This procedure is commonly performed on children but it can also be done on adults. The goal of otoplasty is to create a more symmetrical appearance of the ears and to improve the individual's self-esteem and confidence. The surgery typically involves making incisions in the back of the ear to remove or reshape the cartilage. The incisions are then closed with sutures and a dressing is applied to protect the ear during the healing process. The results of otoplasty are typically permanent and can greatly improve the appearance of the ears.
The goal of otoplasty is to improve the appearance of the ears either for aesthetic reasons or to correct a deformity or injury.
Otoplasty can be performed on children teenagers and adults. In children otoplasty is typically performed around the age of 5 or 6 when the ears have reached almost full size. This can help to prevent teasing and bullying that can occur as a result of prominent or misshapen ears. In adults otoplasty can be performed to correct deformities that were present at birth or to improve the appearance of the ears after aging or weight loss.
The procedure for otoplasty typically involves making incisions behind the ear and removing excess cartilage or skin to reshape the ear. In some cases cartilage may be reshaped using sutures. After the procedure the incisions are closed using sutures or surgical tape and the ears are wrapped in a bandage for protection. The bandage is typically removed within a few days and patients are advised to avoid sleeping on their side for several weeks to allow for proper healing.
