Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) Before and After Pictures
Case 1
The ears should serve as a framework for one’s face, and not as a focus of attention. The protruding ears can be distracting and distruptive to overall facial harmony. Otoplasty is a procedure which resets the ears back to the normal position and reestablish the facial aesthetics.
This patient has always been bothered by the appearance of protruding ears. She underwent otoplasty (combining the Mustarde technique with conchal set back) with Dr. Kim. The picture on the right is about 3 months after the procedure.

Pictures on the right are from 1 month after the otoplasty procedure.
