Otoplasty costs

At the time of this answer, Otoplasty in my practice costs $2700.  However, as I'm reading the other posts on Real Self, I may need to increase our fee, because I know we do incredible work with ears! One reason we are able to keep our costs low is that we do our Otoplasty surgery in the office and this avoids the anesthesia and hospital fee.
