Prominent Ear Aesthetics
The Prominent Ear Operation is an operation that provides a solution not only for the prominent ear problem, but also for the correction of the ear folds and the flat or large ear structure problem. Some ear structures do not have a superior helix fold, and because the ear looks flat and without folds, it can create the illusion of a large ear or a prominent ear. In this case, it is necessary to make the definition of the term prominent ear correctly. The ear structure we call the prominent ear is the expansion of the angle between the skull and the ear as a result of insufficient or incomplete cartilage tissue in the Y region located in the protruding area of the ear, and in this case the ears form an image that we call a scoop with a wider angle forward. The prominent ear problem can negatively affect a person’s life in many ways, a person’s facial expression and look can create an undesirable expression and appearance due to this problem.
Who Can The Otoplasty Operation Be Performed For?
- To people who complain about the appearance and asymmetry of the ears,
- children over the age of 5 who have prominent ear problems,
- It is an operation applicable to people aged 18 and over who do not have a health disability who have prominent ear problems.
How is the Prominent Ear Operation Performed?
The operation can be performed unilaterally or bilaterally according to the person’s ear complaint. In young children, the operation is performed under general anesthesia, while in people aged 18 years and older, the operation is completed within an average of 1 hour under sedation, local anesthesia or general anesthesia. There are more than one technique for performing an otoplasty operation.
Shaping the ear cartilage by suturing, shaping the auricle by partial cartilage, or performing the operation with an incision behind the person’s ear can be considered among the applicable techniques of this operation. Rib cartilage can also be used in cases where the cartilage tissue in the ear is insufficient. The most appropriate technique is according to your need and complaint will be chosen with the surgeon.
What Should Be Considered After the Prominent Ear Operation?
After the operation, the person can immediately return home,and continue their daily routine and travels. However, it is necessary to wear an ear bandage for 2-3 days, small edema and bruises that may occur after the operation are quite normal and will heal in a short time. The bandages are removed at the end of the first week after the operation. If there are stitches, the stitches are removed at the end of the first week. The use of elastic ear bandage should be continued at nights at the second postoperature week. The ear should be protected from bumps and tugs for the first 3 months. The complete healing of the scars and stitches is completed successfully around 3- 4 weeks.
