Otoplasty

What are risks and complications of cosmetic ear surgery?

Your surgery will be performed safely and with care in order to obtain the best possible results. The following complications have been reported in the medical literature. This list is not meant to be inclusive of every possible complication. It is here for your information only, not to frighten you, but to make you aware and more knowledgeable concerning this surgical procedure.

  4. Permanent or temporary numbness of the skin of the ear or face.
  5. Scar or keloid formation, which is an overgrowth of scar tissue.
  6. Prolonged pain, impaired healing, and the need for hospitalization.
  7. Narrowing of the external ear canal.
  8. Suture extrusion. When permanent sutures are used to maintain shape, they may become evident through the skin and may eventually require removal.
  9. If the surgery is being done because of a tumor, there can be recurrence of the tumor and the need for additional surgery or other therapeutic modalities including radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

What happens before surgery?
