Otoplasty
Otoplasty surgery is a delicate cosmetic procedure used to correct prominent ears, cupped ears and restore a more natural appearance by treating poorly defined folds and setting the ears back closer to the head. Ear surgery is frequently performed on children and teenagers who are often extremely self-conscious about their prominent and/or oddly shaped ears.
The procedure can be carried out using various techniques, usually in under one hour.
To correct the antihelical fold an incision is made behind the ear through which the cartilage can be reached. The plasticity of the cartilage enables it to be remodeled without the need for removal and without using sutures in the cartilage itself.
The remaining scar is located behind the ear and is completely camouflaged.
Sports activities must be suspended for at least 30 days after surgery.
