Earlobe Reconstruction

Otoplasty involves making an incision behind the ear and then setting the ear back using special suturing techniques. The scar is usually not visible as it is hidden by the ear. In children this procedure is done using general anesthesia whereas in adults it can be performed using local analgesia. Reconstruction of earlobes due to earrings or other trauma is also performed under local anesthesia in most cases.
