Is There a Surgery to Remove Excess Skin from Behind Ears?

If a patient is concerned with excess skin behind their ear it is typically suggested to make an incision behind the ear, deep in the crease, and excise the extra skin.   Your surgeon then will use plastic surgery suturing techniques to close the incision.  After adequate healing time the incision line should be hardly noticeable.  Recovery would be easy and minimal with probably no down time.  I would contant your plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate for this procedure. 

 

                                                         

Yes there is. Simply remove the extra skin under local anesthesia and you can go to work the next day. Complications from this would be extremely rare. There is no other good treatment.

Removing loose skin from behind the ears should be a fairly easy procedure that can even be done under local anesthesia in a doctor's office.  The resulting scar would be well-hidden in the natural fold behind your ear.

Excess skin from behind the ears could be removed by making an elliptical incision.  Then the edges would be pulled back together.  Because the incision line would lie behind the ears, it would be well hidden.  All the sutures could be dissolvable.
This procedure could be performed in the office setting under local.  The patient would go home immediately after, and should be able to return to work in a day or so.  Strenuous activities such as contact sports should be avoided till the incision sites are healed.
Best of luck on your journey.

Yes, it is possible to remove “excess skin” from behind  the ears.  This is, however, an unusual concern, and I wonder about the indications for the procedure.

Please make sure that you are not being too hard on yourself  and remember that every procedure has potential risks and competitions associated with it.

If you do decide to seek consultation, I would suggest meeting with a board-certified/experienced plastic surgeon.

Best wishes.
