Ear Reshaping Cosmetic Surgery (Otoplasty)
The Otoplasty also know as ear surgery is cosmetic
surgery to make protruding ears less prominent by making the
ears lie closer to the head, or reducing the size of large
ears. Most patients who have Otoplasty ear surgery, are
between the age of 6 and 15 years old. Prominent ears my
make young children the butt of other children jokes, so it
is important to correct prominent ears early in life, if the
child views his/hers “sticking out ears” as a problem. For
this reason young children may be able to have the Otoplasty,
ear surgery on the national health; however the waiting list
can be rather long. Ear surgery, Otoplasty is also a common
cosmetic surgery procedure for adults.
The Otoplasty, ear surgery cosmetic procedure is a
relatively safe surgery, and of course the associated risks
are reduced with an experienced board certified cosmetic
surgeon. Risks specific to Otoplasty, ear surgery, but are
extremely rare are blood clots under the skin of the ear,
these blood clots may dissolve naturally or may need
withdrawing by a syringe by the plastic surgeon. There is
also the slight risk of an infection after surgery, but this
can usually be corrected with antibiotics.
The Otoplasty Ear Surgery Procedure
Otoplasty ear surgery is usually carried out on both ears
to achieve a more asymmetrical look to the ears, even when
it is only one ear that is protruding. Otoplasty, ear
surgery is usually carried out by the plastic surgeon under
a general anaesthetic, if the patient is a child or a local
anaesthetic if on an adult. The plastic surgeons technique
for Otoplasty, ear surgery is to make small incision in the
back of the ear and sculpt the ear cartilage to bend it
towards to the head. Sometimes the plastic surgeon may need
to remove ear cartilage to create a more natural look to the
ear. Stitches may also be used to fix the ears in the new
shape. Another technique used by plastic surgeons for
Otoplasty, ear surgery is where no ear cartilage is removed
but stitches are used to fold the ear cartilage on itself to
reform the ear.
Otoplasty, ear surgery usually takes the plastic surgeon
1 hour to complete, and after surgery the patients head will
be bandaged and this needs to be worn for 1 or 2 weeks to
keep the ears in their new position as they heal. There may
be slight pain after the Otoplasty, ear surgery procedure,
and this can be relieved by mild pain medication. There is
usually no need to stay overnight at the cosmetic surgery
clinic after Otoplasty, ear surgery, but of course if you
wish to stay at the cosmetic surgery clinic, this can be
arranged.
The stitches after Otoplasty, ear surgery are usually
removed between 7 to 10 days after surgery, by the plastic
surgeon at the cosmetic surgery clinic. After the removal of
the bandage, it is important to refrain from scratching the
ear, so as not to introduce infection. It is also necessary
to wrap the ears at night in a bandage to protect them, for
a month after surgery. Any activities that might disturb the
ear should be avoided for at least 6 weeks. It is important
for patients to follow the plastic surgeons, after
instructions following ear surgery.
Most patients after Otoplasty ear surgery are very happy
with the result, and find a new self confidence as they are
not self conscious about protruding ears.
Cosmetic surgery can also improve other ear problems such
as “lop ear”, “cupped ear”, “shell ear” and a stretched
earlobes. Plastic surgeons can also rebuild a new ear for
patients, who have been involved in an accident or born
without an ear.
