Doctor’s Comments:
Setback Otoplasty: Conchal reduction and antihelical fold contouring. Results are one month post-op.

This patient disliked the size/height of her ears. They were taller than average, at about 65mm. I performed a Macrotia Reduction surgery to decrease the height of her ears by about 6-7 mm. She loves this natural result. Scars are virtually invisible.

This young patient was self-conscious about her ears. Results are 3 months after a setback otoplasty done under local anesthesia and oral sedation in our office-based surgical suite, Capek Surgical Arts.

Just 10 days after repair! This patient had 2 earlobe tears from piercings that made his earlobe look shredded. I performed a repair that included some precise and delicate contouring and trimming to restore a natural shape. ⁠

The scars will improve over a one-year period- they’re very fresh in this photo. He can re-pierce the lobe after 2 months, but I recommend going through an unscarred area to minimize the chance of it tearing again. ⁠

He is loving the result!

This patient did not like how her ear stuck out. To achieve her aesthetic goals, I performed an ear setback. In this procedure, I remove cartilage and skin from the back side of the ear. By removing a piece and suturing from the back, I can achieve dramatic results with an invisible scar in the back crease of the ear.⁠
