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.
