During your otoplasty consult your doctor will carefully discuss your concerns and your goals with you.
To make your otoplasty consult a success, plan on discussing the following information with your doctor:
- List of previous surgeries or ear infections
- Past and present medical conditions
- History of any hearing difficulties
- Current medication(s)
As part of the otoplasty consult the ears will be evaluated, measured, and photographed for medical records. Options and a recommended course of treatment along with the outcome and risks will also be discussed. Personal desires are key in the decision making process.
