For individuals with prominent ears, otoplasty surgery is an option that has helped countless women and men to feel more confident. If you have protruding ears that make you feel self-conscious, Dr. Derek Ford performs this straightforward procedure to bring the ears closer to the head for a more understated appearance. Patients who undergo ear surgery for cosmetic reasons typically cite a variety of different motivators. Many were teased as children for their protruding ears. Some feel that they cannot wear their hair up or in a short style due to the appearance of their ears. Although its still surgery, ear surgery is a relatively minor procedure that is often performed using local anesthesia with the option of IV sedation. Most patients are back to work and other social activities within a couple of days.
