What is Otoplasty?

Ear aesthetics is a common practice. Otoplasty does not reduce hearing, and Otoplasty aesthetics does not affect hearing positively or negatively. Instead of living with deformities in the ears, having ear aesthetics with the help of a specialist will be the right move that will add self-confidence for life. When it is said what is ear aesthetics, the public usually answers it as the name given to the aesthetic made from the Otoplasty problem. But ear aesthetics is called otoplasty in medical language. In order to have ear aesthetics in congenital or subsequent deformities of the ear, there must be problems such as prominent, too large or too small, or larger or smaller than the earlobe should be.

How is Otoplasty Surgery Performed?

In ear aesthetic surgery, general anesthesia is used in children and local anesthesia is usually used in adults. Ear aesthetic surgery takes an average of 45 minutes. It is not a painful procedure. Ear cartilages are shaped with permanent stitches in accordance with the curves that should be, the angle and distance between the ear and the skull are normalized. In ear aesthetics, there is no visible scar because the incision is made behind the ear, from the fold where it joins the skull.

Otoplasty surgery, which is solved with easier and simpler methods than in the past, is treated with the right time and the right techniques. The surgical operation, which never carries serious risks, is performed using either local or general anesthesia, taking into account the age of the patient. Although this surgery process varies according to the condition of the deformity in the ear, it generally covers 45 to 90 minutes. Depending on the ear structure, surgical intervention takes place in front of or behind the ear. In the ear surgery plan prepared in accordance with the basis of the problem, the ear cartilages are shaped and positioned backwards so that they have a normal ear appearance. Since this process will be completely painless, it does not cause any side effects in children. At the end of the surgery, special bands are attached to the ear for 10 or 15 days. The incisions opened during the surgery are never obvious. Because the incisions will remain behind the ear.

Things to Consider After Otoplasty Surgery
