Prominent Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty) Our Treatment
Prominent ear aesthetics is the process of bringing the form of the large ear structures to the size desired by the individual through minor interventions.
In this operation, the auricle is reshaped and brought to the appearance desired by the patient.
How is Prominent Ear Aesthetics Performed?
This operation, which is performed under general anesthesia, takes approximately 2 hours. A small incision is made at the back of the ear and an intervention area is created. From here, the ear is stretched and the prominent ear appearance is eliminated. Meanwhile, the distance between the ear and the head is also measured, and the ears are shaped in the most accurate position for the patient.
There is no risk of recurrence after the operations performed by specialist doctors. Performing the correct dressing follow-up of the patient in the post-operative period is an important factor that accelerates the healing process.
At What Age Is Prominent Ear Surgery Performed?
Our experts state that in order for ear aesthetics to be performed, the natural development of the ear structure must be completed first. Most of the ear development is completed around the age of 6 years. Therefore, our experts state that prominent ear surgery can be performed when there are complaints of prominent ears after the age of 6 to 7 years.
Most of the ear development is completed at the age of 6 years. For this reason, it would be more appropriate to apply the surgery after 6 - 7 years of age.
