The Ear Surgery Procedure
During your ear surgery, an incision will be made behind the ear to access the cartilage. Dr. Rios then sculpts and reshapes the cartilage, pulling the ears closer to the head for a more natural and symmetrical appearance. Ear surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, meaning you'll be asleep. Recovery involves wearing a protective headband to support the newly shaped ears while they heal. Ear surgery is a safe and effective way to enhance the appearance of the ears and improve self-confidence. You'll want to talk to Dr. Rios for specifics on your recovery timeline, as each procedure differs slightly.
