Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a procedure that corrects the shape or position of the ears. The goal is to improve the appearance and symmetry of the ears and, in some cases, correct hearing problems or injuries. The surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia and can be carried out on adults or children over 5 years of age.

Ear surgery is an outpatient procedure that involves local or general anesthesia, depending on the case. He Dr. Daniel J. Rodríguez Morales de los Ríos, Reshapes and repositions ear cartilage to give it a more desired shape. The procedure usually lasts 1 to 2 hours. After surgery, bandages are placed on the ears to maintain their shape and promote healing. A recovery period of one to two weeks may be required before returning to normal activities.

After otoplasty, it is common to have pain, swelling, and bruising in the ears. Our exceptional plastic and reconstructive surgeon will recommend medication to relieve pain and ice to reduce swelling. It is important to follow our specialist's post-operative care instructions, which may include wearing bandages for several days to a week, and avoiding activities that may cause pressure or damage to the ears. Most people can return to light activities after a few days and normal activities after one to two weeks. It may take several weeks for the swelling and bruising to completely disappear.
