Beauty in Every Angle
In order to create balanced proportions, Dr. Renee Burke gently repositions the ears and brings greater harmony to your facial features.
It’s easy to be distracted by ears that appear prominent or draw attention away from your natural facial balance. Through our otoplasty in South Barrington, Dr. Burke can create refined results that restore your symmetry, enhance your confidence, and allow your features to shine without distraction.
The Otoplasty Process
Consultation
A private consultation is the first step, where Dr. Burke listens carefully and evaluates your ear shape and overall facial harmony. After discussing your concerns in depth, she outlines the best approach to create a more natural ear position. Together, you establish a plan tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Procedure
You’ll be under general anesthesia during surgery. Dr. Burke gently reshapes the cartilage and repositions the ears closer to the head. She carefully places the incisions behind the ears to remain discreet, supporting a natural result that appears seamless from all angles.
Recovery
Healing includes several days of rest followed by a gradual return to daily routines. Avoid strenuous activity for 2 weeks, and protect the ears as swelling decreases. As you recover, the new positioning becomes more defined, revealing a balanced appearance that reflects your desired look.

Pre-Care Instructions
Cleanse your hair thoroughly before surgery and avoid applying products near the ears or scalp.
Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and anti-inflammatory medications in the days leading up to your procedure to support optimal healing.
Post-Care Instructions
Follow your care instructions closely and keep the treatment area clean and dry to protect the incision sites behind the ears.
Refrain from strenuous activities, including lifting or bending. Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling.
Attend all your follow-up visits with Dr. Burke so she can ensure proper healing and provide guidance throughout your recovery.
