How is Otoplasty Performed?
The procedure involves the following steps:
1. Consultation and Planning
During your consultation, the surgeon will assess your ears, discuss your goals, and create a personalized surgical plan. This step ensures that the results align with your expectations.
2. Anesthesia
Otoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and preferences.
3. Incision and Reshaping
The surgeon makes a small incision behind the ear to access the cartilage. The cartilage is then reshaped, folded, or removed to achieve the desired contour. Sutures are used to secure the new position of the ear closer to the head.
4. Closing the Incision
The incision is carefully closed with fine sutures, leaving minimal visible scarring. The area is then bandaged to protect the ears during the initial healing phase.
Benefits of Otoplasty
Otoplasty offers numerous benefits, including:
- Improved facial symmetry and balance.
- Permanent correction of prominent or misshapen ears.
- Enhanced self-esteem and confidence.
- Minimal scarring due to discreet incision placement.
- A quick recovery process with long-lasting results.
