Oftentimes, a child’s ears are nearly adult-sized by the time he or she is starting kindergarten or first grade. Reasonably sized, shaped, and positioned ears should not cause self-consciousness. However, often times the ears can mature to an overly large size or awkward position. Thankfully, Plastic Surgeon Dr. Sean Kelishadi is highly-trained in the latest techniques to alter your ears to a more flattering shape and position. In Newport Beach, CA at SSK Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kelishadi can create a customized plan that is ideal for you or your child.
The Problem
In addition, the patient may have been born with a deformity, or an accident may have caused “cauliflower ears” resembling those of boxers damaged in the ring. Or the patient may have torn or split earlobes from earrings or an accident. If either of these is the case, you may want to discuss the cost of ear surgery with Dr. Kelishadi and schedule an otoplasty ear reconstruction surgery. We will be more than happy to address your concerns during a private consultation.
Am I A Candidate for Ear Surgery?
Whether you or your child feels self-conscious about the size, shape, or position of your ears, you may be an ideal candidate for otoplasty. This procedure is for patients of various ages, typically starting around 5–6 years old, when the ears are more developed. Ideal candidates include those with overly large ears, protruding ears, ear deformities from birth, or damage caused by injuries like “cauliflower ear” or torn earlobes. During a consultation, Dr. Kelishadi can assess your concerns, discuss your goals, and determine the best approach to achieve natural-looking results.

About UsEar Surgery FAQs
Can otoplasty correct asymmetrical ears?
Yes, otoplasty can improve ear symmetry by adjusting the shape, size, or position of one or both ears. Whether you have naturally uneven ears or asymmetry caused by injury, Dr. Kelishadi can customize a surgical plan to create a more balanced appearance.
What’s the ideal age for ear pinning surgery?
Ear pinning surgery can be performed at almost any age but is most commonly done on children between 5 and 7 years old. By this age, the ears have reached near-full development, and early correction can help prevent teasing or self-consciousness. However, adults can also undergo ear pinning with excellent results. Dr. Kelishadi can assess your needs and recommend the best timing for surgery based on individual goals.
Will I have visible scars after otoplasty?
Otoplasty incisions are typically placed behind the ear or within natural creases, making scars discreet. Over time, scars fade and become less noticeable. Our team provides postsurgical care instructions to support optimal healing and minimize scar visibility.
