An Otoplasty Can Improve Your Self-Confidence

If you were teased in school about your noticeable ears, then you might want to consider an otoplasty. An otoplasty is a procedure to correct ear prominence or asymmetry. An otoplasty can be performed at any age, whether you’re seven years old or fifty-seven.

At Rowley Plastic Surgery in Lubbock, TX Dr. Jane Rowley has the experience and expertise to correct your ear shape with an otoplasty. Dr. Rowley recommends that children with larger than normal ears should wait to have an otoplasty until they are old enough to discuss the procedure with their parents.

In this procedure, an incision is made behind the ear, and internal sutures are placed to reshape the contour of the ear cartilage and to bring the ears closer to the head. Besides a head dressing for a week, the recovery is fairly straightforward with little to no complications.


If you’re looking for a plastic surgeon who will put you first, look no further than Lubbock. Plastic Surgery offices are available all over the world, but Dr. Jane Rowley is the only surgeon with the expertise, knowledge, and honesty who can get you the results you’re looking for.

Different Types of Breast Implants

Before having a breast augmentation, you should know about the various types of breast implants available. At Rowley Plastic Surgery in Lubbock , Dr. Jane Rowley offers her patients the following options: ●        Saline: These breast implants are inserted empty, and then filled with sterile salt water once they're in place. This allows a plastic surgeon to adjust the size of the implants during surgery to achieve better symmetry. If a saline breast implant ruptures, the implant will deflate, which makes it easy to detect a leak. ●        Silicone: These implants are prefilled with thick and sticky silicone gel, which feels a lot like your natural breast tissue. If you get a silent rupture in your silicone breast implants, it’s hard to detect the leak. Leaking silicone gel isn't thought to cause any damage to the body or any long-term health problems. ●        Ideal Implant: The Id...
