Prominent Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty)

Prominent Ear Aesthetics, also known as Otoplasty, is the name given to the surgery performed to correct the appearance of the auricle.

The auricle and earlobe, which are also known as prominent ears among the public, have a very prominent appearance and a distorted appearance that is congenital or occurs after a trauma or accident, can be corrected and reshaped with otoplasty surgery.

Protruding ears can cause social and psychological negativities, especially in childhood. It is possible to get rid of this situation, which children who experience peer bullying problems before and during adolescence in school life frequently complain, with easy operations. For this reason, it is generally accepted that the best time for otoplasty surgeries is before school. In adults, trying to cover the auricle by making cosmetic improvements in order to get rid of an appearance that can be perceived as a disadvantage negatively affects their social life.

Preoperative Evaluation

Before the surgery, the person's expectations are well understood and the necessary explanations are explained to the person transparently in the light of medical data. Expectations and possible results after the procedure should be evaluated together and a satisfactory decision should be made.

Protruding ear surgery, which is not recommended for children under the age of 6, should not be extended over too much time; otherwise, it is necessary to take into account the traumatic social communication problems that the child will experience.

Operation

In young and pediatric patients, shaping can be done under the supervision of stitches, taking into account the flexibility of the cartilage. If there is excess structure, it can be removed. A small incision is made on the forehead that is not visible behind the ear. It is closed with suture materials suitable for result focus and aesthetic concerns.

There are many different surgical techniques to correct prominent ears. In children or young patients, shaping can be done with stitches since the cartilage has high flexibility. In order to give the cartilage the desired shape, certain areas can be marked, folded, thinned and weakened; If there is excess cartilage or soft tissue, it can be removed. Regardless of the technique applied, an incision is made in the crease behind the ear. This incision is then closed with appropriate suture materials selected considering aesthetic results and durability.
