NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS

Ear Surgery (otoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that is performed for patients who want to improve the appearance of ears that are uneven, protrude, or are disproportionate to their face. Large, uneven, or misshapen ears can be caused by a variety of reasons, but are most commonly due to genetic factors or as a result of blunt force trauma. At Lake Norman Oral & Facial Surgery, we offer a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, specializing in facial reconstruction, facial surgery, corrective jaw surgery, obstructive sleep apnea, and wisdom tooth removal.

Words cannot express enough, how wonderful, caring and professional Dr. Haigney and his staff are! After being rushed to the Huntersville hospital with an orbital fracture, broken nose and other facial damage, Dr. Haigney rushed me into surgery (on his day off I must add) and corrected all my problems. I only wish all doctors cared as much about their patients and their recovery as Dr. Haigney and his staff did. Thank you so much for everything! Your attention and compassion has helped me make my recovery as comfortable as possible. 5 star service!
