What Does Otoplasty Involve?

Cosmetic otoplasty is for children or adults who feel that their ears stick out too far or are misshapen in some way. The surgery involves Dr. Gowen putting sutures into the cartilage in key places in the ear to help reshape it and bring it close to the head. Dr. Gowen also performs ear reconstruction after damage from trauma or cancers that have been removed.

Earlobe repair is an option for people who are unhappy with their earlobes after earrings tearing or stretching the tissue there.

Other Facial Procedures for Bryn Mawr, Newtown Square, and Philadelphia

Other surgical procedures that impact the face include rhinoplasty, which alters the size and shape of the nose, and a facelift, which tightens sagging and loose skin on the lower half of the face. Both of these can be paired with the other procedures noted here, as well as injectable, chemical, or laser treatments that alter the texture or appearance of the skin.

In addition to surgery, patients who want to add contour to the cheek area of their face may also decide to use temporary dermal fillers. Some fillers are designed specifically to restore lost volume to hollow or sunken areas of the face, with results that can last anywhere from several months to more than one year, depending on the type of filler used.
