Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the shape, position, or proportion of the ears. This surgery is often performed to correct protruding ears or other ear deformities, providing a more natural and harmonious appearance.
Types of Otoplasty:
Changing the Shape and Position of the Ear: This procedure involves reshaping the cartilage to create a more natural form and correcting issues such as overly large, protruding ears, or other deformities.
Ear Lobe Surgery: Corrects issues with the earlobe, such as torn, enlarged, or stretched earlobes, as well as other deformities.
Technique:
Otoplasty can be performed using various techniques, depending on the specific goals and the patient’s anatomy.
Recovery Period:
The recovery process after otoplasty typically involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which may last from a few days to several weeks.
It is important to have a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to thoroughly discuss both the patient’s goals and medical history, and to determine the best possible outcome of the surgical procedure.
