What is otoplasty?
The otoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct deformities or alterations in the ears to improve their position, shape or size. It is a aesthetic and reconstructive surgery which is performed to improve the appearance of the ears. This procedure is ideal for people who:
- They have prominent or protruding ears.
- Desire correct asymmetrys o congenital deformities.
- They have suffered lesions that have altered the form of their ears.
During the intervention, ear cartilage is remodeled to achieve a position closer to the head or modify its shape. It is a safe and common procedure, which is performed in both adults and children from the age of 5-6 years, when the ears have completed their development. At MG ClinicWe adapt this surgery according to the needs and expectations of our patients, guaranteeing natural and proportional results.
What is the intervention like?
The otoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that corrects the shape, position or size of the ears to achieve a more harmonious and balanced appearance with the face. It is performed under local anesthesia with sedation in adults and general anesthesia in children, which assures a safe and undisturbed procedure. The procedure begins with a small incision in the back of the ear, through which the surgeon reshapes the cartilage, allowing it to be folded or repositioned according to the patient's needs. In some cases, a small portion of cartilage is removed to achieve a more defined result.
Once the desired shape is achieved, the incisions are sutured with fine stitches and a bandage is placed to protect the ears during the healing process. The surgery usually lasts between 1 and 2 hoursThe patient is usually able to return home the same day. During the postoperative period, it is normal to experience slight swelling and tenderness, but these discomforts decrease progressively. The use of an elastic band is recommended during the first weeks to maintain the position of the ears and to guarantee a stable and natural result.
