WHAT IS EAR COSMETIC SURGERY
While attention often centers on facial features like the nose, eyes, and lips, the ears play a vital role in our overall appearance. Ear shapes, including square, broad, or pointed ears, contribute to facial aesthetics. Ear cosmetic surgery, known as otoplasty, aims to reshape the ears according to individual preferences.
In Turkey, ear cosmetic surgery is a form of plastic surgery addressing deformities or irregular shapes of the ear. These may include prominent or protruding ears, deformities causing hearing impairment, or ears with excessive size or large earlobes. Otoplasty procedures involve ear-pinning operations or the reshaping of cartilages supporting the pinna.
Commonly performed on children aged 4 to 14, ear cosmetic surgery is also successfully undertaken by adults. The surgery, lasting 2-3 hours under local or general anesthesia, requires two to four weeks for recovery.
EAR COSMETIC SURGERY TECHNIQUES
Ear reshaping surgery employs two methods: surgical and non-surgical.
- Surgical Method: Involves a surgical incision, sized based on the patient’s ear defects, to correct them.
- Non-surgical Method: Utilizes golden threads to reshape and tighten ear cartilage. A minimal incision at the back of the ear facilitates cartilage control and incision closure.
