Cosmetic Ear Surgery
What is Ear Surgery (Octoplasty)?

Otoplasty, or sometimes described as “pinning back” the ears, is designed to change the ear shape and contour. It may be performed on anyone over the age of six years old – when ear growth is almost complete. For children with severely protruding ears, it is recommended surgery be performed at an early age before they are subjected to psychological stress related to the condition.

Before cosmetic ear surgery, a medical history will be taken and a physical examination conducted. The physician and patient or, in the case of a minor, a family member, will discuss how the ears should look and what can realistically be expected. The type of anesthesia to be used, the procedure, and possible risks and complications are also discussed.

Cosmetic Ear Surgery - What To Expect
Otoplasty is performed in our on-site surgery facility. It can be done under general/MAC anesthesia with the patient asleep or under local anesthesia in which the area is numbed, and the patient remains awake. Premedication may be administered to relax the patient. Preoperative instructions may include the elimination of certain aspirin-containing drugs for several weeks before the procedure to minimize the possibility of excess bleeding.
 
Ear surgery can take up to two hours or more, depending upon the extent of surgery. There are several cosmetic ear surgery procedures that can be used, which are designed to bring the ears closer to the head. Dr. Marvel may either fold down the cartilage and use sutures to keep the folds together or remove excess cartilage. After reshaping the cartilage, the incisions are closed with small sutures and the ears are covered with bandages.
 
Pain connected with cosmetic ear surgery is minimal to moderate and controlled with oral medication. Bandages are removed within a few days but may be replaced with a lighter head dressing. Bruising around the area occurs but fades within a few weeks. Some temporary swelling occurs, but the condition can be alleviated by keeping the head elevated when reclining. Although patients are usually up and around one or two days after surgery, the decision as to when normal activities can be resumed is determined by Dr. Marvel and is based on the extent of surgery and the patient’s healing process. Each year thousands of otoplasty procedures are successfully performed. Occasionally, a second procedure is necessary if an ear begins to protrude again.

What You Need to Know

During the consultation, Dr. Marvel will examine your facial features, ask you questions about your medical history and evaluate your general physical condition. The result of this examination will determine procedures involved. For example, a Rhinoplasty involves the reshaping of the nose, while a facelift requires making an incision that follows the hairline.

Dr Noah performed my procedure. I am very impressed with the result. Dr Noah exceeded my expectations. I've never been this confident about myself before. I was nervous and anxious, but Dr Noah and Sandra always answered all my questions and were available when I had concerns. I am beyond happy and grateful to Dr Noah and the entire staff.

Can't say enough about Dr. Marvel and his amazing staff. He has done several procedures on me, and they are perfection. I have not had to take any pain pills, I didn't even bruise with my procedures. He is also extremely honest, if he doesn't think you need something done he will tell you that, which is unheard of these days. I highly recommend him

I’m two week post-op from a BBL and I love my results so far! My waistline is exactly how I envisioned. My bum looks awesome as well, can’t wait for final results. Dr Noah did my procedure, he’s a true artist and listened to my concerns. The nurses were wonderful and Maria does lymphatic massages, she’s been a huge help and gives great BBL advice. Thank you Dr Noah! Hazel Webster/Nashville

I couldn’t be happier with the results that I received from my surgery at Marvel Cosmetics. For years I’ve exercised and ate healthier in an effort to maintain my weight. I’ve always been on the heavier side. Fortunately, I was able to drop about 60lbs, but there was an excess of loose skin and muscle loss in my stomach that I couldn’t tone or tighten. I received a few consultations, but I didn’t feel that everything was right until after having a consultation with Dr. Alisha Jefferson. She’s personable, patient, and made me feel extremely comfortable. She performed a tummy tuck w/muscle repair and lipo on my back. Im currently 9 weeks post op…my recovery went well, the incision is perfect, and my overall results met my expectations.. Additionally, her team was great from beginning to end.
