Otoplasty Beverly Hills

Restore facial balance with otoplasty in Beverly Hills by Dr. Behrooz Torkian, our double board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing exclusively in facial surgery. He corrects prominent, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears with refined, natural-looking precision.

What Is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a highly customized facial plastic surgery that improves the shape, position, proportion, or symmetry of the ears. Commonly known as ear pinning surgery, otoplasty can create better balance between the ears and the surrounding facial features while preserving a natural appearance. Dr. Torkian uses a meticulous, three-dimensional approach to reshape ear cartilage with precision, focusing on subtle refinements that enhance overall facial harmony rather than creating an overcorrected or artificial result.

What Concerns Does Otoplasty Address?

Prominent ears that project excessively from the head
Ear asymmetry affecting facial balance
Misshapen or underdeveloped ear cartilage
Congenital ear irregularities or deformities
Dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery results
Torn, stretched, or elongated earlobes
Enlarged piercing holes or unwanted gauges

Am I a Good Candidate for Otoplasty?

You may be a good candidate for otoplasty in Beverly Hills if you are bothered by ears that appear overly prominent, asymmetrical, misshapen, or disproportionate to your facial features. Otoplasty can also address stretched earlobes, elongated piercing holes, or cosmetic concerns resulting from prior ear surgery or trauma. Many patients pursue treatment to create better facial harmony and feel more confident wearing certain hairstyles or accessories.

The ideal candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and be free from uncontrolled medical conditions that could impair healing. During your consultation, Dr. Torkian carefully evaluates your ear anatomy, cartilage structure, skin quality, and facial proportions to determine whether surgical correction can safely achieve balanced results.

Recovery After Otoplasty

Recovery after otoplasty is typically straightforward, with most patients experiencing mild to moderate swelling, tightness, bruising, and temporary tenderness around the ears during the first few days. A protective dressing or headband is worn immediately after surgery to support healing cartilage and maintain the new ear position. Most visible swelling improves within two to three weeks, while subtle residual swelling continues resolving over the following months.

Otoplasty Recovery Timeline

Day 1-3: Mild discomfort, swelling, pressure, and tightness managed with medication
Week 1: Surgical dressings removed and replaced with a supportive headband
Week 2: Most bruising and noticeable swelling significantly improved for many patients
Week 2-3: Return to work, school, and most non-strenuous daily activities
Week 4-6: Continued softening of tissues as ears settle into their new position
Months 2-3: Residual swelling resolves, and final contours become more refined
Long-Term: Permanent improvement in ear position, symmetry, and facial harmony

What Are the Benefits of Otoplasty?

Otoplasty in Beverly Hills can provide both cosmetic and emotional benefits by improving ear position, contour, and symmetry while creating better facial balance. Benefits include:

Ears that appear more proportionate to surrounding facial features
Improved facial harmony from multiple angles
Correction of prominent or protruding ears
Enhanced symmetry between both ears
More refined ear contours and definition
Increased confidence in social and professional settings
Greater comfort wearing hairstyles that expose the ears
Natural-looking results customized to your anatomy
Minimal visible scarring due to discreet incision placement

Comprehensive Otoplasty Consultation

Your otoplasty consultation begins with an in-depth discussion of your concerns, aesthetic goals, medical history, and any prior ear procedures or injuries. Dr. Torkian carefully evaluates your ears from multiple angles, assessing cartilage shape, projection, and symmetry, as well as skin quality and how your ears relate to your cheeks, jawline, and overall facial proportions. He explains the structural causes of ear prominence or asymmetry in clear, easy-to-understand terms so you fully understand your anatomy and treatment options.

Using a meticulous three-dimensional approach, Dr. Torkian develops a customized surgical plan tailored to your unique facial structure and desired outcome. You will also review incision placement, recovery expectations, healing timelines, potential risks, and the subtle refinements that can create more balanced, natural-looking results.

Otoplasty Frequently Asked Questions

Will my ears look natural after otoplasty?

Yes. Dr. Torkian takes a highly customized approach to otoplasty in Beverly Hills, focusing on subtle structural refinements that preserve natural ear contours and facial balance. Rather than pinning the ears flat against the head, he carefully reshapes and repositions cartilage to create proportionate, refined results that complement your overall facial anatomy.

How visible are otoplasty scars?

Otoplasty incisions are typically placed discreetly behind the ears, where they are well hidden within the natural folds of the skin. As healing progresses, scars generally continue fading over several months. Dr. Torkian uses meticulous surgical techniques to minimize visible scarring while maintaining long-term structural support and precise contouring.

Can otoplasty fix ear asymmetry?

Yes. Otoplasty can improve noticeable asymmetry involving ear projection, shape, height, or contour. Because no two ears are naturally identical, Dr. Torkian carefully evaluates each ear independently during surgical planning. His three-dimensional approach allows him to make millimeter-level adjustments that create symmetry while maintaining a balanced appearance.

Is otoplasty only for children?

No. While otoplasty is commonly performed in children after the ears finish developing, many adults also choose ear surgery later in life. Adult patients often seek treatment for longstanding concerns about prominent ears, asymmetry, stretched earlobes, or dissatisfaction with previous surgery results. Healthy adults with realistic expectations are often excellent candidates.
