About Otoplasty
Otoplasty can be approached both from cosmetic and reconstructive points.It may be preferred for asymmetry or protrusions caused by birth defects, to improve the shape of the cartilage or lobe, or to have smaller ears.
Types of Otoplasty
- Ear Pinning: This technique is a type of otoplasty that targets ears that protrude too far to the side of the head by reshaping the cartilage and bringing the ears closer to the head. Typically, your surgeon may make inconspicuous incisions behind the ears and in the contour of the skin itself to allow for smoother movement of the cartilage.
- Ear Reshaping: This technique is preferred for correcting undesired or asymmetrical ears.It involves reshaping the cartilage to create a more aesthetically pleasing contour and symmetry.
How the Procedure Works
Anesthesia can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia depending on the patient's preference or the surgeon's recommendation. After determining the technique required according to the individual's needs, your surgeon will typically strategically place the incisions behind the ear or in the natural creases. Depending on what the desired result requires, your surgeon will manipulate the cartilage by scoring, folding, suturing or removing some cartilage.
The incisions will be sutured with surgical tape or skin adhesive.
