Is Otoplasty painful?

The Otoplasty surgery isn’t painful as you will be under general anesthesia for it, however, you can expect some discomfort following the procedure due to the bandage used to reduce swelling and preserve healing. Dr. Saadat will prescribe some temporary pain medication to make the first stage of your recovery more bearable.

How many appointments will I need?

You will need to return after a week so Dr. Saadat can evaluate your recovery. After that check-up, he will have you return at least a few more times after that, but you can expect anywhere between four and six follow-up appointments, usually at one week, three weeks, six weeks, three months, and six months. Dr. Saadat will always inform you of when you will need to return at the end of each appointment.

How long until I see results?

Depending on the condition of your ears before surgery, you may be able to notice results almost immediately! Your ears will still be settling into place and will most likely still be bruised and swollen, but our patients can begin to see the benefits from their Otoplasty in about six weeks, with the full results revealing themselves after about three months when your ears are fully healed.

Can I combine Otoplasty with other procedures?

Our Beverly Hills Otoplasty patients are so pleased with their appearance after their surgery, but sometimes they also want more work done to enhance their profile. In these instances, some well-paired surgeries include Rhinoplasty , Facelift , or Brow Lift , but if you have any particular goals in mind for your appearance, please discuss them with Dr. Saadat during your consultation. He can use his years of experience and keen aesthetic eye to help you find a treatment or procedure that will work best for you.

What are the risks associated with Otoplasty?

Dr. Saadat takes his patient’s safety very seriously and uses his decades of experience to provide wonderful transformations with positive results. However, Otoplasty is still a surgery, and with any surgery, there are potential risks and side effects, such as: Allergies to tape, suture materials, glues, blood products, topical preparations, or injected agents Anesthesia risks Asymmetry Bleeding (hematoma) Blood clots Change in skin sensation Infection Pain, which may persist Poor wound healing Possibility of revisional surgery Skin contour irregularities Skin discoloration/swelling Unfavorable scarring If you experience any long-lasting or concerning reactions during your recovery, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Introduction
to Otoplasty

The art of rejuvenation

Protruding ears are often the result of improper formation of the fold (located on the inner rim of the ear), in conjunction with a naturally deep concha, both of which serve to push the entire ear away from the side of the head. Ear contouring surgery can be performed on both adults and children, although it is advisable to wait until about age 6 when ears are almost fully grown. At the Beverly Hills Aesthetic Surgical Institute, our goal is to provide each Beverly Hills Otoplasty patient with results that they can be proud of and increase their self-confidence.

What is Otoplasty?

Ear contouring surgery (otoplasty, ear pinning) is performed to improve facial symmetry and proportional balance through the meticulous surgical enhancement of the ear structures.

Otoplasty procedures require an expert facial plastic surgeon with the requisite experience and strong working knowledge of intricate ear anatomy. At the Beverly Hills Aesthetic Surgical Institute, with office locations in Beverly Hills, Valencia, and Santa Clarita, California, Triple Board-certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Dr. David Saadat’s vast surgical expertise is sought after by patients with diverse ear contouring objectives, including, but not limited to:

Correct structural ear malformations resulting from trauma or injury
Repair misshapen or malformed ear cartilage for both children and adults (children should be at least 4-6 years of age at the time of surgery to ensure complete ear structure formation)
Enhance the overall cosmetic appearance of the ears
Resolve genetic earlobe deformities, such as earlobes with clefts, earlobes with skin tags, and duplicate earlobes
Treat conditions of (overly large ears) or (complete absence of ears or excessively small ears)
Enhance the appearance of overly prominent ears, which are defined as ears that project more than 2 cm from the side of the head. Ear protrusion may present unilaterally (one ear) or bilaterally (both ears)
Revise and improve upon the results of previous ear contouring surgery (otoplasty)

What are the benefits of Otoplasty?

For a patient with larger or protruding back ears, there are so many wonderful benefits from Otoplasty, including:

Can be performed at almost any age
Correcting prominent ears
Increased self-confidence
More natural facial appearance
Results are permanent
Treatment is safe

Who are the Best Candidates for Otoplasty?

If you were unable to get ear surgery when you were younger, that’s perfectly OK! We just ask that you be a nonsmoker, maintain a positive attitude with realistic expectations, and not have any pre-existing conditions that can cause complications during recovery. The best candidates for Otoplasty in Beverly Hills are those with the following characteristics:

Healthy, without a life-threatening illness or untreated chronic ear infections
Generally 5 years old, or when a child’s ear cartilage is stable enough for correction
Cooperative and follow instructions well
Able to communicate their feelings and not voice objections when surgery is discussed

What’s the first step?

The first step in getting an Otoplasty in Beverly Hills is to schedule your consultation at the Beverly Hills Aesthetic Surgical Institute. During your appointment, Dr. Saadat will take the time to design a personalized treatment plan that seamlessly integrates your aesthetic preferences and desired surgical outcomes. Your surgical plan will take into consideration the potential for small ear adjustments to impact the balance and proportions of your entire face, and will always incorporate the least invasive facial surgery techniques available to reduce the risk of complications and minimize your discomfort. Once your plan is created and you agree with our direction, our Patient Coordinator will help you schedule your surgical date.

What to Expect On The Day of Otoplasty?

The otoplasty procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia, IV sedation, or a local anesthetic, but this will be discussed before your surgery. Dr. Saadat will work through an incision discreetly placed behind the ears, employing a combination of cartilage scoring and suturing techniques to augment and restructure the fold, before gently excising surplus cartilage and skin. If necessary, additional sutures on the back of the cartilage can be placed to bring the entire ear closer to the side of the head. Dr. Saadat’s ultimate goal with every ear contouring procedure is to produce subtly enhanced results while avoiding an unnatural or “pinned back” appearance.

Otoplasty Recovery

Aftermath

Although every patient’s recovery experience is unique, most individuals return to work or school after 1-2 weeks, although you will need to refrain from strenuous physical activity for an additional 4-6 weeks. You will be given pain medication to manage any discomfort and antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. Children may need to be monitored during the first 24-36 hours after surgery to ensure the initial surgical dressing remains dry and in place. When you return to the Beverly Hills Aesthetic Surgical Institute for your one-week follow-up appointment, you will notice visible improvements to the shape and position of your ears, and these initial results will continue to improve over the next 4-6 weeks, as any residual swelling subsides.

How Much Does Otoplasty Cost in Beverly Hills?

The price of Otoplasty

The cost of an Otoplasty in Beverly Hills will be determined by a number of factors, including the techniques and method of sedation used, as well as the degree of change you are trying to achieve. When you come in for your consultation and Dr. Saadat creates your surgical plan, our Patient Coordinator will then be able to provide you with a price breakdown.

I was referred to Dr. Saadat by a friend having seen the amazing result on my friend’s face. I made an appointment and Dr. Saadat already knew what will make the transformation in my face. I had two plastic surgeries (by a very reputable plastic surgeon in Pasadena) and both were absolute waste of time and money. Dr. Saadat recommended an upper eyelid bleph

If I could give TEN STARS, I would! It’s a wonder Dr. Saadat isn’t the most world renowned plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills… his bedside manner and unrivaled eye are rarely found together, and I am so happy for everything that he has done for me.
