All About Otoplasty

Otoplasty (Ear Aesthetics)

Otoplasty is also sometimes called cosmetic ear surgery. The auricle consists of cartilage folds covered with skin. It begins to develop before birth and continues to develop in the years afterwards.

If your pinna is not developing properly, you may choose to have otoplasty to correct the size, position or shape of your ears.

There are several different types of otoplasty:

• Ear enlargement: Some people may have small ears or not fully developed ears. In these cases, they may want to have otoplasty to enlarge their outer ears.
• Ear attachment: This type of otoplasty involves moving the ears closer to the head. The application is performed on people whose ears protrude from the sides of their heads.
• Ear reduction: Macrotia is when your ears are larger than normal. People with microtia resort to otoplasty to reduce the size of their ears.

How is Otoplasty Surgery Performed?

In ear aesthetics, the places where the ear should be intervened are decided first. Then, the necessary places for stitching that will not disturb the ear fold are targeted. Cartilage areas are rasped. The tissues are removed from the necessary places and the ear is brought to the desired form. Stitches are made from the necessary places behind the ear. If your surgery will be done with local anesthesia, you should stop eating and drinking including water 8 hours before the scheduled time for the operation. If it will be with general anesthesia you should stop eating at 11pm the day before your operation date. After the operation, which will take approximately 1 hour, a bandage is worn to preserve the given shape and reduce swelling and edema. You may not feel pain thanks to the medications given when you go to your room. In surgeries performed with local anesthesia, you can start eating when you go back to your hotel room as it isn’t necessary to stay in the clinic. On the other hand when general anesthesia is performed, you will stay for one night in the clinic, therefore you will wait for 4 hours after the surgery so that you can eat.

Note: While ear aesthetics is performed under general anesthesia at young ages, it can be performed under local anesthesia in adults. If the patient has concerns, general anesthesia is also preferred in adults.
