Ear and Neck plastic Surgery

Ear and neck plastic surgery focuses on improving the shape, balance, and overall appearance of the ears and neck while maintaining natural-looking results. Dr. Raed Rtail provides personalized treatment options in Lebanon based on each patient’s facial proportions, anatomy, and individual concerns.

Ear plastic surgery may include procedures such as otoplasty to reshape, reposition, or improve the symmetry of the ears. Neck plastic surgery may include neck lift procedures designed to improve loose skin, neck contour, and definition around the jawline and upper neck.

These procedures may also complement other facial plastic surgery treatments when appropriate. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient after a clinical evaluation, with the goal of achieving balanced results that complement the face and preserve a natural appearance.

Neck Lift

A Neck Lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the contour and firmness of the neck by tightening loose skin, removing excess fat, and redefining the jawline. As we age, the neck area often develops sagging skin, muscle banding, and reduced definition, which can affect overall facial harmony. A neck lift restores a smoother, more youthful profile while maintaining natural proportions.

The procedure may involve tightening underlying muscles, removing localized fat deposits, and eliminating excess skin to create a refined and balanced neckline. Incisions are strategically placed to remain discreet, ensuring minimal visible scarring. Recovery typically includes mild swelling and temporary tightness, with most patients resuming normal activities within one to two weeks.

When performed by an experienced facial plastic surgeon, a neck lift provides long-lasting improvement in contour, confidence, and overall facial balance.

Otoplasty

Otoplasty is the specific surgical procedure used to reshape and reposition the ears. It is most commonly performed to correct prominent or protruding ears by bringing them closer to the head, improving facial symmetry and proportion.

This procedure involves reshaping the ear cartilage and adjusting its position to create a more natural contour. Otoplasty can be performed on both children (typically over the age of five) and adults who wish to improve the appearance of their ears.

The surgery is usually performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the case. Recovery is generally smooth, with mild swelling and temporary discomfort during the first few days. A supportive headband may be recommended to maintain the new ear position while healing.

Otoplasty aims to provide subtle, balanced results that enhance facial harmony without appearing artificial. When properly planned and executed, it delivers long-lasting improvement in both appearance and self-confidence.

Otoplasty is carefully customized according to each patient’s ear anatomy and desired outcome. The surgical technique may involve reshaping, folding, or repositioning the cartilage to achieve a more natural contour. Incisions are typically placed behind the ear to minimize visible scarring and maintain aesthetic discretion. The procedure focuses on creating symmetry between both ears while preserving natural proportions. Long-term results are stable, allowing patients to enjoy improved confidence and facial harmony for years to come
