Ear Procedures

Refinement, Restoration, and Facial Balance

The ears play an important role in overall facial balance and proportion, yet concerns involving ear shape, projection, or damage can often create self-consciousness or asymmetry.

At You Are Beautiful, ear procedures are approached with precision and attention to natural facial harmony to create refined, balanced, and natural-looking results.

Whether addressing prominent ears, torn earlobes, or changes from aging or jewelry wear, treatment plans are highly individualized based on anatomy and goals.

A Personalized Surgical Approach

Every patient’s anatomy and concerns are unique.

During your consultation, Dr. Jae Kim evaluates:

  • Ear shape and projection
  • Symmetry and balance
  • Earlobe structure and tissue quality
  • Facial proportions
  • Prior trauma or stretching

This allows for a customized treatment plan designed to improve balance and restore natural appearance while preserving facial harmony.

Our Ear Procedures

Otoplasty

Correction of Ear Projection and Shape

Otoplasty is designed to improve the shape, projection, or prominence of the ears to create better facial balance and proportion.

This procedure is commonly performed for:

  • Prominent ears
  • Ear asymmetry
  • Structural irregularities
  • Desire for improved ear contour and positioning

At You Are Beautiful, otoplasty is approached conservatively to create natural-looking refinement without an overcorrected appearance.

Earlobe Repair

Restoration of Torn, Stretched, or Damaged Earlobes

Earlobe repair is designed to restore the shape and integrity of the earlobe following tearing, stretching, trauma, or long-term jewelry wear.

This procedure may address:

  • Torn earlobes
  • Enlarged piercing holes
  • Gauged or stretched earlobes
  • Asymmetry or thinning of the earlobe

Earlobe repair is typically performed using refined surgical techniques designed to minimize visible scarring while restoring a more natural contour.

  • Preserve facial harmony
  • Improve symmetry and balance

  • Create refined, natural-looking results

I had a great experience with Dr. Kim!!! He did his best to make me feel comfortable during the procedure and explained the whole process to me beforehand. The entire staff were also so nice! You can tell they all get along and have a great work culture. Sally R.
I love this office . First and foremost Dr. Kim has the most kind, heart warming staff working with him. Secondly, I have had several consultations with Dr. Kim regarding procedures that I am considering. During the consults he really takes time to understand my needs and give honest advice along with visuals of what I would like to achieve. His work is so precise to what I aim to achieve and is totally on point 💯 to satisfaction. Dr. Kim and his staff are vextremly friendly, patient and professional. I am definitely becoming a regular here. Must try the Diamond glow facial and other skin rejuvenating procedure! Nikki P.
I really enjoyed my visit to Dr. Kim’s office. From the moment that I walked in, the staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Dr. Kim is very educated and easy to talk to. He really took the time to listen and to try to make sure you knew what would be best for you. Another bonus is he brings his cute little dog to the office with him. I would100% recommend him and his staff. Pam K.
Visiting Dr.Kim’s office has been a wonderful experience thus far. His staff makes me feel happy and assured at every visit. Of course, the man of the hour has always been calm, humble and tends to humor me at every comment and answers every question that has came up in our visits. I believe I have made the right choice to receive Dr. Kim’s medical expertise as being under his hands, he has been gentle during the operation as well as produced excellent results. (Biggest plus, I have never felt rushed under his care lol you’re the bomb Dr. Kim!!!! Jennifer C.
After interviewing several physicians I decided to go with Dr. Kim. Professionalism is extremely important to me but so is the character of the physician, the attitude, and personality. He made me feel comfortable, he was confident but not arrogant. I trusted his expertise and I was not disappointed. Thank you Dr. Kim! Judy G.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kim for Asian eyelid surgery (upper eyelid blepharoplasty)!!! My results turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Dr. Kim really took the time to listen to me and what I wanted. Together, we carefully planned out where the eyelid crease would be, and it is exactly where we had planned! I also had a quick and somehow painless recovery, which I’m sure much of that can be owed to his excellent surgical technique. I feel so much more beautiful and confident after this surgery. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner in life. Thank you, Dr. Kim, for quite literally changing my life, and thank you to his wonderful staff who made this such a pleasant and efficient experience! JA
