Otoplasty

Ear Set Back, also known as Otoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reposition protruding or uneven ears closer to the head, creating a more balanced and natural appearance. This procedure enhances the overall symmetry of the face, boosting self-confidence. At Dr. Raja Fakhoury Clinic, we specialize in ear reshaping, using advanced techniques to achieve discreet, natural-looking results.

Procedure Details

Otoplasty procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia, and involves making small incisions behind the ear to minimize visible scarring. The cartilage is reshaped or repositioned to bring the ears closer to the head. In some cases, excess cartilage may be removed for optimal results.

Steps of the Surgery

   A thorough consultation will help determine the most suitable technique for your needs.
2. Anesthesia:
   Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure
3. Incisions:
   Small incisions are made behind the ears to access the cartilage.
4. Reshaping and Repositioning:
   The cartilage is reshaped or repositioned to reduce protrusion.
5. Closure:
   The incisions are closed with sutures, and a headband is worn to help maintain the ear’s new position.
