What Is Ear Surgery?
Protruding, misshapen, or oversized ears can affect self-confidence, especially in children. Ear reshaping surgery, or otoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that balances ear size and shape. It has helped many feel more comfortable in their own skin. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL, ear surgery can give you the confidence to show your face from any angle. Contact us to schedule an appointment if you or your child are concerned about ear appearance.
How Is Ear Surgery Performed?
Ear reshaping surgery is suitable for all ages, though commonly performed on children as young as six. If you are self-conscious about protruding or misshapen ears, otoplasty can help. The procedure, done under general anesthesia, IV sedation, or local anesthesia, involves making an incision behind or within the ear. Cartilage is reshaped for a more natural look, and both ears are adjusted for symmetry. Incisions are then sutured and bandaged for protection.

Ear Surgery Reviews
Had a great experience with Dr. butler. He repaired my gauged ears and did an amazing job. The procedure itself only took 30 minutes and my recovery was only 6 weeks before I was able to have them pierced and looking back to normal! The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming, 10/10 would recommend gulf coast plastic surgery!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ear surgery safe for children?
Yes, ear surgery is safe for children when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon. Otoplasty is commonly done on children as young as five to seven years old, as the ears are typically fully developed by this age. During a consultation, our trained team can perform an assessment and determine the best approach for their needs.
Will there be visible scars after ear surgery?
Because the incisions are made behind the ears or within natural folds, any scars from otoplasty are usually well-hidden and fade significantly over time. Our staff at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery takes care to minimize scarring and create a natural, balanced look. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities throughout the entire process.
Can ear surgery fix only one ear if needed?
Yes, otoplasty can be performed on one or both ears, depending on your unique needs. During an appointment in Pensacola, FL, our professionals will assess your concerns and recommend a treatment plan tailored to achieve symmetry and balance. We will work closely with you to ensure the results meet your expectations.
