Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Through otoplasty, the shape and size of your ears can be modified to give them a more pleasing appearance.

Prominent ears and loop ears are a very common congenital malformation. The basic defect is a localized abnormality in the auricular cartilage.

This anomaly can be found at two levels.

  • Lack of cartilage folding at the level of the area called antehelix.
  • Exaggerated development of the shell which is part of the auricular cartilage, or presents an excessively open angle in relation to the skull with the consequent effect that the ear appears detached from the face. li>

The loop ear correction is advisable to carry out from 6-7 years of age, once its development is complete.

Technique

There are numerous techniques described, but the most common is to make an incision in the back of the ear, making it imperceptible.

Through it we access the auricular cartilage up to where the antehelix lacks curvature, here we place some non-resorbable sutures, in order to fold the cartilage on itself.

In the event that there is a defect at the level of the shell, we will place some stitches that pull this part of the cartilage backwards.

Pre-Operative

  • Blood analysis
  • E.C.G.

Postoperative

You will wear a compression bandage for 48 hours. The ears will present a slight inflammation that will subside over the following days. The sutures are removed around 7 – 8 days after the intervention.

Aftercare

As long as there are stitches, extreme care must be taken when washing the hair, so as not to affect the wound. Do not use a hot air dryer in the area.

During the first 15 days it is advisable to wear a light compression garment overnight.
