During Surgery
During ear surgery, Dr. Marosan carefully reshapes your ears to achieve the desired look. The procedure typically begins with small incisions made behind the ear to access the cartilage. Dr. Marosan sculpts and repositions the cartilage to reduce prominence or correct asymmetry. The incisions are finally closed, leaving minimal visible scarring. The surgery is usually performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on your needs. You’ll be able to return home the same day with detailed instructions provided by Dr. Marosan.
After Surgery
After your ear surgery (otoplasty), you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Dr. Marosan will provide pain management instructions and a protective bandage to wear for the first few days. Most patients return to normal activities within a week, although you should avoid strenuous activities for about a month. The initial results are visible as soon as the bandages are removed, with the final shape settling over the next few weeks. Dr. Marosan will monitor your recovery closely to ensure optimal results.
