If you have ever felt uncomfortable with the appearance of your ears—whether they stick out too far, appear uneven, or seem too large—ear correction surgery may be the right solution for you. We understand that even small changes can make a big impact on how you feel about your appearance.

Whether you are considering speaking with a facial plastic surgeon for yourself or your child, otoplasty in Lee’s Summit offers a subtle but powerful way to restore harmony to your facial features and gain confidence.

What Is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty, also known as cosmetic ear surgery, is a safe and effective procedure designed to reshape or reposition your ears. If they protrude, appear misshapen, or seem noticeably asymmetrical, this procedure can help you achieve a more natural, balanced look.

Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Victor Perez, has over 15 years of experience performing ear reshaping surgery with precision and care. He can gently reshape your ears, reposition them closer to your head, or repair damage caused by injury or a congenital condition.

Although surgeons commonly perform otoplasty on children and teens, many adults in Lee’s Summit also choose to undergo this procedure to address lifelong concerns. Patients of all ages can benefit from restored confidence in their appearance.

Is Otoplasty Right for You?

If you are exploring otoplasty, you may be wondering if you are a suitable candidate. Patients in Lee’s Summit may be good candidates for otoplasty if they experience one or more of the following:

  • Uneven ear size or shape
  • Disproportionately large ears
  • Ear damage from past injuries or surgeries
  • Ears that stick out more than you would like
  • Congenital ear conditions, such as shell ear, lop ear, or cupped ear

During your private consultation for cosmetic ear surgery, Dr. Perez evaluates your ear structure, listens to your concerns, and recommends a treatment plan tailored to your goals.

What To Expect During Your Procedure

Your cosmetic ear surgery at Renue Aesthetic Surgery begins with a one-on-one consultation where Dr. Perez will present your options, explain the surgical plan, and ensure you are informed and confident with your decision.

Your otoplasty procedure will be performed under general anesthesia at an accredited outpatient surgery center near Lee’s Summit, with anesthesia provided by a board-certified anesthesiologist and a nurse anesthetist. Most surgeries take one to two hours, depending on your treatment plan.

The incisions are usually made behind your ears or in their natural folds, keeping scarring discreet. From there, Dr. Perez reshapes or repositions your ears to create a more symmetrical and flattering look.

What Is Recovery Like?

Lee’s Summit patients will return home the same day after their ear correction surgery with detailed aftercare instructions and a soft dressing or protective headband to keep their ears in place and promote healing.

Most people return to light daily activities within about a week. While you will need to avoid strenuous activity and contact sports for a few weeks, any swelling or mild discomfort should fade quickly with proper care and prescribed medication.

We will schedule follow-up visits to ensure you are healing smoothly and satisfied with your results.
