Ear Reshaping (Otoplasty)

Ear reshaping surgery, or otoplasty, is designed to correct prominent, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears—creating natural balance and proportion with the rest of the face. This procedure can be performed on both children and adults, offering lasting improvement to appearance and confidence.

At our New York offices in Manhattan and Great Neck, Dr. Thomas Loeb, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performs otoplasty with precision and artistry. His approach ensures subtle, symmetrical results that bring the ears into harmony with facial features—without an overcorrected or “pinned” look.

Below are examples of ear reshaping before and after photos featuring real patients who underwent otoplasty with Dr. Loeb. Each transformation demonstrates careful attention to proportion, symmetry, and natural positioning—enhancing the patient’s overall facial harmony.

Whether addressing overly prominent ears, asymmetry, or post-traumatic irregularities, Dr. Loeb tailors each procedure to the individual’s anatomy. His goal is to create balanced, natural contours that restore both confidence and comfort in appearance.

What to Expect When You Choose Dr. Loeb

Otoplasty is a straightforward yet transformative procedure that can make a lifelong difference in how a person feels about their appearance. By reshaping the ear cartilage and adjusting its position closer to the head, Dr. Loeb achieves beautifully proportionate results that appear completely natural.

Ideal Candidates for Ear Reshaping:

  • Prominent, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears
  • Ears that stick out too far from the head
  • Dissatisfaction with ear shape after injury or previous surgery
  • Children (typically age 5 and older) or adults in good health

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery from ear reshaping surgery is typically smooth and well-tolerated. Most patients return to work or school within 5–7 days, with any mild swelling or bruising subsiding over the following week. A soft head dressing may be worn briefly to protect the ears and maintain their new position as they heal.

Results are long-lasting, and once healed, scars are discreetly hidden behind the ears.
