Reconstructing Damaged Ear Lobes with Ear Plastic Surgery
March 15th, 2012  Posted By admin   Posted in Ear Plastic Surgery | No Comments »

Improper ear piercing and wearing heavy earrings for extended periods can cause a lot of damage to your earlobes. If you have ear lobes torn by earrings or due to an accidental injury, cosmetic surgery in Orlando can help you to restore the beauty of your ears. An ear lobe surgery is not the same as otoplasty that is performed to correct protruding or poorly shaped ears. This ear plastic surgery involves an appropriate surgical procedure to rectify the ear lobe that is made up of skin and fat – no bones, no cartilage. In Orlando only an experienced surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery must be consulted for this treatment.

Earlobe surgery is an outpatient procedure performed with local anesthesia and sedatives. This form of ear plastic surgery takes about one hour – the exact duration depends upon the kind of correction required. At times, you may need the surgery on just one earlobe that suffered accidental damage.

The surgeon cuts away the skin lining the damage or piercing tract, removes excess tissue (if required) and sutures the lobe back together. The procedure would result in a smaller but visibly better earlobe. If your lobe has been split by an earring or due to an accident, you will have to wait for the wound to heal before undergoing the cosmetic surgery. Treatment however can take place immediately if the split is partial.

You will experience some discomfort after the surgery but your surgeon will prescribe safe pain killers and instructions on proper care for the treated area. No dressings are put on ear lobes, but you will need to apply antibiotic ointment on the incisions to prevent infection. Your stitches will be removed after the swelling subsides – this takes about a week.

Your ears can also be pierced (if you prefer to wear earrings after the procedure) during the ear lobe surgery. However, you need to wear sterilized stud earrings for few days following the surgery. You should actually avoid wearing big hoops and heavy earrings or danglers after recovering from the surgery. 

Ear plastic surgery for lobes makes it possible to rectify the problem of torn earlobes and a good surgeon ensures optimal treatment results. If you are looking for one, your search ends at Orlando Plastic Surgery Center. Dr. George Pope, MD, FACS is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is also a member of American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. He gives you the look that you desire after cosmetic surgery in Orlando.

Orlando Plastic Surgery Blog – Ear Plastic Surgery Can Treat Inherited Ear Deformities
December 5th, 2011  Posted By admin   Posted in Ear Plastic Surgery, Otoplasty, Uncategorized | No Comments »

Ear deformities are typically inherited. In fact, it has been observed that 59 percent of affected individuals have a family history of protruding or prominent ears.

An ear looks prominent or deformed primarily due to two reasons:

  • Underdevelopment of the antihelix
  • Overdevelopment of the concha

If the ear lacks a proper antihelix, the outer edge of the ear does not fold in toward the head, and sticks out instead. Also, if the concha is enlarged, the ear sticks out farther from the head than what is deemed normal. Such deformities can be noted in a child untill he/she reaches the age of 5 or 6 as human ears become fully mature by this age.

If a child is impacted by an ear deformity, an otoplasty or ear plastic surgery is advised to treat the problem in its earliest stage. Cosmetic deformities can result in severe emotional and behavioral problems. Self consciousness and ridicule by peers can be very disturbing for the child as also his/her parents. This is why ear plastic surgery is suggested at the age of 5 or 6. It is the safest cosmetic surgery for a child and board certified surgeons use best plastic surgery procedures for an effective treatment of deformed ears.

It must be mentioned that ear plastic surgery is done purely for cosmetic reasons and does not impact the hearing power of ears. It is not a treatment for hearing impairment. The parents of affected children should discuss all their expectations from the surgery with their board-certified plastic surgeon for cosmetic surgery in Orlando.

An otoplasty can also be performed on adults under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation. However a young child undergoing any cosmetic surgery needs to be given a safe dose of general anesthesia as kids are unlikely to remain still during a medical treatment.

The surgery is started by making an incision behind the ear. The cartilage is reshaped with sutures to hold the reformed shape and sometimes a piece of cartilage may be removed. Ears are positioned closer to head and sutures are used to close the incision. A dressing is placed over the ears. The child may feel some pain after recovering from anesthesia, but safe painkillers are prescribed by the surgeon. Recovery from otoplasty takes 10-15 days and results are shapely and cosmetically superior looking ears.

He has practiced in Orlando for more than 23 years and has performed numerous otoplasty procedures on both children and adults alike.
