HOW OTOPLASTY IS PERFORMED

INDICATIONS

Plastic surgery of the ear solves the problem of congenital deviations in the shape of the ear. The external ear is made up of cartilage and a covering of skin. If the external ear is shaped well, a surgeon can simply cut these attachments and bring the external ear closer to the skull.

EXTERNAL EAR ADJUSTMENT

Sometimes, however, the shape of the external ear also needs correcting. This is most often necessary in cases where the curve of the ear isn’t deep enough or where the ear shape is irregular, sometimes even cone shaped. In these cases, a surgeon will adjust and shape the cartilage structure of the ear.

EAR ASYMMETRY

The external ears usually do not develop completely symmetrically, so slight asymmetries in shape and size are common. Ear surgery is therefore performed on one or both ears and to varying extents depending on the individual patient.

COURSE OF THE OPERATION

Otoplasty is usually performed under local anaesthesia. The surgical incision is made on the back of the external ears. The skin is then separated from the cartilage and the cartilage attachments are released. Finally, the skin is sutured and a dressing with ointment is placed on the external ear.

How to alleviate pain after ear surgery?

To alleviate pain, you can take pain-relieving medications that you will be provided with after the surgery. Sleep with your head elevated, as keeping the head in an elevated position can help reduce discomfort in the ears.
