Otoplasty
(Prominent Ear Surgery)

The prominent ear can be perceived as an irritating condition at all ages and may cause self-confidence problems. The prominent ear implies congenital defects of the ear structure with the effect of genetic factors. Deformities develop due to developmental disturbances in different areas of the ear.

Otoplasty
(Prominent Ear Surgery)

Ear development is completed by 80-90% until the age of 6. Therefore, 6-year-old children have ears in size of an adult ear. For this reason, it is normal that prominent ears of little children seem to be even larger. In the prominent ear deformity, the angle between ear and scalp is wider than normal. This shows the ear protruding outward. Especially when looked from behind, this difference is even more obvious. If the ear does not have folds which have to be in two-thirds and the ear looks flat as if it is ironed, this problem seems more evident. It is necessary to correct these deformities.

Who Do We Recommend?

  • Those who do not have an additional disease which might cause wound healing problems
  • Patients with a prominent deformity and reasonable expectations
  • Who are not heavy smokers

The fact that the folds that should be in the upper 2/3 of the ear are not formed and the ear looks flat as if it was ironed makes the belt prominent. What needs to be done is to eliminate these deformities.

Quick answers to
your questions

After the otoplasty surgery, pomade gauze bandages are used to support to newly-formed ear folds on anterior and posterior surfaces of the ear. This support is continued until the first week in the early period and the ear is supported especially at night with the head bandage which is requested to be used from the beginning.

Depending on the choice of plastic surgeon, it is performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia. The incisions to be made are behind the ear. As mentioned, scars are less visible located in the hidden areas. The aim is to reduce the angle between ear and skull and achieve a more natural appearance by shaping newly-formed air curvatures. Thus, ear gains a distinct appearance and does not draw attention when looked from front, back and sides.

Heavy smokers should quit smoking if possible, Aspirin and other non-steroid painkillers should be avoided because of the risk of bleeding, If there are medicines used for other diseases, patient should consult her surgeon and continue using them accordingly

The cost of surgery varies according to the duration of surgical intervention to be performed, technique to be used and type of anaesthesia.
