If you, or a loved one, are considering otoplasty in Indianapolis or Carmel, Dr. Janet Turkle can help. It is common for those with protruding, large, or misshapen ears to feel this detracts from their appearance. This may lead to teasing in young children which results in a lack of self-confidence. Older patients that have dealt with this for their entire lives may also reach a point when they decide to undergo corrective surgery. Cosmetic surgery of the ear, or otoplasty, can improve the position and shape of the ears. It is most commonly performed for large and protruding ears which is a condition known as prominauris but is also occasionally done to correct malformations that may have occurred due to an injury.
Otoplasty is a relatively quick outpatient surgery that leads to more optimal balance and proportion of the ears and face

Frequently Asked Questions
Results are seen immediately! Of course, it takes time for the incisions to heal completely but the new shape and position of the ears is apparent right away and only gets better as bruising and swelling resolves.
Most bruises resolve within 10-14 days or can at least be easily covered with make-up.
You will have a dressing in place for a couple days after surgery. This is very important in optimizing healing and preventing injury. Keeping your head elevated also dramatically helps in accelerating your healing.
The incisions will be hidden in the crease behind the ear.
This surgery can be performed on patients as young as 5 years old and through adulthood.
You can swim in three weeks or when your wounds are completely healed.
You can start walking immediately.
You can begin exercise and/or lifting in two weeks.
Additionally, you should ensure that you avoid all contact sports or rigorous activities for several weeks to avoid disruption of the healing process.
Many patients wait to go back to work or school until the head-dressing and bandages are removed. However in general patients are feeling well enough to go back much sooner.
