What Is Cosmetic Ear Surgery?
Cosmetic ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a procedure used to reshape or reposition the ears, creating a more balanced and proportional appearance. Many patients choose otoplasty to correct protruding or asymmetrical ears, often to boost their confidence or improve facial harmony. In addition to aesthetic benefits, otoplasty is sometimes used to correct congenital ear deformities or damage from injury. At John L. Clayton, MD at Southridge Clinic Plastic Surgery, Dr. John L. Clayton takes a personalized approach to each patient's ear surgery using advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking, subtle results. To find out how cosmetic ear surgery could enhance your appearance or address your concerns, contact our team in Riverton, UT to schedule a consultation.
How Do You Perform Ear Surgery?
Otoplasty is a straightforward procedure that involves reshaping the cartilage of the ears to create a more balanced appearance. Depending on the patient's specific goals, Dr. Clayton makes small incisions behind the ears to carefully adjust their position or size. This allows for discreet scarring and natural-looking results. The surgery typically takes a couple of hours, and patients can return home the same day.
Ear surgery recovery usually takes around 1 – 2 weeks, during which swelling and bruising are common but temporary. Dr. Clayton will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. While each case is unique, most patients can resume normal activities after the first week.
What Are the Benefits of Cosmetic Ear Surgery?
For many patients, cosmetic ear surgery offers life-changing benefits that go beyond aesthetics. This procedure can help enhance both appearance and self-confidence by addressing concerns that may have impacted your comfort or self-esteem for years. Some of the benefits of otoplasty at our Riverton, UT practice include:
- Correcting ears that protrude or appear uneven
- Achieving better facial symmetry and balance
- Minimizing the appearance of overly large or misshapen ears
- Boosting confidence, especially for those who have been self-conscious about their ears

OBSESSED!! Dr. Clayton is amazing and so kind. He fixed my chest and helped relieve back and neck pain. My chest looks amazing. His staff is so kind and he has the best MA. Thank you for making me feel beautiful again.
Nice and very professional….great staff!!
So far one day after surgery, I am doing well. The prep, procedure and after care at the hospital was smooth and I felt well informed and listened to.
I had an outpatient procedure done at Riverton Hospital. The staff is great. Shout out to same day surgery nurse Stephanie and Morgan for their excellent care.
Dr Clayton and staff made me feel very comfortable.
