Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Dr. Cynthia M. Gregg provides ear surgery for patients in Cary, Raleigh, and the surrounding areas of North Carolina.

Many children, and even adults, experience cruel taunts and nicknames due to large, protruding ears. Even a slight distortion can lead to self-consciousness and poor self -esteem. Not only is it possible to “pin back” the ears, but ears can be reshaped, reduced in size or made more symmetrical. Once the ears are fully developed, Dr. Cynthia Gregg can perform otoplasty to improve your protruding ears.

How is Ear Surgery Performed in Cary, North Carolina?

Surgery begins with a small incision behind the ear in the natural fold that occurs where the ear and head meet. The excess skin and cartilage will then be removed or reshaped until the desired results are achieved. Permanent sutures will then be placed to pin back the ears and secure the cartilage.

The entire procedure can take one to two hours, and soft dressings will be applied to the ear for a few days. Patients may experience minor discomfort and it is recommended that patients do not sleep on their side for a few days. The scarring is minimal but also hidden to the eye because the incision is placed behind the ear. Patients in Cary and the surrounding North Carolina area love the newfound confidence in themselves after otoplasty.
