The otoplasty procedure improves the shape, position, and proportion of the ears. Patient’s most typical concerns include prominent ears (ears that protrude or are overly large), as well as earlobes that have been distorted through gauging and piercing.
You may choose otoplasty if you are bothered by your ear’s shape, size, or protrusion. Children, in particular, are often teased about their ears. This can erode self-confidence and facilitate low self-esteem. Patients with ear abnormalities often feel the need to hide their ears using hairstyles and hats.
If you or your child is troubled by one of these concerns, ear surgery could be a great option. Many choose Dallas otoplasty because of its ability to enhance ear shape, symmetry, and overall facial harmony.

Otoplasty is an outpatient procedure that alters the shape, size, and structure of patient’s ears by reducing or repositioning tissues. More than 4,000 patients undergo this operation annually. When performed by a surgeon with Dr. Teotia’s qualifications, otoplasty can provide some outstanding benefits.
Large or misshapen ears can distract from a beautiful profile. Otoplasty can both restore the ears and create a more balanced facial aesthetic.
Protruding ears can limit hairstyle choices. There are many styles that, unfortunately, emphasize the ears. Otoplasty can allow you to have the hairstyles that you have always wanted to try!

Typically, suitable candidates for otoplasty:
Ideal candidates for otoplasty are children and adults who wish to improve ear symmetry and appearance.
Adults and children alike should realize that no two ears are perfectly symmetrical. Therefore, realistic expectations are essential to the success of the procedure.
Qualified patients should be free of bleeding disorders and in good health.
Any additional requirements will also be discussed in your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Teotia.
Although the details of the procedure will vary between patients, there are several typical steps that take place during an otoplasty.
Dr. Teotia will first administer anesthesia when you are comfortable and ready for the procedure. After you have been safely sedated, Dr. Teotia will create an incision behind the ear. If incisions are made in front of the ear, she will place them within natural folds to prevent prominent scarring. A small amount of cartilage and skin is then removed or repositioned as needed. Dr. Teotia will take great care to ensure that your ears are positioned correctly and will heal naturally. Lastly, she will suture the tissues into place and apply bandages. Depending on the specific needs of each patient, the entire procedure lasts about two to three hours.
One of the great things about otoplasty is that your results should be immediately visible after surgery. However, you will still need to follow the after care instructions carefully to achieve the best outcome.
We advise you to sleep sitting up for several nights to protect your healing incisions. A few days later, you will return to have the bandages removed. You will then need to wear a protective headband for a few weeks. It is crucial to wear your protective headgear and bandages as instructed. During this time, you will also need to avoid exercise or other strenuous activities that might interfere with healing.
If your child is the one receiving surgery, you should plan for them to take a week off from school. Parents should also arrange for someone to be home with their child during recovery. This often involves taking time off from work or asking another adult family member to help.
If you have any questions, issues, or concerns at any point in the recovery process, Dr. Teotia would be happy to help!
Otoplasty is ideal for patients between five and six years old. Adults can and do opt for otoplasty with excellent results.
