How Much Would Pixie Ear Repair Cost?

Question

John Bitner, MD · Answer

A pixie ear deformity usually appears when too much skin is removed below the ear after a facelift.  Some facial surgeon's have this problem with virtually every patient on whom they do facelifts.  Look for this carefully in their before-and-after gallery.  First, bring up the problem with your surgeon.  He should fix this in the office for nothing. If you have already lost trust, simple repairs should not cost much, less than $500.

The price depends on the surgeon but usually varies from $3000 to $5000. I usually perform the procedure under local anesthesia which makes it less costly.

Thank you for your question. The
"pixie" ear deformity can be recognized by its "stuck on"
or "pulled" appearance, which is caused by the tension involving the
facelift cheek and jaw line skin flaps at the earlobe attachment point. In many
cases, this deformity may be improved in the office using local anesthesia. In
more severe cases, a revision facelift may be advisable. The costs would be influenced
by the complexity of the procedure undertaken and whether that was performed in
the office or surgery center, and the type of anesthesia utilized. Consult with
an experienced facial plastic surgeon to better understand the options
available in your particular case.

Pixie ear surgery required performing an V-Y advancement commonly as and office procedure under local anesthesia.  This surgery may leave a potentially visible scar along the jaw line. This ranges in cost from $1500-2500 per ear excluding operating room and anesthesia fees.

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

If caused by a face lift and you go back to the surgeon that did your surgery they will typically fix it for you (and may do so free of charge). Depending on the severity and what needs to be done the cost may range from $1000 to $10000.
