Otoplasty is one of the least complicated plastic surgeries performed by professional, experienced, plastic surgeons, which is recommended even for children. With its help the asymmetry of the ears is corrected, the hood (the escaping ears) changes to the desired shape of the ear cartilage and the ear lobe. Generally, otoplasty can be divided into two types:
Pecularities after procedure
The procedure can be performed both under local anesthesia (preferably) and under general anesthesia (at the request of the patient). General anesthesia is indicated for young children so that the procedure is as comfortable and safe for them as possible. Local anesthesia – for teens and adults. The duration of the operation is from 1 to 2 hours.
Otoplasty for children and adolescents
This is one of the most popular surgeries among teenagers and children, as lop ears or deformed ears often create child’s complexes and cause bullying by peers. It is important for parents not to ignore the fact of the presence of complexes and to solve the problem as early as possible (correction can be made from 6 years). The sooner a child gets rid of a congenital feature, the less is the risk of psychological trauma.
All contraindications can be excluded only by visiting a plastic surgeon and undergoing a mandatory preoperative examination. This will allow the ears to be adjusted without complications and with a short rehabilitation period
