Otoplasty surgery is one of the more common cosmetic procedures performed on young adults, although this procedure can be done at any age. This cosmetic procedure is designed to change the appearance of the external ear, such as bringing the ear closer to the head, reducing the size of the ear or reshaping the cartilage. The goal is to bring balance and proportion to the ears and face.

Although otoplasty surgery can be performed at any age, it is beneficial in childhood while the cartilage is still pliable making the ear easier to shape.

Your child is a good candidate if-

. he/she is 5 years or older
. in good health
. no history of scarring (keloids)
. wants to improve his/her appearance
. has realistic expectations
. is willing to carefully follow post-op instructions

The baby boomer generation, those aged 50-60+ have now entered a stage of life filled with new beginnings, some calling this time the “second adolescence”.

The children have grown, married or are living on their own leaving the nest, and now is the time to concentrate on self improvement. Some want to try to regain their youthful appearance.

In this age group, the number of cosmetic surgical procedures has steadily increased even with the recent economic downturns. We are seeing the number of rhytidectomy (facelift), blepharoplasty (eyelid tuck) surgeries increase in part because the “empty nesters” tend to stay inthe workforce longer and in some cases begin new careers.

We have also seen the number of non-invasive procedures such as Botox, Juvederm, Perlane, Restylane, Radiesse and Sculptra filler treatments increase dramatically.

Plastic surgery can help you look and feel better as you enter this new phase of life.
