What is Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty)?

Ear aesthetics, also called otoplasty, is one of the procedures that we easily perform in our specialist clinic environment. Those with ear disorders can now say goodbye to any ear related disorders with this process, which we continue to implement with ease and quality. Ear aesthetics is a very important type of operation for those who have prominent ears, those whose ears are too far back or those whose ear tips are curved forward, and especially for those who have problems with their earlobes.

We provide all necessary information to our patients before and after this procedure, which is mostly preferred by those with prominent ear problems. We eliminate ear cartilage problems by placing permanent stitches to reveal much healthier and more pleasant-looking ears.

This procedure, which we perform under general anesthesia or local anesthesia, is known as otoplasty. In particular, large parts of the ears are removed with otoplasty applied to correct the prominent ear appearance and space is made from the inside and stitched to the head.

How is Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty) done?

Sometimes the ears appear to be very normal in size, but they can actually be disproportionate. Sometimes the two ears can be asymmetrical. Depending on congenital or acquired factors, growth, shrinkage or sagging can occur in the structure of the ears. Such disorders also lead to unaesthetic appearances and start to cause psychological and physical discomfort in the patient. We perform ear aesthetics to have both a healthy ear structure and an aesthetically good look. This aesthetic operation is suitable for all age groups.

We perform the procedure under general anesthesia if the patient is a child, and under local anesthesia if the patient is an adult. First we help of patients relax thoroughly both physically and psychologically, and then we continue with the procedure stage. Our procedure in a single ear takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. We mark the parts where the skin piece will be taken and after anesthesia, we do the incisions, remove the necessary parts and shape to give the ears a normal appearance.

Prominent ear problem or other ear deformations are problems that can occur at any age. This operation should be considered when such deformations start to stand out at a young age. All necessary tests are performed in our clinic, and then the procedure is decided and applied. Ear aesthetics is a suitable procedure for all age groups. However, while general anesthesia is preferred for the younger age groups, local anesthesia may be preferred for adults.

At What Age Is Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty) Performed?

When ear development is considered as bone, muscle and cartilage, it starts to be completed exactly at the age of 6-7 years. In some people, the completion of development can correspond to much later age groups. However, depending on the ear development, which is generally completed at the age of 6, ear deformities and prominent ears can also be manifested at this age.

Ear aesthetics can be performed at early ages and in adult age groups, regardless of age. It is not obligatory to be 18 years old for this aesthetic operation. Since ear development is completed at a very young age, there is no need to wait any longer.

Contact of the ear area with water should be avoided until full recovery is achieved after ear aesthetics. Foods and beverages containing alcohol, caffeine and anticoagulants should be avoided. Heavy exercises should not be done. It is necessary to take care not to sweat too much during the day and avoid very cold environments. The ears should be protected for 3 weeks with a sports band.

The healing process starts as soon as the operation is over. After the ear aesthetic procedure, the ears can be covered with hair, a beret and similar accessories until the bandages are removed. During the healing process, professional control should be performed and dressings should be made by professional people. The days when dressings need to be changed should be attended without failure without any delays or interruptions.

Berets or shawl-like accessories should be avoided. Stitches should not be interfered with. Our clinical experts continue to provide information on all areas that need attention from before the procedure to the end of the healing process.
