Man treated with Ear Surgery, Earfold - The earfold is a small implant inserted through a small incision on the front of the ear. It is very effective and quick to perform.The earfold does not work on every ear as it is only available in one size and strength. Also it cannot correct an enlarged conchal bowl. A very good result can be achieved in approximately 20% of ears.The exact position of the earfold can be simulated in the clinic by using the pre-fold. This is the same as the earfold without the teeth and can applied directly over the skin.The pictures show the pre-fold applied and before and after after treatment with earfold.

18-24 year old woman treated with Earfold, Ear Surgery - Having big ears is a common concern with a simple solution -- otoplasty, or ear surgery. Often times, overly projected ears are misconstrued as being disproportionately sized for a person's head. In truth, the issue lies in the way the ear is shaped, and by creating a new helical fold or adjusting the placement of the conchal bowl, the ears can be perceived to be much smaller. This was the case for this 24-year-old patient, who is thrilled with the outcome of her ear surgery with Dr. Wise.

25-34 year old man treated with Secondary Otoplasty using Earfold - This really nice fireman had an otoplasty at the age of 10 years old and he was unhappy with the result. I improve the harmony of his ears using a combination of treatments: Earfold + remodeling the helix.I find Earfold to be particularly interesting in adult patients who want to have limited downtime. He went back to his fire station on day 2 after his procedure without having to wear a head band.

18-24 year old man treated with Earfold - This is a 19 year old young man who presented with prominent ears. He was bullied and tortured as a child. He is so upset about his ears that he cant look at himself. He has been laughed at behind his back. His self confidence was destroyed.His otoplasty was comfortably performed in the office under mild oral sedation with local anesthesia. His recovery was unremarkable. He is very happy with his result and has taken steps to treat his acne. Im thrilled that he has blossomed after surgery and has a greatly improved self-image. He is much happier.

25-34 year old woman treated with Earfold, Ear Surgery - A Little Tuck Goes a Long Way!This 26 year old patient hated her big ears. She said that she was teased as a child and remains self-conscious to this day. Her simple goal was to be able to wear her hair up and feel pretty. This patient had prominence of the ears at the upper, middle, and lower portions. The right ear was more prominent than the left. The prominence was due to slightly enlarged (hypertrophic) concha cartilages along with lack of adequate cartilage folding while the patient was a baby in the womb. As noted on the side view, some cupping of the ears was also present.With the ears brought in closer to the head, her natural beauty is enhanced, and she looks like she lost weight!

The prominence was due to enlarged (hypertrophic) concha cartilages along with lack of adequate cartilage folding while the patient was a baby in the womb. As noted on the side view, some cupping of the ears was also present.An otoplasty was performed under general anesthesia per the patients request. The procedure was mainly performed from the posterior surface (next to the skull) of the ear. An ellipsis of excess skin was removed taking care to have the scar lie inconspicuously within the ear-head crease.With the ears brought in closer to the head, her natural beauty is enhanced.
