For young patients, surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. Adults generally receive local anesthesia with light sedation, ensuring a calm and comfortable experience throughout. Following surgery, Dr. Deane may prescribe oral medication to ease any temporary tenderness as the ears heal. Most patients describe recovery as entirely manageable, with minimal discomfort.

Beyond your initial consultation and surgery day, a series of follow-up visits at Dr. Deane’s Montreal clinic will be scheduled. These brief appointments allow her to monitor healing, assess the incisions, and address any questions that may arise during recovery. Each follow-up is designed to ensure your results evolve beautifully and predictably.

While early swelling can momentarily conceal the final outcome, patients often notice an immediate improvement in ear position and facial balance. Over the ensuing weeks, as the tissues settle and residual swelling fades, the refined contour becomes more evident. The full, natural results typically emerge within several months, offering a lasting, harmonious transformation.

Yes. Many patients choose to combine otoplasty with other facial procedures—such as rhinoplasty, chin refinement, or skin rejuvenation treatments—to achieve comprehensive aesthetic balance. During your consultation, Dr. Deane will thoughtfully design a customized treatment plan to address all of your aesthetic goals within one cohesive vision.

Dr. Deane takes every measure to ensure a smooth, safe surgical experience. Nonetheless, all procedures carry some degree of risk. Complications associated with ear pinning or reshaping, though uncommon, may include swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, asymmetry, anesthesia reactions, scarring, or the need for revision. Detailed aftercare guidance and close follow-up help minimize these possibilities, supporting optimal healing and aesthetic outcome.
