Otoplasty Procedure

There are different types of cosmetic surgery, one of which is autoplasty or ear cosmetic surgery. This cosmetic procedure is usually performed on people who are not satisfied with the size of their ears or may not be symmetrical with each other due to genetic reasons. In the past, there was no specific solution to the problem of ear beauty. But today, this issue can be easily eliminated with cosmetic ear surgery.

A specialist doctor will thoroughly examine your corners before surgery so that they can correct any imperfections during surgery. In this article, from Moj Aramesh Amitis Health Tourism Company, we will make some points about ear cosmetic surgery and its stages.

What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is another name for cosmetic ear surgery. All defects that may appear in the ear from birth or due to physical injuries can be removed with the help of Otoplasty. Ear cosmetic surgery changes the shape and structure of both ears to fit the size of the head, as well as giving the ear a natural, aesthetic shape. This is usually suitable for people who are not satisfied with the size of their ears.

What problems can be solved with the help of otoplasty?

As mentioned, cosmetic ear problems can be treated with cosmetic surgery. The first case is called macrotia, which means that the corners are too big. The second case is when the corners are too protruding. In this case, the person may have hearing problems and it is better to see a doctor as soon as possible. Like other cosmetic surgeries that can be performed reconstructively, ear cosmetic surgery can be performed reconstructively, and people who are not satisfied with their previous surgery can have otoplasty again. There are other types of ear problems that can be treated with cosmetic ear surgery. All of this is stated in an article entitled “Advantages and Disadvantages of Otoplasty” by Moj Aramesh Amitis Health Tourism Company.

Who is otoplasty suitable for?

Any healthy person with hearing problems or ear problems can have cosmetic ear surgeries diagnosed by a specialist. If otoplasty is to be performed on children, it is best for children to have reached a certain age first so that their ear cartilage is fully formed. Usually the appropriate age for cosmetic ear surgery is after 5 years old. Also, people who are mentally and psychologically ready for cosmetic ear surgery and those who have problems such as lack of self-confidence can perform this operation at the discretion of a specialist doctor.

Advantages of Otoplasty

Otoplasty has a huge impact on a person’s overall appearance. This surgery is considered a very low risk operation and its complications are almost zero. After this surgery, the person will definitely gain a lot of self-confidence in appearance and the person’s mood will change completely. Another advantage of ear cosmetic surgery is that it costs less than other cosmetic surgeries. Otoplasty surgery is not reversible and a person can change the size of their ear to fit the head by seeing a skilled doctor.

Otoplasty Procedure

In the continuation of this article, we will review the stages of cosmetic surgery from Amitis Relaxation Wave Health Tourism Complex.

• Otoplasty Pre-Operative Instructions

Before Otoplasty surgery, try to find a specialist doctor with experience in the field of cosmetic surgery. Because this cosmetic procedure is completely related to your face, and if performed by someone other than a specialist doctor, it can have very unpleasant consequences on your mood or appearance. So the first step before otoplasty surgery is to find an experienced surgeon. To do this better, you can view the surgeon’s medical history as well as his or her previous work.

The next step is to photograph your corners. At this stage, the surgeon examines the size and location of your ear and tries to provide medical opinions about otoplasty by evaluating and analyzing a photo of your ear and cartilage. The next step before otoplasty surgery is to discuss the surgery. In most cases, at this stage, your doctor will ask you to express your views on cosmetic ear surgery and your expectations of the procedure.

At this stage, the doctor also talks about the risks and the set of costs you have to pay. In the pre-ear cosmetic surgery phase, try to consult your doctor well and ask any questions you have about cosmetic surgery so that you can prepare well for the surgery.

• During Otoplasty

Do not be afraid of cosmetic surgery in any way. This operation ultimately takes 3 hours and is a completely outpatient surgery. You will not have much pain and complications after otoplasty surgery. The doctor will first check your health and, if he or she sees that you are physically ready for surgery, will perform the surgery under local anesthesia. Otherwise, the doctor will use general anesthesia, especially in cases where children are about to have surgery.

The same cannot be said for otoplasty. Because each person’s problem is different. But in general, the cosmetic operation of the ear goes through three general stages. In the first stage, the doctor makes an incision behind the ear or inside the ear canal. In the next stage, the doctor tries to change the size of the ear or change its location by removing the cartilage or tissue of the ear or its skin. The doctor then sutures the incision.

• After Otoplasty

After the cosmetic ear surgery is over, the doctor bandages the wound. You can be discharged from the hospital after the anesthetic has worn off and with the permission of your specialist doctor. But you should note that your dressing should be dry and clean. This means that it is better to avoid bathing and water contact with the wound for a few days. Also, the dressing should be changed immediately if it becomes bloody and wet.

Here are some key pointers in moving forward with your hospital stay. The first point is not to touch the wound or stitches in any way. This may cause the stitches to open and you may bleed again. Do not sleep on the operated ear when sleeping and avoid wearing hats and tight-fitting clothes that you have to wear over your head. Avoid strenuous exercise. For example, sports such as wrestling or volleyball, where the ball may hit your head, are dangerous for you.

If the suture used by the doctor for surgery is absorbed into the skin after a while, you do not need to replace the sutures. Otherwise, you will have to go back to the hospital to have the stitches removed.

Complications of Otoplasty Surgery

The complications of ear cosmetic surgery are mostly physical and may vary from person to person, depending on the type of surgery. For example, a person may feel burning and itching at the wound site after otoplasty surgery. The wound may be bruised or swollen, or the person may feel numb. If any of these occur, see your doctor and find out why. But in general, it can be said that all these complications are periodic and disappear very quickly with the healing of ear ulcers.

The Cost of Otoplasty

The cost of otoplasty depends on several factors, including the cost of the hospital and the salary of the cosmetic surgeon, the cost of postoperative treatment and recovery, as well as the side costs of buying medicine or dressing courses. In addition, you will have to pay for an anesthetic that may be used during surgery. These costs will vary from city to city. Because every specialist doctor considers a special price for surgery.

Reconstructive Otoplasty

People who are not satisfied with their first surgery or still have problems can have reconstructive cosmetic ear surgery again. These people should be careful to choose the best doctor to do this in the second stage. Anesthesia or general anesthesia may also be used for reconstructive cosmetic surgery. Of course, it can be said that only people who have had cosmetic surgery once are not candidates for reconstructive cosmetic surgery. For example, people who have a broken, torn, or burned ear can also have cosmetic ear surgery.
