Spring is here and I hope everyone has been relishing this fabulous weather! It's great to be running outdoors again and enjoying the sun. Please make sure to wear plenty of sunscreen and reapply during prolonged hours outdoors.
I was recently informed by many patients and friends about American Idol contestant James Durbin who has protruding ears. This is an inherited condition that can have some difficult social consequences for children during their school years. Otoplasty, or pinning of the ears, is a straightforward outpatient procedure with a short downtime, little discomfort, and can make a tremendous impact on an individual's life.

I hope you enjoy this new rhinoplasty video. This was a difficult nose as is evident by this patient's weak, collapsed cartilage and airway compromise. He's looking and breathing great now!
