OTOPLASTY (EAR ALTERATION)

Otoplasty, also known as “ear pinning”, can have potentially life-altering results. It sets prominent ears closer to your head and can reduce the size of your ears. It can save a child from useless childhood bullying. It can improve an adult’s self-esteem.

When it comes to otoplasty, conventional wisdom is “the earlier the better” once the cartilages are ready. Dr. Dan Jacob usually performs this surgery on children around five or six years of age but adults also may benefit. With this surgery, it is not only possible to “pin back” ears, but Dr. Jacob can also reshape them, reduce their size, or make them more symmetrical and in balance with your other facial features.

Dr. Jacob, a double board-certified fellow of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology / Head and Neck Surgery, has performed surgery exclusively on the face, neck, and head for the past 25 years in the metro New Orleans area. For adults, he can perform otoplasty in his Metairie, Louisiana office, saving you costly hospital expenses.
