What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, often referred to as ear reshaping surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the ears. This surgery can address a range of concerns, such as prominent or protruding ears, irregular ear shape, or deformities. Otoplasty is suitable for individuals of all ages, including children and adults, and can provide natural-looking results that harmonise with your facial features.
Why Choose Otoplasty?
- Correct Ear Prominence: Otoplasty can effectively address protruding ears by repositioning them closer to the head, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
- Enhance Facial Symmetry: Misshapen or asymmetrical ears can be reshaped and refined to promote better facial harmony and balance.
- Boost Self-Esteem: By improving the appearance of the ears, otoplasty can help you feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.
The Otoplasty Procedure
- Consultation and Evaluation: During the initial consultation, the surgeon will evaluate the shape and position of your ears, discuss your concerns and goals, and provide a comprehensive overview of the otoplasty procedure.
- Anaesthesia: Otoplasty is commonly performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, ensuring comfort throughout the surgery.
- Incisions and Techniques: The surgeon will make discreet incisions behind your ears, allowing access to the underlying cartilage. Depending on the specific case, cartilage reshaping, repositioning, or earlobe reduction may be employed.
- Reshaping and Repositioning: The cartilage will be sculpted and repositioned to create a more natural ear contour and reduce prominence. Sutures will secure the new shape and hold the ear closer to the head.
- Closure and Recovery: Once the desired changes are made, the incisions will be closed with sutures. A protective dressing or bandage may be applied to promote proper healing and support the ears during the initial recovery period.
- Post-operative Care: You will receive detailed instructions on how to care for your ears post-surgery, including medication usage, wearing a headband or protective garment, and follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
