Otoplasty | Central Austin Dermatology & Aesthetics

What is otoplasty?

Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning or ear reshaping, is a surgical procedure that corrects the shape, size, or position of the ears. It can be used to treat a variety of ear deformities, including:

Prominent ears:Otoplasty is primarily used to correct protruding ears, also known as prominuaris.
Misshapen ears:Otoplasty can rebuild ears that are damaged or misshapen.
Large ears:Otoplasty can reduce the size of large ears.
Earlobes:Otoplasty can alter large or stretched earlobes, or lobes with wrinkles or large creases.
Congenital conditions:Otoplasty can correct defects that are present from birth.
Trauma:Otoplasty can correct defects caused by injury.
Missing ears:Otoplasty can build new ears for people who were born without them or lost them through injury.

During the procedure, a surgeon makes incisions in the inner creases of the ears or on the backs of the ears. They then reshape the cartilage framework of the ear using permanent sutures.

I’m happy to say that Dr. Simi Cadmus and PA Courtney Scamardo are continuing Dr. Katherine Farady’s high standards of care and service. Good dermatologists are hard to find; I strongly recommend this entire practice.
