Ear surgery is relatively uncomplicated since it’s easy for surgeons to work with the external cartilage of the ears. Ear cartilage is relatively free from nerves and blood vessels, so there is little risk of experiencing long-lasting complications. If you are in overall good health, a non-smoker and have concerns about the appearance of your ears, you are likely a good candidate for otoplasty. Factors like age, gender or lifestyle don’t usually preclude people from undergoing ear surgery. Before you set ear surgery as your goal, though, we recommend meeting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to talk about your needs and your medical history. They will be able to tell you if ear surgery is appropriate in your case.
At Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery, meeting with a surgeon is easy. Our friendly doctors are available to meet with you in person and will help you talk through your concerns. Our surgical coordinators will speak with you on your first phone call, answer your introductory questions and schedule a consultation at one of our four convenient locations in Newnan, Fayetteville, LaGrange and McDonough. During your visit, you will see an educational video and meet with your provider, who will explain all your options including the risks and benefits of ear surgery and any other procedures you may be considering.
