Otoplasty #49515

This is a primary otoplasty case performed on a male patient in his mid-forties. The after photo is taken at the 12-month mark, so what you're seeing reflects fully matured healing. In the before photo, both ears sit noticeably wide of the head. In the after photo, the ears are positioned closer to the skull on both sides, with the change visible even through the patient's hair. The profile of the ear contour reads as cleaner at this distance. Otoplasty in adult male patients follows the same surgical principles as in younger patients; healing timelines can differ, but 12 months gives a reliable picture of the long-term outcome. Individual results vary. Shown with the patient's written consent.
