What are Otoplasty Before and After Images?

Otoplasty ‘before and after images’ refer to a pair or group of pictures belonging to an earlier patient who has received the same surgery successfully. The images include pictures taken before the surgery and after the surgery at a time when full effects of otoplasty have been established. The surgeon will take these pictures with the consent of the patient, and show them to new patients in a discreet manner.

The surgeon’s only goal is to use these pictures to educate new patients about different aspects of otoplasty and help them make an informed decision. Otoplasty before and after photographs serve as an effective visual aid to explain to the patients what the procedure can or cannot do for them. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby locations have an opportunity to receive surgical and non-surgical procedures at Dr. Motykie’s plastic surgery practice as well as medspa.

Benefits

When a new patient visits the surgeon’s office to seek otoplasty, they may not necessarily know how exactly the procedure may help fulfill their unique aesthetic needs. Some patients may only need a minor corrective surgery, while others may need an elaborate otoplasty in conjunction with another facial procedure to meet their aesthetic goals.

For a patient, it can be a difficult situation to choose the right options and make the best decision. This is where the surgeon can use otoplasty before and after photos effectively to help them visualize the results and make appropriate choices.

Being Realistic

One of the pre-requisites to success in any aesthetic surgical or non-surgical procedure is that the patient should have a positive frame of mind, clear aesthetic priorities and realistic expectations. Such patients will typically achieve the highest satisfaction from the results.

With otooplasty before and after photos, the patient will know clearly what to expect and what not to expect from the surgery. This will mitigate the chances of any misunderstanding or disappointment occurring at a later stage.

Online Photos

The surgeon may also decide to provide otoplasty before and after photos on their practice website. Anyone can access these pictures freely online and review the potential results even before they are ready to visit the surgeon’s office for a consultation.

What is the cost of Otoplasty (ear surgery)?

What is the price of Otoplasty (ear surgery)?

Otoplasty is a facial plastic surgery procedure aimed at correcting the size or appearance of one or both ears to bring them in harmony with the rest of the face. At the time of initial consultation, the surgeon will explain various aspects of otoplasty, and also provide an idea of the estimated costs of surgery.

As the procedure involves facial aesthetics, it is important that otoplasty should only be performed by an experienced cosmetic surgeon with a successful track record of facial procedures. Dr. Gary Motykie is a board certified plastic surgeon providing a wide range of procedures for the breast, body, and face, including otoplasty. Dr. Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

Pricing Factors

Otoplasty costs can vary from one practice to another, and in some cases, even from one patient to another at the same practice. The following factors may impact the overall cost of the surgery:

Where the Practice is Located

The cost of living index usually varies between two regions, which can influence the average cost of most types of goods and services, including plastic surgery services. For instance, the cost of otoplasty in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby locations may not be the same as the cost in, say, Tennessee.

Surgeon’s Fee

The fee charged by a cosmetic surgeon may vary depending on their skills, experience, and reputation in the field of otoplasty. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) recommends that patients should choose the right surgeon for their needs. Factors such as the fee charged by a surgeon should only be secondary while making such a choice.

Surgical Facility and Anesthesia Costs

If an otoplasty procedure is required to be performed under general anesthesia, the fee of the anesthesiologist should be taken into account. It will vary as per their skills and experience. Depending on the technologies, staff and personalized services provided at an operating facility, the charges of the facility may also vary.

Insurance and Finance

In a few cases, otoplasty may be performed to address medical symptoms such as impairment of hearing. Health insurers will usually provide coverage in such a case. However, if the procedure is performed only for aesthetic purposes, the insurance will not be covered.

Most patients will be eligible to seek affordable financing options such as loans through professional medical care finance companies, bank loans, credit card extended payments, family or personal borrowings, and even crowd funding.

Dr. Motykie on The Doctor’s TV Show: Woman Seeks Help for Deflated Breast Implant

A woman suffering from a painful complication of breast enhancement surgery reaches out to The Doctors for help. Find out what went wrong — and if it can be fixed.

After giving birth to twin boys, Darlene felt self-conscious about her sagging, unsymmetrical breasts, so she decided to have a breast augmentation.

