A refined ear reshaping procedure designed to improve balance, proportion, and confidence for both children and adults.
Restore Facial Harmony and Confidence Through Otoplasty
Prominent or asymmetrical ears can draw unwanted attention and affect self-confidence at any age. Otoplasty in Miami is designed to create a more balanced ear shape that complements overall facial harmony while maintaining natural appearance and proportion.
Dr. Anthony Bared approaches ear reshaping with precision and restraint, focusing on subtle structural refinement that avoids an overcorrected or artificial result.
What Is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes, repositions, or reduces the size of the ears to improve their appearance and proportion relative to the face.
It is commonly used to correct protruding ears, asymmetry, or structural irregularities present from birth or developed over time. The procedure can be performed on both children and adults once the ear cartilage has reached sufficient stability, typically around age six or older.
The Benefits of Otoplasty
Improved Facial Balance: Ear reshaping in Miami helps bring the ears into better proportion with other facial features.
Reduced Ear Protrusion: Otoplasty can set back ears that stick out noticeably from the head.
Enhanced Self-Confidence: Many patients feel more comfortable and less self-conscious after surgery.
Long-Lasting Results: Structural cartilage reshaping provides durable, often permanent improvement.
Natural-Looking Outcomes: Techniques are designed to preserve natural contours and avoid an overcorrected appearance.

I searched extensively for doctors across Florida and Latin America before choosing Dr. Bared, and I’m so glad I did. He was the most reasonably priced given his level of expertise, and I was extremely impressed by how many years he’s been practicing, his dedication to research, and his use of updated techniques. He works with the natural structure of your nose rather than against it, and the results are incredibly natural and beautiful.
I went in asking for a Barbie/doll nose, fully trusting that he would still deliver something natural—and he exceeded my expectations. The result couldn’t have been more perfect. Even Dr. Bared himself was impressed with the quality of his work. I can now go about my daily life without worrying about how my nose looks, and the entire experience truly boosted my self-confidence.
The office staff was fantastic with communication, especially since I was traveling from out of town. I had a brief meeting with Dr. Bared the day before, and on the day of the procedure everything was smooth and comfortable. The procedure only took a few hours, the doctors were attentive, and aftercare instructions were very clear. The brace came off in just a week with minimal swelling and bruising, and the results were immediate.
I highly recommend this office—not just Dr. Bared, but the entire nursing and support staff as well. Absolutely worth the price tag.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Bared and his team. Choosing him for my rhinoplasty was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I am beyond happy with my results!
From Danette, who made the entire process smooth and stress-free, to Fatima the sweetest MA, who was always so kind and reassuring, every interaction was exceptional. A special thank you to Richard, the anesthesiologist, for not only taking great care of me but also keeping my mom updated throughout surgery and checking on me afterward. That level of compassion meant so much to us.
Dr. Bared is truly outstanding—talented, attentive, and genuinely caring. I felt confident in his hands from day one, and my results have exceeded my expectations. I am incredibly grateful to the entire team for making this experience so positive. Thank you all!! ❤️

Dr.Bared is hands down the best surgeon. I will recommend him for life. He did my primary rhinoplasty and gave me the most gorgeous nose with such natural results. I still look like myself. I am over the moon and so in love. My friends and family compliment my nose everyday. I am very honest and open about my rhinoplasty and when I tell people I have my nose done they say it’s the best they’ve seen. They ask who my surgeon is because they have considered a nose job.
Dr.Bared was kind, gentle and understanding of my questions and concerns. He completely listened to what I wanted my results to be and exceeded my expectations. I had zero pain after surgery and recovered extremely well.
His team of nurses were absolutely lovely and amazing as well. Huge thank you to his anesthetist Richard Gonzales, he texted my friend who waited for me during my surgery the entire time. Giving her constant updates for the duration of my surgery.
My first surgery ever and first time being under anesthesia. 10/10 experience.

World class surgeon!!! I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Bared and his entire team. From the very first consultation, I felt genuinely cared for. The staff is incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive. Dr Bared himself is amazing. He’s not only highly skilled, also has experience as an ENT which made me personally feel more comfortable especially since he would be working in my nose but also very realistic and honest about what works with your anatomy. I really appreciated that he didn’t promise anything unnatural or overdone he took the time to explain what would suit my face best and made sure my expectations were grounded and achievable.
I’m now only 2 weeks post-op, and I’m already so impressed with my results. Even with some swelling still present, my nose looks refined, natural, and perfectly suited to my face.
Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Bared if you’re considering ethnic (What I did) or traditional rhinoplasty. If you want extremely natural looking results, go to him!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience. My daughter recently had a rhinoplasty, and from start to finish, the care she received was exceptional. Dr. Bareds bedside manner is truly outstanding—he made her feel completely comfortable, listened carefully to her concerns, and took the time to explain every step in a way that put both of us at ease.
What really stood out was his incredible attention to detail. He approached the procedure with such precision and thoughtfulness, making sure the results would look natural and perfectly suited to her features. It never felt rushed—he genuinely cares about his patients and the outcome.
The results are beautiful, subtle, and exactly what she hoped for. More importantly, her confidence has soared. We are so grateful to have found a surgeon who combines technical skill with such warmth and professionalism. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.

