Otoplasty in Dallas, Texas

Reshape and reposition your ears for a more balanced, confident look.

Trusted Otoplasty Surgeon in Dallas

Ears can shape how you feel about your whole appearance. If they stick out or feel out of proportion, it’s hard to ignore. Dr. Bret Johnson offers otoplasty to reshape and reposition the ears so they sit more naturally with your face.

An Overview of the Surgical Process

Otoplasty is a straightforward procedure with long-lasting results. Dr. Johnson reshapes or repositions the ears using a small incision, usually hidden behind the ear. It’s typically done in under two hours and doesn’t require an overnight stay. Most people go home the same day and heal quickly with minimal downtime.

Benefits of Otoplasty

Otoplasty helps your ears look more in proportion with your face, making them feel less prominent or uneven. This small change can have a big impact, especially for those who have felt self-conscious about their ears for years.

What you can expect:

A more balanced facial appearance

Ears that no longer draw unwanted attention

Lasting results with minimal visible scarring

Improved confidence in photos, conversations, and daily life

Ideal Candidates for Otoplasty

Your ears stick out noticeably

One ear looks different from the other

You’ve been teased or feel self-conscious

You want a lasting fix without changing who you are

Pre-Operative Consultation

Your first appointment is all about learning what’s possible. Dr. Johnson will listen, answer your questions, and walk you through your options. You’ll get a tailored plan that matches what you’re hoping to change.

Procedure Details

After a small incision is made behind the ear, Dr. Johnson gently reshapes the cartilage and repositions the ear so it sits closer to the head. The incision is closed with hidden stitches that heal well. The procedure is usually done under local or general anesthesia, depending on your needs.

Complementary Procedures

Looking to improve overall balance in your face? Otoplasty can be combined with other procedures, such as rhinoplasty or chin contouring. Dr. Johnson can walk you through what makes sense for your goals.

Recovery and Healing After Otoplasty

Most people are back to their daily routines in about a week. You might wear a light headband for a few days to support healing. Some swelling and mild discomfort are normal, but they go away quickly. You’ll have follow-up visits to make sure everything’s healing well.

Otoplasty Results: What to Expect

You’ll notice the difference immediately after the procedure. The ears will now sit closer to the head and look more natural with your face. As the swelling fades, the results become even clearer. Once healed, the change is permanent, and most patients say they wish they had done it sooner.

FAQs

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here’s what people often ask about otoplasty.

At what age can a child get otoplasty?

Otoplasty is safe for kids as young as 5 or 6, once their ears are almost fully grown.

How long does the procedure take?

Most surgeries are done in 1–2 hours.

What type of anesthesia is used?

For adults, local anesthesia with sedation is common. For younger children, general anesthesia may be used.

Is it painful?

You might feel some soreness, but it’s usually mild and goes away within a few days. Pain meds help if needed.

When can I get back to normal life?

Most people are back at work, school, or regular routines within a week.

Are there risks?

Like any surgery, there are some risks (such as infection or scarring), but these are rare and manageable when you work with a qualified surgeon like Dr. Johnson.
