Freely Tie Your Hair Back: Regain Your Confidence with Prominent Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
Are you hesitant to tie your hair in a ponytail in public, or do you hate it when your hair blows in the wind and exposes your ears? Prominent ear problem is an aesthetic issue that seriously damages a person's self-confidence and restricts social life, not only in childhood but also in adulthood.
As Op. Dr. Buğçe Ballıoğlu clinic, we permanently solve this problem that shadows your facial expression with Prominent Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) and help you make peace with the mirrors.
What is Prominent Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)?
A prominent ear appearance is usually the condition where the ear cartilages are not sufficiently folded or the angle the ear makes with the head is wider than normal (the ear stands open forward). Otoplasty surgery is the process of reshaping these cartilages and bringing the ear to its natural and correct anatomical position, that is, closer to the head.
Is Prominent Ear Surgery Difficult for Adults?
There is a false belief among the public that this surgery should only be performed during childhood. However, otoplasty in adults is a highly practical and comfortable procedure. Moreover, it can be performed under local anesthesia where only the ear is numbed, without even needing general anesthesia.
Recovery Process and Scarring
- Will there be a scar? The surgical incision is completely hidden in that natural fold behind the auricle. This way, no surgical scar is visible when viewed from the front or the side.
- The Process: The procedure takes an average of 1-1.5 hours, and you can walk home on the same day.
- Afterwards: To allow the cartilages to fuse into their new shape after the surgery, you will be asked to wear an athletic bandage or a tennis headband for a few weeks (especially at night). Mild sensitivity in the first few days is easily overcome with simple painkillers.
