Ear Surgery for Men
in New York City & Manhattan

Ear Surgery, formally called Otoplasty, helps to address concerns of the ear such as size, shape, proportion, or injury. Many men get ear surgery because they are self-conscious of how their ears look, whether they protrude or are extremely disproportionate to the rest of the facial structure. To help balance out your facial structure and give you more confidence, Dr. Wallach provides men with the best Otoplasty surgery. When it is needed, he can create an improved fold and contour to your ear. This helps to bring balance and harmony to your appearance.

What is Ear Surgery for Men?

One of the main reasons that men opt to get ear surgery is to improve the appearance of their ears in relation to the rest of their facial features. This reconstructive surgery helps correct the appearance of protruding ears, overly large ears, misshapen ears, or overly prominent ears, which can improve self-esteem and overall self-confidence. During a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Wallach, he will listen to each of your individual needs and concerns to tailor the surgical procedure in order to achieve the best results possible.

Who Is a Candidate for Ear Surgery?

Ideal candidates for ear otoplasty surgery are those seeking to correct the appearance of their ears. Candidates typically are unhappy with the shape, position, size, or projection of the ears and ear structure or have excess cartilage due to a birth defect or injury. Candidates should be in good overall health and should maintain realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of the procedure. During an initial consultation, your medical history and aesthetic goals will be reviewed in order to determine if this procedure is right for you.

Testimonials

I had my first consultation with Dr. Wallach in February 2012 to discuss body-contouring procedures after massive weight loss. I had seen two plastic surgeons prior to Dr. Wallach. From the very moment that I received a phone call from the patient coordinator I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Wallach listened and answered all of my questions and was very patient. In May 2012 I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with a fleur d’lis. Dr. Wallach was there every step of the way. I had never met a doctor more dedicated to his patients. While other plastic surgeons were willing to do an entire body lift at once Dr. Wallach would not compromise his patients’ health. He is honest, caring, and above all a very competent surgeon. I would strongly recommend his care to anyone considering a procedure. He is truly an exceptional surgeon, whose expertise far outweighs other surgeons in his field. The quality of Dr. Wallach’s patient care and bedside manner is far superior to that of other plastic surgeons with whom I have consulted, and the passion he exhibits for his profession is second to none. Dr Wallach’s first priority is always patient health and safety, and is unwilling to compromise either for fiscal gain. This is not something I can say about the other plastic surgeons I consulted with, who were willing to perform any elaborate, complicated, and much more risk-laden surgery because “the price was right.” I would not go to any other surgeon and I am looking forward to my next procedure with Dr. Wallach.

I was referred to and met Dr. Wallach in late January 2014 regarding having a BBL procedure done, Dr. Wallach easy going personality and professionalism put my mind at ease. I have unique medical issues and after speakina with him I knew he was the perfect physician for my procedure. My surgery was scheduled for mid-February and it went without a hitch. Mind you the day of the surgery there was a big snowstorm; but everyone on the team including myself made it in safely. Dr. Wallach was very informative on the day of surgery: explaining evey step to me and my husband. He was caring and made sure everything was being done to ensure our privacy and that I was comfortable. I must say I was very satisfied with the results and still am. I would definitely go back to Dr Wallach for any future work and would highly recommend him! His office assistant Nicole is a sweet heart and thank them both for the loving care. I have received endless compliments and owe Dr. Wallach a multitude of gratitude!!!!!

The Ear Surgery Procedure

There are two different otoplasty techniques that could be used for your personal ear surgery. The technique used will determine the placement of your incisions, which will be decided based on your anatomy as well as the desired changes. The incision will either be placed inside or behind the ear, concealed within the natural creases of your skin. During the procedure, excess ear cartilage will be removed, folds will be recreated, and the size and shape of the ears will be changed. Otoplasty surgery takes 1-3 hours to complete and is often done under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation, but general anesthesia can be used as well. This procedure is very beneficial for men who wish to change their ears for more confidence but also have realistic expectations when it comes to what results can be achieved.

Recovery

You will be able to go home on the same day of the procedure. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first day following the surgery. Bandages will be placed on the ears for the first few days to help with bleeding, swelling, and any chance of infection. It is important to rest during this time and not to lay on your operated ear. Most men can return to work and light activity after a week following the surgery. You can usually return to the gym within about three weeks after the procedure. It can take a few weeks to months to see the final results of your procedure.

During a consultation with Dr. Wallach, he will walk you through the aspects of the procedure, including preparation and recovery instructions. Each procedure is different for each patient and is catered to the individual needs, wants, and concerns of the patient.
