Ears may be a small feature of the face, but their shape, size, and position can greatly influence overall balance and confidence. At Tran Plastic Surgery, we specialize in advanced ear surgery procedures, also known as otoplasty and reconstructive ear surgery to create a natural, harmonious appearance. Whether correcting a congenital condition, repairing trauma-related damage, or enhancing aesthetics, our goal is to help every patient feel confident and comfortable in their own skin.
Why Consider Ear Surgery?
Ear surgery addresses a wide variety of cosmetic and functional concerns. Many patients seek treatment because their ears draw unwanted attention, while others require correction after injury or complications from prior piercings. Common concerns we treat include:
-
Prominent ears that protrude noticeably from the head
-
Macrotia, or overly large ears
-
Cauliflower ear and other deformities caused by trauma
-
Split or torn earlobes from earrings or accidents
-
Widened piercing holes or stretched earlobes
If you have lived with discomfort, self-consciousness, or functional issues caused by your ears, ear surgery offers lasting improvement with natural-looking results.

The Ear Surgery Procedure
Ear surgery techniques vary depending on your specific needs. Common approaches include:
-
Otoplasty (ear pinning): Reshaping the cartilage to bring protruding ears closer to the head.
-
Reduction surgery: Correcting macrotia by reducing overly large ears.
-
Reconstructive repair: Addressing trauma, cauliflower ear, or congenital deformities.
-
Earlobe repair: Correcting torn or stretched earlobes and restoring a natural contour.
Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation, though more complex reconstructions may require general anesthesia. Incisions are typically hidden behind the ear or within natural folds, ensuring minimal visible scarring.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from ear surgery is generally smooth, with most patients returning to work or school within a week. During the healing process, a protective dressing or headband may be worn to support the new ear shape. Swelling and mild discomfort are normal but usually subside within days.
Final results become visible within a few weeks, and the improvement is permanent. Patients often report a significant boost in self-confidence, enjoying hairstyles, hats, and earrings without hesitation.
Combining Ear Surgery with Other Procedures
For those seeking more comprehensive facial harmony, ear surgery can be performed alongside other facial procedures, such as:
-
Chin Augmentation – Enhances jawline definition for balanced proportions.
-
Eyelid Surgery – Rejuvenates the eyes for a refreshed appearance.
During your consultation, Dr. Tran will help you explore whether a combination approach can maximize your results.
