How Otoplasty Can Enhance Your Appearance

Otoplasty, also known as ear refinement surgery, corrects deformities or prominence in the ears by reshaping and repositioning them closer to the head. Dr. Macdonald specializes in achieving natural-looking results, helping patients feel more confident and at ease with their appearance.

Whether you're an adult or a teen, this surgery can:

Pin back prominent ears to lie flush with the head.
Reshape misshapen or flat areas of the ear.
Enhance overall facial balance and aesthetics.
