Ear and Earlobe Reduction
Ear and Earlobe Reduction
Otoplasty is an outpatient surgical procedure that effectively corrects “outstanding” or protruding ears. The procedure moves the protruding portions of the ear closer to the side of the head giving patients a more aesthetic and sophisticated look. The incision is hidden behind the ears.
If you are bothered by earlobes that are too long or stretched, consider an earlobe reduction surgery with Dr. Hopping.
With today’s hairstyles, otoplasty has become an increasingly popular surgery for men and women.
Recovery
Dr. Hopping performs otoplasty in a 2-hour procedure under local anesthesia in our AAAHC-certified surgical suite. For the following week, patients wear a scarf or tennis headband at home and at night. Many patients return to work within 5 days.

Expected Results
Dr. Hopping has published his otoplasty techniques demonstrating the natural, more sophisticated look achieved with this procedure. The ears sit closer to the side of the head and appear smaller and less protruding.
“Otoplasty has a very high satisfaction rate,” says Dr. Hopping. “Patients are thrilled with the results, which should last a lifetime. By the way, I have had this procedure and am still pleased with the improvement,” says Dr. Hopping.
