What Is Ear Surgery?
Sometimes, small changes can make a big difference in how you feel about your appearance. Ear surgery, also called otoplasty, focuses on reshaping or repairing the ears to create a more balanced and natural look. At Plastic Surgery Institute of Dayton, Inc., we specialize in ear pinning and earlobe repair. Ear pinning surgery adjusts ears that stick out too far, creating a closer and more symmetrical appearance. Earlobe surgery restores damaged or stretched earlobes, addressing concerns caused by heavy earrings, tears, or other injuries. Contact Plastic Surgery Institute of Dayton, Inc. in Centerville, OH to schedule a consultation with our providers, and learn more about surgical ear reshaping. We look forward to helping you gain a look you can be proud of and reclaim your confidence.
How Is Ear Surgery Performed?
Each procedure is tailored to the patient's unique needs, ensuring natural-looking results. Ear pinning surgery involves making small incisions behind the ears. Through these incisions, the cartilage is reshaped and secured closer to the head using sutures. This technique reduces the prominence of the ears while maintaining a natural contour. The incisions are placed in discreet areas to minimize visible scarring. For earlobe repair, the technique depends on the extent of the damage. Torn earlobes are stitched together using fine sutures to close the split. In cases of stretched earlobes, excess tissue is removed, and the earlobe is reshaped to create a more proportional appearance. Both procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring comfort throughout the process. Our surgical team can guide you on what to expect after ear surgery. Most patients experience a smooth recovery and can return to normal activities within a few days. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to help you heal quickly and achieve the best results.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Dayton, Inc. Reviews
Dr. Fox and his staff are amazing! They are always kind, courteous and professional! I highly recommend!
Good people very caring , I don’t have family here in Ohio so having a staff that cares means a lot to this southern gal !
Dr. Hedrick carefully closed a fairly large hole left by removal of a deep melanoma removed from mom's temple by another excellent surgeon, Dr. Tuttle from Kettering oncology. Very happy with his work at only the third day following surgery. Minimal drainage, almost no swelling, and very light, almost unnoticeable bruising. 0 pain unless I press to hard in cleaning as directed. Far better than I was expecting. Personally, I find him very personable with a good sense of humor that is appropriately applied in timely fashion. He thoughtfully explains each step and thoroughly answers any questions. I can't imagine what else we could expect beyond what he has provided. Thank you!
Amazing group.
Dr. Hedrick was great! He got me into the office quickly, took the time to explain everything and alleviated all my concerns about the size of the scar needed to remove my skin cancer.
