Expert Otoplasty and Ear Reconstruction in Monterey, CA
Prominent or asymmetrical ears can impact self-esteem at any age.
At Gallery Plastic Surgery, we specialize in advanced otoplasty that refines, repositions, or reconstructs the ears with exceptional precision and artistry.
Patients travel from across California and beyond to our Monterey practice for complex ear correction and reconstruction, trusting our plastic surgeons to achieve results that look natural, balanced, and beautifully proportioned. Our surgeons have extensive experience in facial and ear reconstruction, having performed complex craniofacial and reconstructive procedures throughout their training.
Comprehensive Ear Surgery Expertise
Our surgeons are uniquely trained in both cosmetic and reconstructive ear surgery, allowing us to address a wide range of aesthetic and structural concerns.
We perform everything from minor refinements to complete ear reconstruction — always with meticulous attention to detail and respect for natural anatomy.
Our expertise includes:
-
Otoplasty (Ear Pinning): Corrects prominent or protruding ears for a more balanced appearance.
-
Asymmetry Correction: Refines uneven ears to restore facial harmony.
-
Ear Reduction Surgery: A highly specialized and intricate procedure that reduces overly large or elongated ears while maintaining natural contours.
-
Full Ear Reconstruction: For congenital conditions (like microtia) or trauma-related deformities, we rebuild the ear entirely, using cartilage sculpting, tissue grafting, and advanced reconstructive techniques.
-
Revision Otoplasty: Corrects unsatisfactory results from previous surgeries performed elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
After the local anesthetic medication has worn off, the ears will feel sore for the first few days. You will likely have some bruising and swelling for the first 3 to 5 days. Try to sleep flat on your back and not on your side until the swelling has gone down. Most patients can return to work in a few days, depending on how strenuous their occupation is.
