Otoplasty

Fortunately, significant complications from aesthetic ear surgery are infrequent. Every year, many thousands of people undergo successful surgery, experience no major problems and are pleased with the results.

Some of the potential complications that may be discussed with you include hematoma (an accumulation of blood under the skin that may require removal), infection and reactions to anesthesia. There is a possibility of a temporary decrease in sensation of the ear or impaired hearing.
