Ear surgery reshapes the ears for a more balanced appearance. Through tiny incisions made behind the ear, Dr. Olson reshapes and removes cartilage to:
“Trim down” oversized ears
Bring distant ears closer to the head
Reconstruct ears that are misshapen or malformed.
Earlobe Reduction
As we age as a result of natural changes in ear shape lobes can elongate. This is probably accentuated in women by wearing heavy curettings over her lifetime. The result is that the earlobe no longer supports and tearing in a natural position and this bothers many people. Fortunately, a more normal position of the earlobe could be achieved through earlobe reduction. This procedure can be performed in the office under local anesthesia with sutures being removed within 5 days of the procedure.
Dr. Olson combines his artistic talent and advanced experience to provide permanent enhancement for the ears. His otoplasty patients also have another advantage: he is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has the skill to perform many other facial plastic surgery procedures, including rhinoplasty, in Tucson.
