Otoplasty Candidates
People whose ears have been damaged or have congenital anomalies can opt for reconstructive surgery. Otoplasty can be performed to address large ears and ears that noticeably protrude from the head.
Otoplasty can be performed on children with large ears that may draw unwanted attention. Children will need to be around five-six years old before they can undergo otoplasty in order to allow the ears to fully grow. It is the earliest age plastic surgeons recommend for performing otoplasty. Older individuals may undergo this treatment process at any time.
Ears and the way in which they appear can have a strong effect on a person’s self – esteem. When children have prominent ears they often are subject to teasing at school. Adults also suffer from this problem and feel the negative effects on their confidence. Ear pinning can be the solution to help self-confidence soar.
Your Otoplasty will be performed by Dr. John Farella in Westchester County, NY.

Otoplasty with Dr. Farella
Dr. Farella brings his many years of experience and pinpoint accuracy to help you regain your confidence with a beautiful work to restore normal ear shape. Through an incision made on the back of the ear, surgical techniques, such as, cartilage removal and reshaping can be performed to restore normal ear shape. Otoplasty is commonly done on children once the ear is fully developed (ages 4-6). However, it is also performed on adults.
Recovery
Following the Otoplasty procedure, our licensed registered nurse will bring you to our private recovery room. The ears are usually bandaged for several days, after dressing is removed. A headband is used for two months while you sleep. The initial dressing change is done by the doctor. This procedure can be done on one or both ears, as needed.
