PROMINENT EAR SURGERY
The fact that our ears are one of the most important sensory organs for humans also requires them to have a wonderful structure. However, the deformity of the ears that occurs genetically in some people affects the person’s self-confidence, especially in the social environment, circle of friends or business life. This situation causes the person to be shy about the shape of their ears and to lose social self-confidence. It then starts a process that can lead to psychological discomfort. Thanks to otoplasty, that is, prominent ear aesthetics, this situation is no longer a problem and can be easily solved. Every year, hundreds of people who experience this situation are able to resolve the congenital deformation in their ears in the best way possible.
Surgeries in general;
- If the ear is disproportionately large or small
- With improper or poor positioning of the head
- If there is a scoop situation that occurs outwards
- If there are ears that are deformed as a result of injury
- If hair collection cannot be done due to ear shape
For such reasons, prominent ear aesthetics can be performed. Surgeries generally take 1-1.5 hours. It is performed using general anesthesia in children and local anesthesia in adults. The cartilage is shaped by bringing the ear to the required angle. Patients are discharged on the same day or the next day, depending on the type of anesthesia.
In the initial stages, swelling and bruising may occur. Care should be taken as recommended by the doctor. Bandages are generally used after surgery. If dissolvable stitches are used, the stitches will not be removed. A visible difference will be seen after about 2 weeks. It is not a problem when a permanent scar occurs only behind the ear and is not very visible. Correction of the ears is permanent and there is no change in any way unless there is external intervention.

Smooth progress, easy discharge and short recovery time also play a role in the choice. A doctor who listens to the patient and provides personalized treatment always ensures successful results.
