Ear Reconstruction
Ear reconstruction addresses congenital deformities like microtia, using rib cartilage grafts to create natural-looking ears. Ideal for children and adults, this multi-stage procedure restores aesthetics and function. Our practice specializes in advanced techniques, ensuring minimal scarring and optimal symmetry.
Incisionless Otoplasty
Incisionless otoplasty corrects protruding ears without cutting, using sutures for reshaping. Patients enjoy faster recovery, no dressings, and return to activities within 24 hours. This method is ideal for minor deformities and cosmetic enhancements.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty corrects prior surgical outcomes or trauma-related deformities. With expertise in complex cases, we restore nasal structure and function. Techniques focus on minimizing scar tissue complications for natural, long-lasting results.
Non-Surgical Molding
Non-surgical molding reshapes infants ears using hypoallergenic materials within the first week of life. This early intervention leverages soft cartilage to correct deformities, avoiding surgery and ensuring developmental benefits.
Facial Plastic Surgery
Facial plastic surgery includes facelifts, rhinoplasty, and hair transplants to enhance appearance. Tailored approaches address aging, trauma, or congenital issues, combining artistry with medical precision for natural, rejuvenated outcomes.
