Otoplasty (Prominent Ear Surgery)
Otoplasty / Ear Surgery in Istanbul,Turkey
The earlobes located on both sides of your head directly influence the appearance of your face. If they are excessively large, small, or curved, they disrupt the symmetry of the face and create an unattractive appearance. Children, in particular, may be highly sensitive to what they perceive as a significant deformity. Even young children with distinct ear features are frequently subjected to relentless teasing or bullying, impacting not only their overall self-esteem but also their subsequent social development.
Ear Aesthetics/Correction
The ear, an organ crucial for hearing, also plays a significant role in determining facial appearance. The outer ear’s most noticeable part, known as the ‘pinna,’ can be easily corrected through a simple surgical intervention. In our country, cosmetic ear surgery is predominantly performed on children. It’s important to note that ear aesthetics do not impact hearing ability. The procedure focuses on enhancing the ear’s shape without causing any harm to hearing functionality. Before surgery, a comprehensive ear examination is conducted, identifying the cartilage responsible for the perceived disorder and supported by photographic analysis. The surgical intervention specifically addresses the identified cartilage. With our clinic’s extensive experience in various facial and ear aesthetic procedures, we prioritize client satisfaction and happiness. Explore the benefits of Otoplasty – Ear Correction in Istanbul.
What should be considered before the ear surgery?
Individuals opting for cosmetic ear surgery should communicate their expectations clearly with the surgeon. It is essential to avoid aspirin, other blood-thinning medications, smoking, and alcohol both before and after the procedure to minimize potential complications. If you experience symptoms such as fever, sore throat, or discomfort, it’s crucial to inform your doctor prior to the surgery. Additionally, wearing a front-buttoned or zippered top during clothing changes is recommended to prevent any inadvertent damage to the ears.
What should be taken into consideration after the ear aesthetic?
After undergoing ear aesthetic surgery, a band is applied around the patient’s head, encompassing the ear. Avoid any water contact for the initial 2 days post-surgery. This tape should be kept in place for a week, after which it can be safely removed. During the first month, it is common to experience numbness and heightened sensitivity to touch in the ear area. However, these sensations gradually diminish over time.
Recovery Time for Prominent Ear Surgery
Otoplasty surgery typically involves incisions made behind the ear, resulting in no visible scars. Following prominent ear surgery, the patient is usually discharged after a few hours or a day of observation, depending on the type and impact of the anesthesia. Due to the simplicity of the procedure and the absence of stitches, healing is rapid. Approximately 1-2 weeks post-surgery, the bands are removed, completing the healing process. The ear transforms from a prominent appearance to one that is aesthetically harmonious and proportional.
Throughout the recovery period, there is no hearing loss or weakness. Following the doctor’s advice, the ear area can be gently showered without getting wet 1-2 days after the operation, and daily activities can be resumed. It is essential to exercise caution during the healing process by protecting the ear and head area against external impacts.
