Ear Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA
It’s so easy to forget how important the look of the ears are to your overall appearance. While the ears may seem like hidden features to those who have ears they are happy with, people with ear deformities often feel differently. The ears can change the entire look of your face. If you have an irregularity in the shape of one or both of your ears, because of defects at birth or personal injuries, you may feel self-conscious about your appearance. Dr. Golshani can help.
In Los Angeles, Dr. Golshani performs ear surgeries, which are also called otoplasties, to repair cosmetic issues with the ears. While esthetic ear problems generally do not cause hearing problems or medical issues, they can have a significant effect on your outlook and self-image. Dr. Golshani’s ear surgery can restore your self-esteem by correcting ears that appear overly large, ears that protrude, droopy ears, asymmetrical ears, “top ear”, “cupped ear”, “shell ear”, or any other defects that you are unsatisfied with.
Dr. Golshani would be happy to meet with you and discuss your options for correcting irregularities in ear shape. He is an extensively experienced, double board certified Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon. In addition, he is empathetic, honest, and will listen intently to your concerns and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ear Surgery
Learn about ear reshaping and reconstruction from Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Golshani. These concise answers address common questions about otoplasty, from candidacy and procedures to recovery and results.
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes or repositions the ears. It corrects prominent ears, congenital deformities, torn earlobes, or unsatisfactory results from previous surgeries.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Are age 5 or older with fully developed ears
- Are concerned about ear size, prominence, or asymmetry
- Have stretched or torn earlobes
- Are in good health and want a permanent solution
- Prominent ears that stick out
- Lop ear (top of ear bends forward)
- Shell ear (missing natural folds)
- Split or stretched earlobes
- Congenital deformities like microtia
- Post-traumatic ear damage
- A small incision is made behind the ear
- Cartilage is reshaped or repositioned
- Internal sutures maintain the new ear shape
- Earlobe repair uses layered suturing for minimal scarring
Scarring is minimal and hidden:
- Otoplasty scars are behind the ear, in the natural crease
- Earlobe repair scars are small and fade with proper care
- Protective headband worn for 5–7 days
- Return to school or work within 1 week
- Mild swelling or discomfort is common
- Avoid physical contact to the ears for 4–6 weeks
Yes. Once healed, otoplasty results are stable and long-lasting, especially in patients with fully developed ears.
- Asymmetry
- Over- or under-correction
- Infection or delayed healing
- Visible scarring (rare)
- Suture exposure requiring revision
Yes. It’s often performed alongside:
- Rhinoplasty
- Chin or jaw implants
- Facelift or scar revision
- Cosmetic otoplasty is usually not covered
- Reconstructive surgery for trauma or birth defects may qualify
