EARS

Ear Surgery, or Otoplasty, is Performed to Reshape, Reposition or improve the proportion of the Ear. This surgery can correct defects from birth, development, or injuries that lead to overly large, projecting, or Misshapen ears. To promote a natural appearance, incisions are placed inside and behind the ears.  Improving the shape of ear to a more natural form brings a balance to the face and ears and Enhances appearance, confidence, and Self esteem. 

GOOD CANDIDATES FOR ear SURGERY

Deciding whether or not  to have elective surgery is a very important decision. This procedure  is ideal for children without untreated chronic ear infections, and for children with good communication skills that are able to follow instructions. This surgery can usually be performed on children over the age of six, when the cartilage in the ear is more mature. Good adult candidates for this surgery include those with a positive outlook and healthy lifestyle, without medical conditions which impair healing, and non-smokers.

RECOVERY

This procedure usually requires local anesthesia with sedation as an outpatient procedure. While healing varies according to the individual and extent of the procedure, most find that surgical healing is improved within two weeks of surgery and recover within two months. Light Activity is important for the day after surgery and for the first two weeks. 

it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper skin care and adequate sun protection while healing after surgery.
