Otoplasty: Results & Thoughts
I've been wanting to "fix" my ears since
I was a kid! I've been nicknamed Minnie Mouse and been teased about how ears stick out even in adulthood. Working in an industry where I have to put my hair back, my ears were an insecurity I had to face every single day. I finally decided to get an otoplasty, or an ear pinning surgery, to help resolve my issue.
I chose to Dr. Pirko and his staff because they made me feel welcome the moment I stepped in their beautiful clinic. They accommodated my schedule and even let me know when another sooner slot opened up to get me in sooner for the procedure.
The day of surgery seemed like a breeze. The nurse, Lisa, was so so kind and so calming. Because of COVID-19, extra guests weren't allowed to accompany and wait around. Lisa couldn't have done a better job at making sure I was relaxed and comfortable. The anesthesiologist did a great job as well-I woke up after my procedure without any discomfort.
Dr. Pirko was kind as always. I originally wanted a more dramatic ear pinning, but Dr. Pirko advised me to go for something more natural , and if I didn't like the results he would gladly pin them back further. We have had post-op appointments 1 day, 1 week, and 6 weeks after surgery. My recovery was easy and went well.
Now that my ears are settling, I do think I will want them to be further pinned or at least fix one of the shapes of my ears. Dr. Pirko warned that my ears won't be perfectly symmetrical, but I truly believe something can be done so that the shape of both ears are more similar, like they were before. I'll have to wait a few more months to finish healing before revisiting that option.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Dr. Pirko's practice. All of the staff are excellent and I truly believe Dr. Pirko wants what is best for his patients.
