What is ear surgery (otoplasty)?
Otoplasty, or ear surgery in Nashville, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes, repositions, or reduces the size of the ears to create a more balanced facial appearance.
Am I a good candidate for ear surgery in Nashville?
Good candidates are healthy individuals with fully developed ears—typically age 5 and up—who are bothered by prominent, misshapen, or asymmetrical ears. A consultation with Dr. Bryant will confirm if otoplasty is right for you.
What does the recovery process involve?
After your ear surgery in Nashville, you’ll wear a protective headband for about one week. Mild discomfort and swelling resolve within 1–2 weeks, and most patients return to normal activities after 7–10 days.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are placed discreetly behind the ear, resulting in inconspicuous scars that fade over time. Dr. Bryant’s meticulous technique minimizes scarring for a natural outcome.
How long do otoplasty results last?
Results from ear surgery in Nashville are permanent. Once the cartilage has been reshaped and healed, your new ear position and contour remain stable for life.
Are there any risks associated with otoplasty?
As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, or the need for minor revision. Dr. Bryant takes every precaution to ensure safety and will review all potential complications during your consultation.
