PROMINENT EAR AESTHETICS (OTOPLASTY)

Ears are very important for the aesthetic appearance of the face. The presence of prominent ears is a problem, especially for young people. Since ear development is completed at the age of 5-6 years, ear surgery can be performed before primary education. For children, it can be performed under general anesthesia, and local anesthesia may be preferred for young people. An incision is made behind the ear, the cartilage is shaped. The ear is brought closer to the head with special yarns, thus ensuring that it retains its shape. The scars will remain behind the ear and will not appear. The patient can go home the same day. The patient is checked at 2-3 day intervals. One week later the sutures are removed. It is recommended that a headband should be worn for another week after the stitches have been removed.
