Protruding ears are defined as the ears protruding further than normal when viewed from the front. Auricular auricle may occur due to congenital or acquired deformities. People may experience various psychological problems due to prominent ears. The most effective way to eliminate the prominent ear problem is ear aesthetics.
Ear Aesthetic Surgery Age
Families with a child with prominent ear problems generally prefer 18 years of age for surgery. However, since ear development is completed at a much earlier age than other organs of the body, there is no need to wait until the age of 18 to correct the ear with prominent ear surgery. Psychological problems in the child must be taken into consideration when deciding on the time of surgery.
How is Ear Aesthetics Applied?
Ear aesthetics is a method applied to give the most correct shape to the cartilage structure that makes up the auricle. Ear aesthetics can be performed under general anesthesia in young children. However, it can also be performed using local anesthesia in patients aged 15 and over. Ear aesthetics is a very simple operation.
When performing ear aesthetics, first a small incision is made behind the ear. Then, the incision is made and the cartilage tissue is shaped. After the cartilage is shaped, it is very important to place permanent and durable stitches to prevent the final shape from being distorted. It is also possible to shape the ear using only stitches. However, this is not a very healthy and preferred method. It should not be forgotten that in this partially applied method, the stitches may tear the cartilage.
Points to Consider After Ear Aesthetics
People who have auricle problems can have the ear shape they want in a short time, thanks to expert plastic surgeons. It is very important to research surgeons who perform ear aesthetics and choose well-equipped hospitals. After ear aesthetic surgery, the patient should be laid on a high pillow. It is not appropriate for people who have had ear surgery to do sports or lift heavy items for a month after the surgery. After ear surgery, the ears remain bandaged for an average of 3 days. However, in surgeries where dissolvable stitches are used, the problem of stitch removal is not encountered. If ear surgery is performed in the summer months, care should be taken to use sunscreen.
