Ear Surgery (Reconstructive)
Ear abnormalities can occur for various reasons – during development, after surgery, or following trauma.
The ear is also a common site for skin cancers to develop as it’s often exposed to the sun.
Dr O’Mahony has expertise in both reconstructive and cosmetic ear surgery for a range of problems.
What is ear surgery?
Ear surgery can address a variety of concerns, including asymmetry, abnormalities from birth or development, changes following previous surgery, or reconstruction after trauma.
The ear is also frequently affected by skin cancers due to sun exposure.
Patients with ear abnormalities, asymmetry, or skin cancers on the ear may benefit from Dr O’Mahony’s expertise.
The specific procedure depends on your individual situation.
Dr O’Mahony will discuss the approach during your consultation.
Recovery varies depending on the specific procedure.
Dr O’Mahony will discuss what to expect during your consultation.
Prominent ears, sometimes called ‘bat ears’, are a relatively common concern.
Surgery to correct them (known as otoplasty) can be very helpful.
You can find more information about otoplasty on the cosmetic procedures page.
Health Fund Coverage
Coverage depends on whether the procedure is considered reconstructive (medically necessary) or cosmetic.
Dr O’Mahony can advise you on this during your consultation.
