Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure for the ear. It involves incisions around the ear area. The surgeon will decide which type of incision should be made by seeing the ear condition. This surgery establishes or increases ear cartilage, giving the ear a standard shape. This surgery is performed with a precision that would not affect any nerve or human hearing ability.

Procedure

Before the surgeon starts the surgery, he undergoes the medical history and allergies of the patients. Adults are provided with local anesthesia, and sometimes they are given sedatives.

In the case of children, the surgeon will opt for general anesthesia.

After the anesthesia patient is left unattended for 30 to 40 minutes, the ear would get entirely numbed.

Then the surgeon will make incisions between the ear folds or the ear’s back. Depending on the patient’s situation, the surgeon will remove or add extra tissues or cartilage to give a contoured shape to the ear’s cartilage.

Once all the addition and subtraction are done, a surgeon will stitch back the incisions.

This procedure takes around 2 to 3 hours.

Results

This surgery gives immediate results to the patient, but healing takes time. Most likely, patients will see the results after their bandages are removed. During recovery, patients are advised to avoid sleeping on the treated ear, scratching stitches, or applying alcohol-containing products. Sometimes a surgeon advises the patient to put a hold on their physical activities. Once the ear is healed, they can continue their co-curriculum activities. The healing will take two months to complete. After the surgery the patient might have to revisit the surgeon for an ear examination and removal of stitches.