We are beyond grateful to Dr. Anthony Bared for the exceptional care and skill he provided to my son (Daniel Perez). After a wrestling accident, my son suffered a nasal injury that left him unable to breathe properly. Dr. Bared performed rhinoplasty surgery on my son to repair the damage to his nose, and the results have been truly life-changing for him. From our very first consultation, Dr. Bared was compassionate, thorough, and incredibly reassuring.
The rhinoplasty surgery went smoothly, and the results have already exceeded our expectations. Just one week after surgery, my son is so happy with the results and most importantly, he can finally breathe again. The improvement in both function and appearance in such a short time is truly remarkable.
I also want to highlight how amazing the entire team was. Everyone was kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the process. A very special thank you to Dr. Richard Gonzalez, the anesthesiologist, who made me feel, as a mom, that my son was truly in the best hands possible. His calm and reassuring presence meant more to me than words can express.
We are incredibly thankful for the care, professionalism, and outstanding results. I highly recommend Dr. Bared and his team to anyone needing functional or reconstructive nasal surgery. He is truly an artist!

This was my first ever surgery and first time being put under. I have been wanting a rhinoplasty for years. I came across Dr. Bared as one of the top doctors in Miami. From the moment I had my consultation to the day of my cast removal, everyone in the office was so kind and helpful. I was super nervous the day of surgery, but Rick, the anesthesiologist, was one of the nicest people ever. He made me instantly so much more calm from the call the night before to the next day meeting him. After the surgery was over, I was only slightly swollen with minimal bruising. There was virtually no pain throughout my recovery, just some pressure in my nose and face. The day of cast and stitches removal was also very smooth, and I was so excited. My results were exactly what I wanted and more. I am so extremely happy with Dr. Bared’s work and how he made my nose look still like me! He lifted and shaped my nose to look stunning. I honestly could not ask for a better experience. Thank you so much!

What to Expect: The Otoplasty Process
Private Consultation
Dr. Bared evaluates ear structure, discusses goals, and determines whether otoplasty is appropriate.
Personalized Surgical Plan
A customized plan is developed based on ear anatomy and the desired level of correction.
Procedure Day
Otoplasty is performed under local, intravenous, or general anesthesia, depending on patient age and complexity.
Initial Healing Phase
The ears are protected with dressings or a headband, and early swelling and tenderness gradually improve over time.
The results of ear surgery in Miami are long-lasting and often permanent, with ears maintaining their new shape after healing is complete. Initial swelling and dressings are expected in the early recovery period, followed by gradual refinement over several weeks.
Patients are typically advised to avoid pressure on the ears and wear protective headbands as directed to support healing and maintain surgical results.
Patients choose Dr. Anthony Bared for ear pinning in Miami because of his advanced facial plastic surgery training and commitment to natural, balanced outcomes.
Dual Board Certification
Dr. Bared is certified by both the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology.
Facial Plastic Surgery Expertise
His specialized focus on facial anatomy allows for precise, structurally sound ear reshaping.
Natural, Conservative Technique
Otoplasty is performed with an emphasis on subtle correction that preserves natural ear contour and avoids an artificial appearance.
Experience Across Age Groups

Frequently Asked Questions
01 At what age can a child have otoplasty?
Otoplasty is typically performed once the ears have reached near full development, usually around age six or older. At this stage, the cartilage is stable enough for correction, and treatment may also help reduce unwanted social attention during early school years.
02 Is otoplasty permanent?
Yes, otoplasty results are generally long-lasting and often permanent. Once the ear cartilage is reshaped and set in its new position, it typically maintains its form for life, although subtle age-related changes can still occur over time.
03 Will otoplasty leave visible scars?
Incisions are carefully placed behind the ear or within natural creases to minimize visibility. In most cases, any scarring fades significantly over time and becomes difficult to notice once healing is complete.
04 How long does recovery from otoplasty take?
Initial healing occurs over the first one to two weeks, during which a dressing or headband is typically worn to support the ears. Most swelling and tenderness improve within a few weeks, while full healing continues over several months.
05 Is otoplasty painful?
Discomfort after otoplasty is usually mild to moderate and can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication. Most patients report pressure or tenderness rather than significant pain during the early recovery phase.
06 Can both ears be corrected at the same time?
Yes, otoplasty is almost always performed on both ears during the same procedure to ensure symmetry and balanced results, even if only one ear appears more prominent than the other.
07 Will otoplasty affect hearing?
No, otoplasty only changes the external shape, position, or proportion of the ears. It does not involve the inner ear structures and therefore does not impact hearing.
08 Can adults get otoplasty, or is it only for children?
Otoplasty is commonly performed in both children and adults. Adult patients often seek the procedure for long-standing concerns about ear prominence, asymmetry, or shape, and can achieve excellent, natural-looking results.
