Ear surgery refines the ear's shape, size, or position for a more harmonious appearance.
Reasons for Ear Surgery
Ear surgery, medically referred to as otoplasty or auricular surgery, isn't always about vanity. While many patients seek it for cosmetic improvements—such as re-sculpting prominent ears—others need reconstructive solutions for trauma, birth defects, or earlobe damage. Torn earlobes, often from earrings or accidents, can lead to discomfort and self-consciousness. Some individuals simply want to reduce the size of an overly large ear or fix lobes stretched by heavy jewelry or gauges. Whatever the reason, the goal remains the same: to help you achieve ears that look and feel more in line with your overall facial proportions. At pēkomd®, we begin every ear surgery consultation by exploring your motivations, medical history, and personal aesthetic goals. Through this candid discussion, we determine the best approach—ensuring that your outcome is both functional and visually pleasing.
