Ear Surgery Before and after photos in Ann Arbor, MI, Patient 371

This 7-year-old Michigan otoplasty patient was getting teased at school because of her prominent ears. She was wearing her hair down as much as possible to avoid ridicule at school. The patient’s mother brought her to see Ann Arbor plastic surgeon Dr. Malhotra for an ear pinning procedure.

Dr. Malhotra examined the young girl and noted that she had a very common presentation with a protruding cup portion of the ear and the underdevelopment of one of the folds of the ear. The patient underwent a short procedure to reshape her ears. The day after surgery, her dressing was removed, and the child immediately liked her new appearance. She recovered very quickly, wearing a headband for two weeks at night to protect her ears.

Keep in mind that each patient is unique and results may not occur for all patients. These photos are of an actual patient of our practice who has provided consent to display their pictures online.
