Otoplasty for Children

Ear reduction surgery, known as otoplasty, seeks to correct prominent or protruding ears. It can even reduce the size of larger ears. This is a common ear plastic surgery used to correct ear deformities that are present since birth. While most otoplasty surgeries are performed on young patients, even adults who neglected the need for this procedure can have it done successfully. Dr. Eric Cerrati can perform otoplasty for children or adults at his Park City office.

Dr. Cerrati typically recommends that parents have their child examined early if their ears seem overly large or protruding. Otoplasty is a pediatric plastic surgery, commonly performed on children between ages 4-14. The ears are usually fully formed by age four, so reshaping, resizing or ear pinning can be successfully completed without risk of continued growth disrupting the corrections. Plus, the earlier your son or daughter has otoplasty to correct an ear deformity, the less teasing your child may endure from peers.

Skilled Pediatric Ear Corrections in Utah

Common names for ear deformities that can be corrected through various forms of otoplasty are lop ear syndrome, protruding ear and prominent ear deformity. Each unique ear problem is carefully examined by Dr. Cerrati before he recommends a tailored treatment for corrections. He carefully consults with parents and the child to explain what procedures are recommended, as well as the possible risks, benefits and post-surgery recovery issues.

Otoplasty typically takes about one hour per ear, depending on the severity and what procedures are necessary. Your child can go home the same day but should refrain from activity for 3-5 days after surgery. A full recovery typically takes from 7-10 days. Dr. Cerrati uses the most advanced techniques for ear shaping and contouring, as well as hiding scars so they are virtually unnoticeable.

If your child has overly large, protruding ears or some other cosmetic ear issue, contact us today to schedule a pediatric otoplasty consultation with Dr. Cerrati at his Park City office.

Dr. Cerrati and his entire staff have created a unique, upbeat and healing environment to explore any facial plastic work you may be considering. I literally can't say enough. I was actually very nervous about this kind of work and super pain averse and just had a facelift, upper and lower bleph and neck work. Dr. Cerrati is so calm and doesn't pressure you at all. He is a master surgeon and the most meticulous. His heart and kindness shine through and he cares very much about his patients - even giving me his own personal mobile number for any questions or concerns post surgery. I was terrified to try this and Dr. Cerrati and his staff made me feel comfortable trusting in their care and expertise. He is a world class professional and there is no one else I would recommend you visit for facial plastic and med spa services. I am now one month post surgery and very excited about the results. Don't hesitate to book an informational visit with Dr. Cerrati and his team. They are lovely and I promise, you won't regret it! PS. I would give 10 stars instead of 5! :)

I cannot recommend Dr. Cerrati highly enough for the exceptional work he did on my brow lift and rhinoplasty. His talent and skill are truly remarkable, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. The entire process was seamless—I experienced no pain or bruising, and my recovery was incredibly smooth and stress-free. Dr. Cerrati and his staff are the epitome of professionalism, providing five-star care that made me feel confident and supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a top-tier surgeon and team, Dr. Cerrati is the cream of the crop! Love Haley and the all the ladies, when you walk into their Beautiful, clean office everyone has bright smiles, and a fabulous energy that makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. Best experience!

I just want to say I absolutely LOVE Dr. Cerrati! He is the kindest doctor I’ve ever had. He is also the most talented doctor I’ve ever known. I am still in awe of the work he did on me. I see a lot of people everyday in my line of work, and not a day goes by that I don’t have at least 5-6 people asking me what I have done to my face and how do I look so much younger. I am extremely happy with Dr. Cerrati’s work on me. I have women in my office that go to what they claim are “the best” plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills and pay up to $150,000 for a facelift. Not only do my results surpass the quality of these “top” Beverly Hill surgeons, Dr. Cerrati exceeded my expectations. To say I am very happy with his work is an understatement. Everything from the first appointment throughout the entire process has been smooth, comfortable and surprisingly easy. It really has all been so seamless - including his office staff. They are all so wonderful and helpful. I would give them all a 5 star rating as well.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr Cerrati — truly an incredibly talented, kind, and exceptional surgeon. From start to finish, I felt completely safe, comfortable, and confident in his care. His skill and expertise are unmatched — a true 5-star experience. His entire staff is equally amazing — professional, compassionate, and top-notch in every way. Always greated with beautiful warm smiles! They made every step of the process incredibly easy, providing warm, personalized attention and creating a smooth, stress-free experience. If you are looking for the very best and i mean the absolute best — someone who is not only extraordinarily competent and skilled but also caring and genuine — look no further. Dr. Cerrati and his entire team are simply outstanding.
