Plastic Surgery Associates of Lafayette offers Ear Surgery to patients in Alexandria, Lake Charles, New Iberia, Lafayette, Louisiana, and surrounding areas.
Ear Surgery in New Iberia is also known as Otoplasty, a cosmetic procedure designed to correct ears that protrude or are disfigured. Ear Surgery can help to correct the shape, position, and proportion of the ear and can be performed on children and adults.
Prior to undergoing Ear Surgery in Lafayette, patients will be given a general or local anesthetic as determined by their surgeon. A small incision is then made in the fold along the back of the ear and the skin and cartilage are manipulated until the desired outcome is attained. Even when only one ear needs to be reshaped, both ears may require surgery to achieve symmetry.
Since Ear Surgery in New Iberia most frequently involves younger patients, the risks associated with the procedure need to be thoroughly considered. Our expert surgeons will go over the risks with you in great detail during your initial consultation. The primary risk with Ear Surgery comes from the use of Anesthesia, and patients will be monitored very closely during the procedure. It is important to note that hearing will not be impacted at all following Ear Surgery, and any other risks associated with the procedure are minimal.
