Otoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting the shape, size, position (protruding ears) or symmetry of the ear.
The procedure is often performed to correct protruding or asymmetric ears and has a significant impact on the patient's psychological comfort. Earlobe plastic surgery involves restoring the shape or structure of the earlobe – for example, making it smaller, repairing a pierced or torn earlobe, or correcting a genetic deformity. Both interventions are usually minor and low risk.
Details of the procedure
Duration: On average 1 to 2 hours, depending on the type and complexity of the procedure.
Anesthesia: Mostly local, although general anesthesia can also be used.
Rehabilitation: After the operation, it is necessary to wear a special bandage for several days. Swelling and mild discomfort may occur for 7-10 days. The patient will need a few post-operative visits to the clinic.
Result: It is noticeable in the first days, although the final result is formed in about 1-2 months, when the swelling completely subsides.
For whom it is recommended: Surgery is recommended for those who suffer from aesthetic or structural problems with the shape, size or position of the ear or earlobe and want to correct them.
