Dr. Gardner, Dr. Baccaro, and Dr. Crespo lend their remarkable surgical skills and eye for aesthetics to ear reshaping surgery to help patients obtain the ears they desire. Dr. Gardner gained considerable experience in ear reshaping while serving as Director of Pediatric Plastic Surgery at a Children’s Hospital, while Dr. Baccaro trained at the prestigious Houston Methodist Hospital, and Dr. Crespo obtained his Medical Doctorate at The University of Connecticut School of Medicine. They take great pride in helping patients throughout the Naples area meet their cosmetic goals by altering the size and/or shape of the ears to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing and balanced look.
Our surgeons firmly believe that every cosmetic surgery procedure should be tailored to meet the individual concerns and goals of the patient. Thus, they always personally meet with each of their respective patients to evaluate their ears and discuss their concerns and goals for ear reshaping. Using this information, they create a personalized treatment plan that is as unique as the patient.
Naples Plastic Surgery offers two techniques of otoplasty. The first technique begins with a small incision in the back of the ear, followed by surgical extraction and reshaping of the cartilage in order to pull the ears closer to the head. The second technique maintains the cartilage but extracts excess skin and uses sutures to shape the cartilage to help patients with prominent ears. In addition to cartilage and/or skin extraction, our surgeons may use non-removable stitches in order to help the ears heal properly in their new position.
Dr. Gardner, Dr. Baccaro, and Dr. Crespo also treat patients with malformed ears that have been damaged due to trauma. To ensure symmetry, they often perform otoplasty on both ears, even if only one ear has been damaged.
Following the procedure, our surgeons will dress patients’ heads in thick bandages in order to minimize swelling and promote quicker recovery periods. Patients are typically able to remove the dressings after one to two days, and need one to two weeks of downtime before returning to their daily activities.
Certainly, the organization gets a 100% score. However, that score is contingent upon the individual providing the score.
As a concierge physician I can tell you that my patients have extremely high expectations. My personal expectations were similarly high, and were surpassed on all counts by the staff, and the quality of the perioperative… and operative experience. The office is immaculate and the communication skills of Dr. Gardner are outstanding.
I could not be happier, and more comfortable referring to this office. Read more “100% Score”
I am thrilled. My tummy has bothered me my entire life. Having Dr. Baccaro take that insecurity away in an afternoon is the most freeing and exhilarating feeling 🙂 Thank you to the entire team!
Dr Baccaro is a gifted surgeon, with remarkable, state of the art, skills to perform complex surgery.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer, I opted to go for a full bilateral mastectomy combined with reconstruction. I chose Dr. Baccaro not only because he was referred as the reconstruction subject matter expert in Florida, but… because paired with Lisa, his nurse, and Amy, they demonstrated a genuine compassion and took the time to understand my situation with all emotions I was going thru. Their detailed explanation of the pros & cons of surgery, the implants, the procedure itself and the various stages of the recovery reassured me. Trust me, I had a very long list of questions and concerns!
The surgery was a great success and the recovery went very well. The results are spectacular and much better than I originally expected!
Dr. Baccaro and Lisa are without doubts, experts in their domain, therefore they recommended and performed what was best for my situation. What makes them different is that they have truly demonstrated they care for me, as a person not just as a patient. The entire team, Dr. Baccaro, Lisa and Amy, are wonderful human beings filled with kindness and compassion.
I highly recommended Dr. Baccaro and his team! Read more “Remarkable Results”
Dr. Gardner is a terrific Plastic Surgeon! He was highly recommended by a friend in Naples as “the best” and she was so right. I went to see him due to a droopy right eyelid which sometimes happens as we age. He knew exactly how to fix the eyelid muscle (a procedure he performs frequently)… I immediately felt confident he was the right choice. I decided that since I was going to have this surgery and have to recover anyway I would have him fix some other things that have also drooped on my face. He performed a partial brow lift, and corrected both eyelids. I look refreshed… not redone. He corrects with a subtle hand. The entire experience was great, from the wonderful state of the art surgery facility, to the committed staff and of course Dr Gardner himself. If I could give them all six stars I would.
