Chelsea is a very compassionate nurse. I'm very sensitive to pain and it helps when the Nurse is caring.

Really like Dr. Debbie. She is very experienced, informative and never pushes additional treatments than what I need. Didn't have a great experience in the past with another provider. Great results, just what I was looking for. Natural and subtle

Dr. Ford was extremely thorough with explaining the procedure and what to expect. Her bedside manner was warm and compassionate. I felt like I was sitting with a best friend. I never felt rushed or dismissed. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon.

My confidence and sel esteem has changed drastically. I am so comfortable with my body now and truly happy with my results . Dr. Rachel Ford and her staff went above and beyond to meet my expectations. My overall experience was a blessed one. Having met some amazing people at this center, has changed my life. Thank you Dr. Ford!

Dr Debbie explained throughly all about what to expect, in such a comfortable matter. She took her time, did not rush. The results are looking great. Along with Chelsea being very informative and helpful, they both are super key members on your team.

Everything was such a pleasant experience, from the receptionist, my surgeon, the patient coordinator, the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and all the support staff.

From the staff to the whole experience. Everyone made me feel safe, and comfortable. The patient care was just top notch.

Office consultation. Very professional and thorough with questions regarding procedure and after care.

Dr. Hill explained my options and the expected outcome of each option. He never rushed an appointment and I felt comfortable asking questions and stating concerns. Everyone I had contact with was very professional, gave good information, and was friendy. I never felt like I was bothering them with my questions.

Everyone in the office is very friendly and helpful, they greet you with a smile and are happy to serve their clients. Office is very clean and very modern and beautiful, before and after pics were very helpful. I will continue to go to this office for all my cosmetic services.

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.
