Your ear sugery in Toronto / Mississauga will be customized according to the look you want. Usually, your surgeon will make a small incision in the back of the ear, which allows the surgeon to sculpt the cartilage and bend it back towards the head. Occasionally, a larger piece of cartilage will be removed for a more natural result. Your surgeon will then stitch up the ear to help maintain your new shape. Another technique involves using stitches to fold the cartilage back on itself rather than removing it.
Even when only one ear appears to protrude, cosmetic surgery is usually performed on both ears for a better balance. In most cases, ear surgery will leave a faint scar in the back of the ear that will fade with time. The surgery typically takes about two hours, although complicated procedures may take longer.
