Prominent Ear Operation /Otoplasty
|
 Ear is a crucial organ both carrying aesthetic and functional importance on body. Different shape disorders may form on ears including deformities and misshapings when born. Otoplasty generally changes the size and curve of ears, make them smaller or get them closer to the head.
The right ages to correct the prominent ears by operation is between four and 15 years old. It is recommended to correct this problem before the child starts to school due to psychological effects but the procedure can be performed in following years.
Children are operated under general anaesthesia and adults under local anaesthesia in the hospital. Otoplasty operations last for one or one and a half hour. In complicated cases this time can get longer. Operation technique varies due to the problem in the ear. In the operation pinna is opened, ear cartilage is reshaped and pinna is lifted back.
No accomodation
In this operation accomodation in the hospital is not necessary. Ears are bandaged for three days. After the bandages are removed it is appropriate to take a shower. Following the operation slight edema and cyanosis can occur, this goes back to normal in 1-2 weeks. It takes a few months to see the permanent results, in this period the patient is satisfied with the look.
Procedures reshaping ears not only corrects the physical appearance of ears also provides improvement in the psychological status of the patient.
