If you are concerned about the appearance of your ears, whether due to prominence, asymmetry, or structural irregularities, otoplasty surgery offers a safe and effective solution. At Solomon Facial Plastic, we provide otoplasty in Toronto to help patients achieve a more balanced, natural ear shape that complements their facial features.
Led by Dr. Philip Solomon, an Otolaryngologist Head and Neck Surgeon who is double board-certified in Facial Plastic Surgery, with over 25 years of experience, our clinic combines advanced surgical techniques with patient-centred care. As one of Toronto’s leading specialists in facial and reconstructive procedures, Dr. Solomon delivers consistently high-quality outcomes for patients seeking ear otoplasty or correction.
Otoplasty surgery is a procedure used to correct structural abnormalities of the ears, including ears that are overly large, small, or misshapen. These shaping techniques help create a more natural appearance. While the procedure can enhance self-confidence, it does not affect hearing ability.
Individuals with ear trauma resulting from dog bites, car accidents, or sports injuries may consider otoplasty in Toronto to restore a more typical ear shape. Others may choose the procedure to reposition ears that protrude too far from the head.
Otoplasty is suitable for anyone looking to change the appearance of their ears. While it is commonly performed on children over the age of four, many adults also opt for the surgery to correct or refine their ear structure.
Ear pinning surgery is recommended for patients who feel their ears protrude more than they would like. The procedure repositions the ears closer to the sides of the head for a more balanced appearance.
Ear augmentation can treat ears that did not fully develop or microtia (small ears). The procedure incorporates grafting to enlarge the outer part of the ear. Conversely, for larger ears (macrotia), ear reductions are performed wherein tissue is removed to make the ears smaller.
Otoplasty ear pinning is frequently conducted on both ears for a more balanced, symmetrical look.
This type of surgery changes the appearance of the ears. Traditional otoplasty is the most common form of correcting visible deformities. Our cosmetic surgeon conducts the procedure by creating a small incision in your ear while positioning permanent sutures to hold the ear’s cartilage in its new form.
Incisionless otoplasty redefines the shape of the ear without being invasive. The surgery manipulates cartilage within the conchal bowl for a transformative effect. The procedure is non-invasive with less downtime and risk.
It permits greater customization while accounting for the proportion and balance of facial features.
Choosing the most suitable approach means determining whether traditional or incisionless otoplasty aligns best with your needs. Traditional otoplasty addresses visible imperfections and provides a comprehensive transformation. However, there is a greater risk of infection or complications. Dr. Solomon takes every precaution to minimize the risk of complications, but as with any surgical procedure, some risk remains.
In contrast, incisionless otoplasty is non-invasive, which reduces both risk and recovery time. Patients are typically able to resume normal activity the same day. That said, extra care must be taken to protect the skin around the ears during the healing process. This option generally results in more subtle changes.
During this phase, we will:
Otoplasty can be carried out under local sedation or general anesthesia. An anesthesiologist provides anesthesia to keep patients comfortable during surgery. General anesthesia (where patients are fully asleep) or local anesthesia with sedation (patients are sleepy but can still answer questions) is used.
The surgery takes one to two hours, depending on the patients’ anatomy. It is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home on the same day.
After surgery, a dressing is placed over the ears. It must remain dry and clean. We will review how to care for the dressing to speed up recovery and prevent infection.
While recovering, patients must:
Recovery may take up to eight weeks, with visual improvements typically becoming noticeable within two to three weeks. However, healing times can vary from patient to patient.
A follow-up appointment will be scheduled one week after your surgery to assess your healing progress. During this visit, your dressing will also be removed.
For a complete recovery, one to two additional follow-up visits may be required. If the procedure was performed on a child, they may need to limit physical activity, including gym class, sports, and recess, once they return to school.
