Macrotia big ear deformity and otoplasty ear reduction plastic surgery photographs in a male patient
This male patient did not like his big ears which were very large. He camouflaged the large ears with his hair to hide their size. The ears did not protrude from the head, but he was concerned with the prominence of the ear lobes.
36 year old male
Surgery location: Hospital Operating Room
Anesthesia: Local with Sedation
These images are Very Early at only 4 and 6 days after surgery and show typical evolution of bruising and swelling in this extensive ear sculpture by Dr. Bermant.

Macrotia ear reduction surgery can be quite extensive. With Dr. Bermant's techniques, swelling and bruising can be limited. Here are oblique and side views of the ears showing the early evolution of the tissues. Sutures have just been removed at the 6 day picture.

Making an ear smaller must consider the blood supply to keep tissues alive resulting in compromise. Tissues can only be pushed so far. Selection of what a specific reduction requires is part of Dr. Bermant's skill as a surgical sculptor. One such compromise is the horizontal incision for access to the conchal bowl and reduction of anthelix cartilage. The early pictures at time of suture removal do not show the final result. Wounds do evolve over time and the scar will become much less noticeable.
