Like any other sense organ, our ears are one of the most critical parts of our body since they are the only audial medium that helps us interact with the world. Any medical, mechanical, or cosmetic problem with your ears can turn your life upside-down in many aspects. Inevitably, and thankfully, you can undergo ear surgery.
Apart from these facts, cosmetic ear surgery is almost 200 years old. With advances in technology, the number of patients has been increasing rapidly.
What is ear surgery?
It is the surgical process where doctors make corrections to your ear shape. The technical name for ear surgery is otoplasty. There are different types of otoplasty that we perform in our clinics. From ear pinning surgery to ear reshaping surgery, ear reconstruction surgery to ear lobe surgery, we maintain many operations.
Additionally, you can find these three options in our clinics, too:
- Elf ear surgery
- Ear reduction surgery
- Ear fold surgery
Here, we provide our customers with the best conditions for their comfort and health.
How does the surgery process work?
An ear surgery operation requires anesthesia and many other surgical procedures. Doctors mostly prefer local anesthesia for adults since the process is not significant. For children, who are the most common patients for the surgery, It is more favorable to use general anesthesia.
Most operations require the doctor to make an incision from the back of your ear to operate on the cartilage. Our doctors can perform any possible addition, extraction, or modification of the cartilage. You can have your ears reshaped, reduced, or corrected. Once the operation is finished, your doctor will stitch up the incisions.
The recovery time for an ear correction surgery usually takes about two months. After the surgery, you’ll probably suffer from swelling, aching, and paresthesia in or near your operation area. All of these are normal; you don’t need to panic. (In any case, be in touch with your doctor for any extreme or unexpected situation). Primarily, at the end of these two months, you’ll get your full hearing back and can have your new ears.
Ear Pinning Surgery
One of the most common types of ear surgery is ear pinning surgery. Many people, especially children, who have prominent ears, don’t like them. You can easily imagine how hard it can be for a child with prominent ears to be in elementary school. With more open-minded parents and the conveniences of modern technology, many children are now undergoing ear-pinning surgery.
Although the same process is used for surgical ear pinning, which includes the reconstruction of ear cartilage through an incision, there is also an alternative ear pinning method called ear pinning without surgery. Despite its name, this method requires a semi-surgical operation on the ears. The only difference is that there are no incisions. Our doctors use sutures (the medical term for stitches) to pin your ear to your head.
Either method is preferable for anybody, adult or child. You can easily overcome your prominent ears problem with any of these two methods.
