Our Otoplasty and Ear Surgery Services

Ear reshaping, revision and repair performed by Dr. Grossman for patients traveling from Long Island.

Otoplasty Surgery

Cartilage reshaping that sets prominent ears closer to the head or balances uneven ears, usually under local anesthesia, with daily routines resumed within two to three days. The incision typically sits in the crease behind the ear, where the scar stays well hidden, and the aim is natural-looking ears in proportion with your face.

Ear Deformity Repair

Repair of torn earlobes, trauma and piercing damage with fine sutures or small incisions, typically under local anesthesia and completed as a same-day procedure in Brooklyn.

Ear Surgery Consultation

A private visit with Dr. Grossman: an ear examination, photographs, imaging of the likely result, a review of any earlier surgery and a clear recommendation.

Thoughtful Surgical Planning

Ear Reshaping Worth the Trip

Otoplasty and ear surgery call for close attention to cartilage shape, symmetry and how the ears frame the face. Dr. Leonard Grossman plans each correction with imaging, performs it under local anesthesia and gives clear aftercare: no strenuous activity for five days, protecting the ears from injury, and a beanie or sweatband if needed. Patients from Long Island travel to his Brooklyn surgery center for every step, from consultation to follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does otoplasty cost?

Otoplasty cost varies significantly by geographic location and from one pair of ears to another, so Dr. Leonard Grossman sets a quote only after examining your ears in Brooklyn. The main variables are how much cartilage reshaping each ear needs, the extent of correction (one ear or both, a first operation or a revision of earlier surgery) and whether you want twilight sedation on top of local anesthesia. Since the procedure is outpatient, there is no hospital bill, and financing options are available. Long Island patients should also plan for the trip in for consultation, surgery and follow-up.
