Otoplasty surgery treatment

Otoplasty surgery can improve the shape and position of the ear. Otoplasty is also known as ear surgery can fix the common ear deformities of children and adults. Cosmetic ear surgery takes about four to six hours to achieve the most natural result when re-shaping both ears. Complicated procedures sometimes may take longer. The duration of the surgery and the surgical technique used will depend on the issues being addressed. The procedure uses a small incision in the natural fold behind the ear. The ear cartilage will be exposed, sculpted and folded back toward the head. Non-removable stitches may be used to secure the cartilage into position. In rare cases, cartilage is removed to improve shape but in most cases the surgeon sculpts the ear and re-shapes the cartilages without removing cartilage. To ensure symmetry and balance, surgery is typically performed on both ears, even when only one appears to protrude. These issues include: ? Cupped ear: a disproportionately small ear ? Lop ear: where the ear tip folds downward ? Shell ear: where the folds, creases and outer rim of the ear is missing ? Earlobe issues: disproportionately large or stretched earlobes, or earlobes with wrinkles or creases
