Otoplasty is a purely cosmetic surgical operation, the need for which is diagnosed right from the early years in a person’s life.
In many people, their ears are too big, protruding, have an uneven size, or one of them has a peculiar feature.
Unfortunately, similarly to face imperfections, eye imperfections cannot be hidden, as well. Even if the patient grows long hair, through their movements that they make they become visible again. Especially during school years, the patient becomes an easy target for mockery, which causes them psychological and social insecurity.Therefore, parents had better consult a plastic surgeon, before the child starts school and receives the first ironic comments from their classmates. After all, this age is recommended for this type of operation. Nevertheless, otoplasty can be performed at any age, on a man or a woman, without leaving postoperative signs.
The plastic surgeon, right from the first visit, will explain to the patient how they will improve the appearance of the ears, and harmonize it with the other face characteristics.
Normally, the duration of the hospital stay is one (1) day (one-day clinic). Bandage change and removal takes place on the following day. The removal of stitches takes place within eight (8) days.
