ear Pinning)
Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning, is designed to correct protruding ears. This procedure brings the ears closer to the head, reducing their prominence. It is suitable for both children and adults and can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced teasing or self-consciousness due to their ear shape. The surgery typically involves reshaping the cartilage through incisions made behind the ears, resulting in minimal visible scarring.
Ear Reshaping Surgery
For individuals with misshapen ears due to congenital conditions or trauma, ear reshaping surgery can create a more natural and aesthetically pleasing ear contour. This procedure may involve cartilage grafting, removal of excess tissue, or reshaping the existing cartilage to achieve the desired ear shape.
Earlobe Repair
Earlobes can become stretched, torn, or deformed due to heavy earrings, trauma, or aging. Earlobe repair surgery corrects these issues, restoring a natural appearance to the earlobes. This minor procedure is performed under local anesthesia and involves the removal of damaged tissue and careful suturing to promote healing.
Ear Reconstruction
For more severe ear deformities or following traumatic injuries, ear reconstruction surgery can restore both form and function. This complex procedure may involve multiple stages and techniques, including cartilage grafting and tissue reconstruction, to rebuild the ear structure.
