For a Better You
Many people around the world complain about the problem of prominent ears. This problem a person experiences with their appearance can also negatively affect them psychologically.
It is also very common to experience problems such as self-confidence problems. For this reason, prominent ear surgery eliminates this appearance. It is also possible for the surgery to be performed during childhood. There is no requirement to be over 18 years of age.
Especially the age of 6 is an important age in terms of ear development. By the age of 6, 90% of ear development is completed. Ear deformity can be corrected after the age of 6 and surgery can be planned. It is recommended that this surgery be performed before adulthood because it will negatively affect the psychology of children. Especially children may experience negative situations when they go to school. For this reason, performing surgery during the preschool period may be a much better choice.
Because ear deformity can mean a troublesome situation for adults, too. Unfortunately, this problem can also damage a person’s self-confidence. However, it is possible to eliminate this problem with surgery performed in just a single session. In this way, possible problems such as children being ridiculed by their peers before school are prevented.
As a result, it is possible for children from the age of 6 to undergo surgery. Of course, there is no harm in performing surgery at later ages.
After the surgery, when the effect of local anesthesia wears off, there may be a slight feeling of pain behind the ear or in the entire ear area. Let us underline that this situation is quite normal and even expected. Mild pain does not mean that there is a problem with the surgery.
Therefore, in such cases, patients will not need to worry. Because your doctor will definitely prescribe painkillers and it may be possible to control the pain with the help of medication.
Most of the time, this pain disappears within 1-2 days. It should also be noted that there is no pain that negatively affects the patients' daily or work lives. You can meet with your doctor before the surgery and get more detailed information about pain. Every surgical intervention involves some risks. Protruding ear surgery also has various risks. However, when an evaluation is made, we can state that the probability of these risks occurring is extremely low.
Bleeding and infection risks will be minimal, especially if an experienced doctor is preferred. At the same time, anesthesia is required before surgery.
Therefore, we can say that anesthesia-related risks are also included in this list. The use of antibiotics after surgery is important to minimize the risk of infection. We can state that if the doctor's recommendations and warnings are taken into consideration, the post-operative period will be much more comfortable. Another frequently asked question is how much scarring will remain on the skin after surgery. Of course, it cannot be said that there will never be a scar. Since an incision will be made on the skin, there will definitely be a scar, albeit a slight one. However, since this scar is located behind the ear, its visibility is almost non-existent.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about scars remaining after the operation. However, it should also be noted that the existing scar will become much less visible over time and will take on the skin color. Patients who got rid of the prominent ear problem with otoplasty say that they do not have any problems with the remaining scars. Since self-dissolving sutures are used after the surgery, there is no need to remove stitches. However, check-ups should be made within the period specified by the doctor. Generally, bandages are removed within 10 days following the operation and the necessary checks are completed. During this period, you should definitely inform your doctor in case of unexpected situations such as extreme pain or high body fever.
It is not possible for the ears to regain their prominent appearance after the surgery. Therefore, there is no need for a second surgery. However, in very rare cases, such as a blow to the ear area after the operation and the stitches being opened in the ear area before the healing is completed, a new surgery may be required. The aim here is to reshape the ear cartilages through intervention. Your journey between our clinic and the airport takes 15 minutes.
