Other Procedures

Otoplasty

Otoplasty (ear pinning) is a procedure performed to reduce the protrusion of the ear. It brings the ears back closer to the head and creates the folds that are sometimes missing. Although many people feel that plastic surgery is done for vanity, in reality, otoplasty is done simply to normalize ones appearance so their ears stand out less.

Ears that are prominent are treated by removing excess cartilage and creating natural folds. Incisions are made inside the ear and behind the ear in order to keep the scars hidden. The goal is to make the ears unnoticed. Recovery time for Arizona otoplasty surgery is minimal although bruising often takes several days to completely disappear. The procedure takes about 2 hours to perform and is done as an outpatient. Anesthesia is either local with sedation or general. Otoplasty in children is best performed after the age of 5.

If you are interested in otoplasty, or any other plastic surgery procedure, please contact Dr. Hiatt’s office today.

Mommy Makeover

The mommy makeover is a combination of procedures which are performed to reverse the affects of pregnancy and nursing. These include abdominoplasty, breast lifting and or breast augmentation and can include a small amount of liposuction.

It is a relatively lengthy operation (4-6 hrs) but well tolerated in healthy women. It saves time and money to treat all of these areas together and the recovery period is not significantly longer.

The East Valley is an area with lots of moms per capita so the mommy makeover has become one of Dr. Hiatts’ favorite and more common procedures. Although some might think vanity plays a role, most of the women treated simply want to get back to where they were before having babies. They have the makeover for themselves.

If you are interested in a mommy makeover, or any other plastic surgery procedure, please contact Dr. Hiatt’s office today.
