Otoplasty
Otoplasty is the surgery designed to change the shape, position, or size of the ears. The most common procedure is to address protruding ears (ears that stick out), although it also corrects other deformities, such as congenital defects that become more noticeable as a person develops or treating ears that have been deformed due to injury or trauma.
The goal of otoplasty is to achieve balance and proportion between the ears and the face, which provides significant benefits to the patient’s aesthetic appearance and self-esteem.
It is usually performed with local anesthesia and does not require hospitalization.
For the first two weeks, it is recommended to sleep with a bandage to prevent ear twisting, which could compromise the results.
It can be performed on patients from the age of 7, although it is also frequently performed on adults.
