Your Otoplasty Experience: What to Expect
Personalized Consultation
Dr. Rhodes begins with a one-on-one consultation to discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals. He evaluates the ear structure and outlines the best surgical approach to achieve your desired results. During this time, you can discuss the type of procedure you’re looking for, such as earlobe repair, reduction, or general ear pinning.

Recovery from otoplasty is generally straightforward, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week. Dr. Rhodes provides detailed aftercare instructions to minimize discomfort and ensure proper healing. The results are immediate and long-lasting, with scars discreetly hidden behind the ears.
