How is ear surgery (otoplasty) performed?Cosmetic ear surgery is performed through an incision in the back of the ear that allows the plastic surgeon to remove cartilage until the ear can be bent back toward the head. Permanent stitches may be used to help keep the ear in place.

Another technique involves simply folding the cartilage onto itself to bring the ear closer to the head.

Cosmetic ear surgery is usually an outpatient procedure at Plástica Tijuana Surgery. General anesthesia is recommended for young children. For older children or adults, a local anesthesia with sedation may be used.
