Otoplasty

Overview

Are you born with an ear sticking out or suffering from an abnormal ear shape? Were you in some accident that disturbed the appearance of your ears?

HospitalXP has the solution for you. We offer Otoplasty, a cosmetic surgery that helps reshape the ear's size, structure, and repositions. This surgery is performed by experienced Ph.D. surgeons who go through a step-wise process from consultation to follow-up to manage the surgery considering your preferred goal.

Am I a suitable candidate for this operation?

You are eligible for this surgery only when the ear is fully developed. The ear develops until age 5, and Otoplasty can be performed at this age and beyond. You can opt for this surgery if your ears are further apart from your head, large in proportion to your head, abnormal shape due to injury.

Otoplasty Procedure

The three stages of this Procedure:

Perioperative

It is the preparatory phase of the surgery. Before you get a reverse tummy tuck, our cosmetic surgeons will ask you about your worries, concerns, and expectations for the surgery. Also, they will examine your abdomen and ask you to do tests to confirm your health status. Furthermore, our surgeons will advise you to stop taking medications like aspirin.Consultation is scheduled with our expert Ph.D. surgeons. During this phase, you should be honest with your surgeon for the best results. Our surgeon will examine your health medical history and adjust your previous, ongoing medication for this surgery. In addition, they will discuss your ear's size, shape, and placement and take pictures for future comparison. A discussion is essential to know your goals and get suggestions from your surgeon during this time. Then, a treatment plan is made under your knowledge and preference.

Intraoperative

Otoplasty is an outpatient procedure that usually takes 2-3 hours to complete depending upon the complexity of the surgery. The choice of incision and techniques chosen by the surgeon depends on the type of the otoplasty results and the scarring left afterward.

The procedure typically involves the incision behind the ear or around the inner ear crease. Then, depending on the surgery's goals, the cartilage and skin are removed, and the cartilage is shaped or grafted. Subsequently, with the help of the sutures, the incision is closed and protected.

Postoperative

After the surgery, the ears are covered with bandages to protect the incision and sutures. After the surgery, you will feel soreness, swelling, redness, numbness, and tingling around the ear. These symptoms will subside in 2-3 weeks. Next, our surgeon will prescribe pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort and an after-care routine to protect the wound. Finally, they will schedule an appointment to remove the sutures; a follow-up appointment is also expected to eliminate complications.