“I just wanted to do something to feel good about my body,” she says.

She says at first she was happy with the results and felt more confident.

Then, about six years after the surgery, that changed. Darlene was watching TV and felt a cool sensation as if water was leaking in her left breast.

“As I was sitting there, I could actually see it deflating, getting smaller, kind of like a balloon,” she recalls.

A week later, Darlene began to feel an intense pinching feeling that wouldn’t go away, so she called the surgeon who performed her breast augmentation. He told her the only way to relieve the discomfort was to take the implant out, but she couldn’t afford the surgery.

“I have been living in pain now for two-and-a-half years,” Darlene says. “It’s with me all the time, 24/7. I can never get away from it.”

The pain is so bad that it interferes with Darlene’s daily life, and she even has considered ways she could take out the implant herself, using a razor blade.

“I just realized how desperate I really was,” she says.

The Doctors send Darlene to plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie for a consultation. Dr. Motykie explains that as the implant deflates, the pocket starts to implode, like a vacuum, and you get knuckles on the sides of the implant that can pinch the surrounding tissue. As the tissue collapses, it can pull on nerves and scar tissue, causing discomfort. After examining Darlene, Dr. Motykie finds that her right breast also likely has scar tissue, and the implant is also at risk of rupturing.

A few days after the consultation, Dr. Motykie explains that an implant deflation doesn’t typically cause pain.

“It’s called a silent leak, in most cases. Even in the case of saline, it may deflate, but it doesn’t hurt.” he says. “So, in her case, the pain may be more related to the capsule or the scar tissue contracting causing the pain but not actually from the deflation itself.”

Dr. Motykie recommends that both implants be removed and replaced with new, smooth implants, and he offers to perform the surgery free of charge.

“I think she’ll get relief, not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, everything,” he says.

Your Beverly Hill Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) Plastic Surgeon

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear reshaping surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to correct the shape, size, or protruding of ears to bring in the proportion with the rest of the face. The procedure is usually performed on children, but it may also be performed in adulthood. Candidates for otoplasty are individuals who are unhappy with the unsightly structure or shape of the ears, which may have occurred by birth or as a result of an injury.

Otoplasty should ideally be performed by a trained and experienced cosmetic surgeon who understands facial anatomy in detail and has a successful track record of facial surgery procedures. Board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie, is a leading expert for otoplasty and other surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures. Dr. Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding areas.

Stellar Candidates

Oversized ears or flapping ears on one or both sides of the face can be corrected effectively and permanently with otoplasty plastic surgery. The procedure may performed on children with poorly shaped ears, but terrific candidates will typically meet the following conditions:

The overall health of the candidate is concrete, and there are no signs of an untreated ear infection.
The child is at least five years of age, and stability of the ear cartilage has been achieved.
The child is capable of cooperating with the procedure and understanding the advice of the cosmetic surgeon.

Apart from small children, teens and adults also choose otoplasty in many cases. Such candidates should be non-smokers or ready to quit smoking several weeks in advance. As an experienced plastic surgeon for facial and other procedures, Dr. Motykie provides otoplasty to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

Surgery

Otoplasty may be performed as an outpatient procedure in most cases. The surgeon may choose between general anesthesia or IV sedation as per the needs of the case. The surgeon will increase or build the anti-helical fold within the ear rim, in case there is a need to correct excessively protruding ears. At the same time, the deepest external ear concavity, which is the enlarged conchal cavity, will also be reduced.

Incisions will be placed behind the ears as far as possible to keep the scarring inconspicuous. However, if it is necessary to make an incision on the front side, the surgeon will make it within the ear folds to maintain discreetness. The newly shaped cartilage will be secured firmly in its position with internal, non-removable sutures.

External sutures will be used to close the incisions after the surgery is completed. The goal of the surgeon is to bring the ears in harmony with the rest of the facial features. An experienced surgeon will take care to avoid the unnatural looking ‘pinned back’ appearance of the ears.

Recovery

It will usually take about one week for the patient to recover well from the surgery. Pain medications can help to provide relief from the initial mild pain or discomfort. Bandages in the incision areas should be kept intact as per the surgeon’s advice until sufficient healing is achieved.
