Beautiful ears allow women to display earrings and highlight a long neck, while men can flaunt the latest haircut and sideburn style. Many people go to great lengths to hide imperfect ears with hairstyles or hats. Fortunately, ear plastic and aesthetic surgery is possible.
Dr. Amanda Fanous is passionate about ear surgery. She trained with the renowned surgeon Dr. Françoise Firmin in Paris, France. Dr. Firmin is widely considered as one of the leading world authorities in esthetic ear surgery and ear reconstruction (for congenitally small ears such as microtia or ear deformities following trauma or cancer). Dr. Amanda Fanous performs the Firmin techniques for all of her ear procedures.
Prominent ears are ears that stick out of the head. This can lead to psychological distress for both children and adults.
Otoplasty, commonly referred to as ear pinning, is a surgical procedure performed to set the ears back closer to the head. This is done through an incision on the back of the ear (and therefore hidden). Dr. Amanda Fanous uses the Firmin otoplasty technique, which consists of weakening the ear cartilage (the support of the ear) and then placing sutures to fold the ear and pull it back in place.
For patients over the age of 18, the surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure. In this case, the surgery is performed in our accredited surgical center under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation.
The ear lobe is the lower portion of the ear, where earrings are worn. A simple surgery can be performed to reduce the size of a big or hanging lobe to make it look younger. Also, a large lobe hole from a previous piercing can be closed. Furthermore, ear lobes that are stuck or attached to the head from birth or from a previous surgery can be reshaped to look more attractive.
Large ears are common, especially amongst adult men. This refers to ears that have a marked height, with or without them also sticking out from the head. Dr. Amanda Fanous performs the “Firmin technique”, a customized surgical innovation tailored to each individual patient in order to make the ears smaller overall and more appealing.
