What Is Otoplasty?
Protruding, uneven, or disproportionately large ears can significantly impact one's confidence, particularly during childhood. Ear reshaping or ear pinning, also called otoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical technique designed to adjust the size and shape of the ears to a more conventional appearance. Dr. Nicholas K. Howland, a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Draper, UT, has extensively assisted individuals in regaining their confidence by correcting their ear concerns through this procedure. Otoplasty at Howland Plastic Surgery enables people to confidently reveal their faces from any viewpoint, irrespective of the ear's original condition. If concerns about ear size or shape are affecting your or your child's self-esteem, reach out to our practice for a consultation with Dr. Howland and learn more about ear recontouring surgery and the confidence that will come with it.
How Is Otoplasty Performed?
Otoplasty is completed using a form of anesthesia. In most cases, the incision is made behind the ear or within the inner ear folds. During this procedure, cartilage will be manipulated to create a new contour and natural-looking appearance. It is common for both ears to be altered during the surgical procedure to ensure they appear even. Once the ears are surgically corrected, the incisions are safely stitched together with sutures and wrapped so they stay protected.

Howland Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft.
AMAZING!!! I interviewed 4 Plastic Surgeons before I met with Dr Howland and the minute I met him I knew he was my Surgeon. Best decision I could have made. My body reacted poorly to my Surgery...nothing to do with Dr Howland. His whole Office jumped in. The Nurses are TOP NOTCH...Jenn my girl..Avery who came to the Hospital to assist with a procedure...and everyone else even if not mentioned by name. Melissa at the Front Desk is like a Girlfriend. They have the best formula for choosing a Team. The other Plastic Surgeons that came to help...and called to check up on me. Dr Howland is always available by cell phone. No matter where or what he is doing Despite what happened I LOVE my results..BETTER than I had dreamed...would go back here for anything else, and refer anyone I know here!!! You feel like Family here...not a Patient Thank You to Everyone Lorrie Tomac

Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again.
