Overview
Are you self-conscious about ears that stick out or appear oversized? Prominent ear correction, also known as otoplasty, is a transformative procedure designed to reshape and reposition the ears for a more natural and balanced appearance. This surgery can significantly boost self-esteem and enhance facial harmony, making you feel more confident in your appearance.
What is Prominent Ear Correction?
Prominent ear correction, or otoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that corrects the shape, position, or size of the ears. The procedure typically involves reshaping the cartilage to bring the ears closer to the head, reducing their prominence. This can be especially beneficial for children who may experience teasing or for adults looking to improve their appearance.
Benefits
Improved Aesthetics: Achieve a more balanced and symmetrical appearance by correcting protruding ears.
Boosted Confidence: Feel more comfortable and confident in your appearance, reducing self-consciousness and social anxiety.
Permanent Results: Enjoy long-lasting results that enhance your overall facial harmony.
Customizable Procedure: Tailored to meet your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
Minimally Invasive: Typically involves minimal scarring with quick recovery times.
The Procedure
Consultation: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Mr Shiatis. We’ll discuss your concerns, medical history, and desired outcomes to create a personalized treatment plan.
Anesthesia: The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation for adults or general anesthesia for children, ensuring comfort and safety.
Incision and Reshaping: Small incisions are made behind the ears to access the cartilage. The cartilage is then reshaped, and stitched to create a natural contour and position closer to the head.
Closing the Incisions: The incisions are carefully closed with sutures, and bandages are applied to support the new shape during the initial healing process.
Recovery:Post-surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions for recovery. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a week, with full results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over the following weeks.
The Ideal Candidate
Protruding Ears: Have ears that stick out prominently from the head.
Large Ears: Feel self-conscious about the size of your ears.
Asymmetrical Ears: Have ears that are uneven or differently shaped.
Healthy Individuals: Are in good overall health without any medical conditions that could impair healing.
Children and Adults: Children as young as five or six years old, whose ears have typically reached full size, as well as adults of all ages, can benefit from this procedure.
Realistic Expectations: Have a positive outlook and realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.
Recovery
Immediate Post-Surgery
Bandages: Your ears will be bandaged to protect them and support the new shape.
Discomfort: Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal and can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
First Week
Activity: Rest and avoid strenuous activities. Follow your surgeon’s advice on keeping your head elevated and protecting your ears.
Bandages: Keep the bandages clean and dry. You will have a follow-up appointment to remove or change the bandages and check on healing progress.
Weeks 2-4
Swelling and Bruising: These should begin to subside. Continue to avoid activities that could impact the ears.
Care: Follow any additional instructions from your surgeon regarding ear care and hygiene.
Long-Term Recovery
Results: The final results of otoplasty will become more apparent as swelling continues to decrease over the next few months.
Lifestyle: Maintain a healthy lifestyle to support your overall well-being and surgical results.
