Otoplasty in Los Angeles

Otoplasty is otherwise known as ear surgery, specifically designed to address complaints of ears that are large, protruding, or uneven. An Otoplasty surgeon may recommend ear surgery for one or both ears, and many patients are satisfied with the results because the surgery helps them achieve better facial harmony and improves self-esteem in patients with protruding ears. It is most commonly performed on adults, with the otoplasty procedure sometimes involving the repositioning of the ears closer to the head, resizing them, or refining their shape.

Otoplasty in Los Angeles is performed as a procedure under local or general anesthesia in the outpatient service. In the operating room, the surgeon makes an incision at the rear part of the ear to expose cartilage, whereupon cartilage is then molded, folded, and in some instances removed by the surgeon. Most people return to their daily activities in a matter of weeks, with most results staying permanent; they have been shown to achieve a long-term look that is mostly not accompanied by visible marks from surgery.

Am I a good candidate for Otoplasty in Los Angeles?

In the first session at our office for ear surgery in Los Angeles, we discuss your whole history and see what is want from this cosmetic operation. Here are some of the issues that are involved in successfully moving forward with an otoplasty in Los Angeles:

  1. Active smokers will not be good candidates as they will have to quit nicotine for six weeks of abstinence before going in for ear surgery. Smoking can raise blood pressure levels, interfere with the processes of anesthesia, cause susceptibility to infection, and, above all, impair healing that occurs in the skin or cartilage.
  2. During Otoplasty procedure in Los Angeles general anesthesia is required in the process, the patient must be in good health.
  3. A prospective patient should have a realistic perception of the final outcome. Part of your consultation with us will be discussing your probable outcomes.
  4. You are not allowed to sleep on your side for at least two weeks after otoplasty surgery and should avoid rubbing or scratching at your ears.

What is Otoplasty Treatment in Los Angeles like?

What is Otoplasty Treatment in Los Angeles like?

While the actual Otoplasty Treatment in Los Angeles may differ, they all work similarly:

Step 1: Anesthesia

Ear surgery in Los angeles is performed with a combination of local anesthesia and IV sedation or general anesthesia. We always work with board-certified anesthesiologists for optimal patient safety.

Step 2: Incision:

As much as possible, we make the incisions on the back of the ear. If they have to be placed on the front, we try to place the incisions in the folds of the ear. This way, we avoid as much visible scarring as possible.

Step 3: Incision Closure

After the repair, we will close the site using sutures and a dressing. You will leave here wearing a headband during your recovery. On average, most patients take approximately two hours for the entire otoplasty operation.

What can you expect with Otoplasty in Los Angeles?

Before

On the first consultation for Otoplasty in Los Angeles, we will discuss your case with you and examine the structure of your ears to know exactly what you aim to achieve, followed by assessing your medical history. Then, you will have all the information regarding the otoplasty procedure in Los angeles, any potential outcome, and complications that may occur. There might be advice to avoid smoking and particular medications taken in order not to lead to bleeding during the otoplasty treatment. In the case of young patients, specific measures concerning their adaptation to the whole process might be considered.

During

Otoplasty treatment in Los Angeles usually takes 1-2 hours of surgery and can be done formally or informally. It can employ local sedation or general anesthesia based on the age and other particulars of the operation. To reshape the ears close to the head in a natural fashion, the cosmetic surgeon incises behind the ears and rearranges the section of cartilage. At the end of otoplasty surgery in Los Angeles, Dr. Jain will suture the incision, which in some way lessens the appearance of a scar.

After

After the otoplasty surgery in Los Angeles, you will feel some pain or may swell and possibly discolor around the surgery area, but these complications are manageable once you take some specified pain relievers. During otoplasty surgery, the external ears will be wrapped; while healing, one must wear a protective headband at night. Most people return to work or school within a week, but you must avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. Results are usually observed right away, but full recovery takes weeks as the swelling resolves. We will continue to monitor recovery.

Dr Jains office was my first and last choice. Tanya & Dr Jain were so welcoming & professional. Dr Jain was so understanding since the start & helped me get to my goal. He understood my body goals & was very transparent about the outcome. During the procedure I was very comfortable & pain free. Post op was minimal soreness; Dr Jain was so attentive he would check up on me every day for about 2 weeks to make sure I was doing well. I would recommend Dr Jain if you want people to think you were born with that post op body! I would definitely recommend Dr Jain to anyone, he’s awesome at what he does!

Hi, I’m here at Dr. Jain’s office for my 6-week follow-up after my awake mini tummy tuck. For years, I struggled with my mommy pouch after having three kids. I always wore loose shirts to hide my stomach, but now, I can confidently say I feel so much better about myself. I can wear anything I want without feeling self-conscious. It’s only been six weeks, and I’m already so happy with my results! I truly love what Dr. Jain has done—he is incredibly accommodating. Dr. Jain and Tanya take such great care of you before and after surgery. I appreciate everything they’ve done, and I would highly recommend them to my family and friends looking to get any work done.
