Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
Ear Surgery is a correctional procedure to the ear’s structure to improve size, shape, proportion, and/or position. Whether it be a birth defect, or injury, otoplasty can correct and balance malformation and disproportion of the ears. Otoplasty is purely a cosmetic surgery and will not correct hearing difficulties.
RECOVERY
The patient will most likely feel discomfort and pain in the ears for a few days following surgery, however medication can be made available to help reduce the amount of soreness. Stitches and bandages will normally be removed after approximately a week, and patients can resume their daily rituals. Otoplasty will make the ears very sensitive for the following weeks and patients should avoid sleeping on their side, or any physical activity that may injure the healing process.
