Otoplasty
General Information: otoplasty is a procedure to correct prominent or cosmetically deformed ears. It is frequently done in children to prevent embarrassment and ridicule from their peers. The surgery is performed through incisions hidden in the back of the ear. Complications are few and results are dramatic and permanent.
Length of Surgery: 1 to 2 Hours
Location: Accredited Surgery Center or Hospital
Anesthesia: General or local with sedation
Recovery Time: The patient can usually return to work in 5 days or longer depending on the individual.
Exercise and strenuous activity may be done at 4 to 6
weeks following surgery.
Post Operative Results: Each patient heals differently; however following the surgery patients
may experience temporary pain, swelling, possible bruising, soreness and fatigue. The incisions are hidden and will fade and flatten with time.
It has been our experience that patients are very happy with their post
op results and their new look.
Helpful Hints: Be in good mental and physical health. Do Not Smoke. Help improve healing
by taking pre and postoperative vitamins. Improve the appearance of small scars with topical gel.
