Ear Surgery Before & After Case 478

This patient sought ear surgery in San Antonio with the goal of achieving a more balanced and natural ear contour. They felt their ears were more prominent than they preferred and were interested in a subtle, lasting change. As an active and healthy individual, the patient wanted results that would not interfere with their lifestyle.

The procedure involved placing sutures behind the ear to create an antihelical fold and performing a conchal bowl setback. This approach allowed for re-shaping the ear closer to the head while minimizing visible scarring. The patient tolerated the surgery well and followed post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and comfort.

After recovery, the patient reported satisfaction with the appearance of their ears. The new ear shape met their expectations and aligned with their facial features, enabling them to feel more at ease in various social and professional settings.
