This patient had a cumbersome keloid, or overgrowth up of scar tissue, on their earlobe that they wanted removed. In order to restore the form and function of this patient's earlobe, double Board-Certified Dermatologist and Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Brandon Beal proceeded with a surgical excision to remove the keloid followed by an otoplasty to reshape the patient's earlobe. 

Otoplasty is a surgery performed under local anesthesia to correct deformities, minimize defects, and reduce scars. Ear reconstruction and reshaping is commonly performed to correct defects caused by removal of skin cancers or keloids, stretching due to gauging or wearing heavy earrings, or earlobe rips.

The earlobe is a small area yet it can have a big impact on your appearance. A misshapen or deformed earlobe can cause some people to feel self-conscious about their appearance. Otoplasty can help re-create a natural shape of the outer ear which will bring balance and proportion to the face. 

We can help you to restore form and function to your ear. Our facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons delivers remarkable outcomes and patient experiences through quality care, compassion, and innovation. We are a team who cares deeply about our neighbors and are a positive resource to the community.
