At Regency Specialties in Phoenix, patients can undergo ear surgery to reshape, resize, or reposition their ears for a more balanced and natural appearance. Whether addressing prominent ears, asymmetry, or damage from injury, our surgeons tailor each procedure to the patient’s unique anatomy and goals. With advanced techniques, discreet incisions, and a focus on aesthetic harmony, we help people achieve results that enhance their appearance and confidence.
Facial implants typically for the cheeks, chin, and jaw are solid materials (mostly made of soft silicone) that are compatible with human tissues and designed to provide improved balance to the face, with natural-looking results. Facial implant surgery can be performed alone or alongside other facial procedures to enhance results.
Ear pinning is a type of otoplasty that brings the ears closer to the head to create a more balanced, natural appearance. This technique is often used for individuals with protruding ears, helping to reduce their prominence without altering the ear’s overall shape. By making small incisions behind the ear, the surgeon can adjust the position and secure the ears with sutures. The goal is to maintain symmetry while achieving a result that blends seamlessly with the patient’s facial features. Ear pinning is commonly performed during childhood but is also effective for adults seeking cosmetic correction.
Ear resizing focuses on adjusting the overall size of the outer ear to better align with a person’s facial proportions. This procedure may involve reducing the height or width of the ear by removing excess tissue and sculpting the remaining structure. It is often requested by individuals who feel their ears are too large or asymmetrical. The surgeon carefully tailors the changes to preserve the ear’s natural contours while improving harmony with the rest of the face. Ear resizing can be performed alone or combined with other otoplasty techniques.
Ear reshaping addresses deformities or irregularities in the ear shape by modifying the ear cartilage. Whether correcting folded edges, cupped ears, or other contour issues, this procedure aims to create a more defined and proportional ear structure. It involves sculpting or repositioning cartilage to restore a more typical ear appearance. This type of otoplasty is often personalized based on the patient’s unique anatomy. Ear reshaping may be performed on one or both ears to achieve balance.
Earlobe repair corrects damage caused by torn earlobes, stretching, or other trauma, often from heavy earrings or accidental injury. The procedure involves removing damaged tissue and suturing the lobe to restore its original shape. It is a straightforward treatment typically done under local anesthesia. While many patients seek repair for cosmetic reasons, it also restores the function of the earlobe, making it possible to wear earrings again. Earlobe repair is a common and effective solution for partial and complete tears.

Otoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and area of concern. The procedure takes approximately two hours. The details of ear surgery depend on what type of operation is performed—ear pinning, resizing, reshaping, or earlobe repair.
The location and length of incisions also depend on the specific condition of the ears, but patients should be aware that the incisions can be made in the inner creases or on the back of the ears.
After making the incisions, the surgeon gains access to the underlying structures of the ear. Depending on the goals of the procedure, they may reshape the ear by repositioning folds or removing excess cartilage that causes the ears to protrude. Precision is key to maintaining symmetry and balance in ear resizing or reshaping. The internal sutures are carefully placed to secure the new shape and ensure long-lasting results. Care is taken to avoid interfering with the ear canal, preserving its function and comfort.
Once the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions are closed with sutures. Our experienced providers minimize visible scarring, especially when the incisions are hidden behind the ear or within natural folds. A soft dressing is then applied to protect the area and support the new shape during the initial healing phase. The surgeon will provide specific instructions for aftercare to ensure proper recovery. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and suture removal if needed.
Scarring after an otoplasty procedure is typically minimal and well-hidden. Our surgeon places incisions behind the ears or within natural creases, making any resulting scars difficult to detect. Over time, these scars tend to fade significantly, becoming even less noticeable. With proper care and healing, most patients find that the scars are barely visible. For many, the improved ear shape far outweighs the concern of minor scarring.

Otoplasty can be an option for children and adult patients who are unhappy with the shape, size, or position of their ears. Ideal candidates have fully developed ears. However, this surgery can be performed on children as young as five or six. Many patients seek surgery later in life for cosmetic reasons. Individuals with overly large ears, or those whose ears stick out prominently, often feel self-conscious or receive unwanted attention, which can impact their self-esteem.
The procedure is also suitable for correcting a birth defect or repairing damage caused by trauma. In rare cases, a skin graft may be required to reconstruct missing or severely damaged ear tissue, depending on how the condition affects the surrounding area.
Cosmetic ear surgery can enhance the appearance of asymmetrical or excessively large ears. By reshaping or resizing the ear structure, surgeons can bring the ears into better proportion with the rest of the face. Whether performed on one or both ears, the changes create a more harmonious look without appearing unnatural. This improvement is particularly helpful for individuals who have long been dissatisfied with their ear shape. The results are tailored to the individual’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Otoplasty helps bring the ears into a more natural shape, creating harmony between facial features. This adjustment can reduce aesthetic concerns and improve overall facial balance for individuals with prominent or asymmetrical ears. The change may be subtle, but it often has a significant visual impact. A well-proportioned ear can complement the face without drawing unnecessary attention. This benefit makes ear surgery popular for those looking to refine their appearance.
Correcting protruding ears or noticeable ear deformities can have a powerful impact on self-esteem. Many patients choose cosmetic ear surgery to reduce self-consciousness that may have existed since childhood or developed later in life. After surgery, patients often feel more comfortable wearing short hairstyles or participating in social situations. The positive emotional effect is usually as meaningful as the physical results. For many, this renewed confidence is one of the most valued outcomes of the procedure.
Each otoplasty performed by our doctors is carefully planned to minimize visible scarring. Incisions are typically made behind the ears or within natural creases, where they are well concealed. Over a few weeks, the scars fade and become even less noticeable. This discreet approach helps patients enjoy the procedure’s benefits without concern over visible signs of surgery. The result is an improved ear contour with no apparent traces of the operation.
Because otoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure, patients can return home the same day and begin the recovery process right away. Most people resume their normal routine within one to two weeks, depending on the extent of the surgical procedure. While swelling or minimal discomfort may occur, these effects usually fade quickly. Patients are advised to avoid sleeping on the treated head side and follow all post-op instructions for best results. The relatively short recovery time makes ear surgery convenient for those with busy schedules.
