Dr. Ford, as well as everyone involved with my journey, were highly professional and genuinely took the steps to make me feel comfortable and confident with the entire process. I was highly impressed how everyone went above and beyond to make sure my individual situation went as smoothly as possible.

Dr. Debbie is very knowledgeable. She answered all my questions without rushing. She explained everything thoroughly.

Dr. Debbie is amazing. I appreciate how gentle she is and that she communicates through every step of the way.

I had known of two people who used this doctor so that helps with my decision. We have had other medical issues come up so I might have to delay.

Everything about my surgical experience was fantastic. Dr. Ford was amazing from consultation through my recent 4 month post op follow up. I absolutely adore her bedside manner and attention to detail. She’s very thorough and my results are exceptional. I highly recommend her to everyone.

I ''ve had Dr. Eichenberg do surgery before - just wish I had gone to him instead of Life Style a few years ago. TV was flooded with ads!!!!

Dr. Ford was kind, professional, on-time, knowledgeable, and helpful. I really appreciate the time she took to answer all of my questions and advise me on what she thought would work best for me.

Everyone was very professional and friendly. It was the best experience I’ve had at a plastic surgeons office. Everything was clean and professional.

The staff did everything to make the process easy to understand and were very helpful. I always got right in for my appointments and everyone took their time to make sure I got all my questions answered.

The office is always clean and the staff are all professional and personable! Dr E explains what is needed and listens to what you want! Vinny is just great

Otoplasty FAQ

How long does ear reshaping surgery take?

Most otoplasty procedures take 1-2 hours under local or general anesthesia if needed. Our precise surgical techniques ensure efficient and careful reshaping of ear cartilage to achieve optimal results.

What is the typical recovery time?

Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. A protective headband is worn initially to support healing. Full recovery occurs over 4-6 weeks. During this time, our team provides comprehensive follow-up care to ensure optimal healing and the best possible outcome.

Will there be visible scars?

Our surgeons use precise techniques to minimize scarring. Incisions are typically made behind the ear in natural creases, making scars nearly invisible as they heal. We also provide advanced scar management protocols to further reduce the appearance of any surgical marks.

How long do otoplasty results last?

Results are permanent. The reshaped ear structure remains stable throughout life, providing lasting aesthetic improvement and increased confidence. The cartilage is carefully repositioned and secured to maintain its new shape, offering a lifelong solution to ear-related concerns.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia ensures comfort during surgery, and any post-procedure soreness is usually mild and short-lived. Our comprehensive pain management approach includes personalized medication and care instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery.

Can otoplasty be combined with other procedures?

Yes, ear reshaping can be combined with other facial procedures. We’ll discuss comprehensive treatment options during your consultation. Our surgeons can help you develop a holistic approach to achieving your aesthetic goals.

How soon will I see results?

You’ll notice immediate changes after surgery. Final results develop over 2-3 months as swelling subsides and tissues fully settle. Our team provides detailed guidance on post-operative care to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
