Before
After
Otoplasty, or ear surgery, reshapes and repositions the ear cartilage so the ears sit in a natural, balanced position closer to the head. Dr. Kieliszak treats prominent or protruding ears, misshapen cartilage, and asymmetry between the two ears.
Incisions are placed behind the ear, hidden in the natural crease, so scars are very well concealed. The procedure is outpatient, and a supportive headband or dressing is worn briefly during early healing.
Dr. Kieliszak treats both children and adults. For children, ear cartilage is usually developed enough by about age 5, often before or during school years when prominent ears can draw teasing. Adults choose otoplasty just as often, for lifelong self-consciousness about ear shape.
Good candidates are children around age 5 or older, once ear growth is largely complete, and adults who feel self-conscious about prominent or uneven ears. A consultation confirms candidacy and the right approach for each patient.
Ear position and shape shift the whole balance of the face, particularly for children who may feel self-conscious about it. Dr. Kieliszak is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who focuses on the face, not a general or body surgeon. For otoplasty, that focus matters.
He treats both children and adults with an individualized approach for each. Incisions are hidden behind the ear, and his priority is a natural, balanced result, never an over-pinned or artificial look.
