Prominent Ear Surgery
Prominent ear aesthetic surgery is performed on the ear pinna to provide a more natural and attractive appearance. Anyone who is dissatisfied with the appearance of their ears can undergo prominent ear surgery (otoplasty). Various otoplasty techniques can be used to achieve a natural and satisfying result in cases such as ear size and prominent features (absence or weakening of antihelix and conchal hypertrophy) to give a more natural and attractive look. The ideal age for this procedure is 5, especially for young children in the pre-school period.
How Is Prominent Ear Surgery Performed?
Otoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The typical operation lasts for 1-2 hours. An incision is made behind the ear, and specific stitching techniques are used to reshape the ear. The goal is to achieve a naturally aesthetic ear, and cartilage excision can be performed based on the patient's condition.
Does It Leave Scars After the Surgery?
The incision made behind the ear during the surgery is stitched and closed. Since it is located behind the ear, there can be a thin, inconspicuous scar.
What Is the Recovery Period Like?
Post-surgery dressing lasts for an average of 10 days. A doctor's check-up is typically done on the 10th day. After the surgery, it is recommended that the patient sleeps with an elastic headband at night for a short period.
