Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) in Pittsburgh, PA
Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)
Otoplasty at Aestique Plastic Surgery is a precise procedure that reshapes prominent or large ears. Through a discreet incision on the ear's back, the cartilage is exposed and skillfully adjusted using sutures. The surgery typically lasts just over an hour, with patients wearing a head dressing for a few days post-operation. Most return to their usual activities within a week. Under Dr. Lazzaro's expertise, we also address bifid or torn earlobes. Men seeking enhanced confidence are encouraged to book an appointment with us.
