Ear Surgery

Home/Ear Surgery

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 Benefits of Otoplasty & Ear Reconstruction

Patients choose ear surgery at our Huntington Beach practice for both cosmetic enhancement and restorative correction. Benefits often include:

  • A more balanced facial appearance

  • Improved self-confidence in social and professional settings

  • Freedom to wear hairstyles or accessories previously avoided

  • Correction of injuries, congenital irregularities, or stretched piercings

  • Permanent, natural-looking results tailored to the individual

At Tran Plastic Surgery, every procedure is designed to meet your personal goals while maintaining natural proportions that suit your facial structure.

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.

For those seeking more comprehensive facial harmony, ear surgery can be performed alongside other facial procedures, such as:
