What is Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)?

Surgeries performed to correct prominent ear deformity the treatment of which requires surgery are called otoplasty. Ear surgery in Istanbul is a fairly common operation and is usually performed under local anesthesia. General anesthesia is used in children or people who are not suitable for local anesthesia. The procedure takes an average of 1 hour. A very small incision is made behind the ear. In this way, the scar is not visible. By reaching the cartilage the necessary angle is created and correction is made. After it is fixed in the correct position the incision is closed with aesthetic sutures. The sutures used in otoplasty in Turkey service are self-melting aesthetic sutures. There is no need to take stitches an aesthetic appearance is obtained.

If you want another operation to complement your otoplasty, you can consider a facelift in Turkey to create an exceptionally youthful appearance in your face.

What are the Types of Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)?

It is important to choose the right otoplasty technique for the patient. There are three methods used for correcting protruding or misshapen ears and each of them applies to different conditions.

1- Lop-Ear Otoplasty

The lop-ear Otoplasty method is used in drooping ears or in cases called bat ear and helps achieve long-term results. Within the procedure the ear is fixed and general anesthesia is used. The average duration of the operation is 2 hours.

2- One Ear Otoplasty

Although prominent ear condition is usually seen in both ears in some people only one ear has the appearance of a prominent ear. Although women can hide this problem with hair left open, especially in men this is not possible so men apply to One Ear Otoplasty to correct this problem.

3- Incisionless Otoplasty

The process of incisionless otoplasty starts by determining the type of anesthesia. With the help of a needle, a medical thread is inserted into the upper cartilage tissue of the ear, and the desired angle is given to the ear. If it will be for both ears the same procedure is performed on the other ear. The places where the needle is inserted will be covered with small bands. Thanks to this technique the angle of the ear can be controlled during the procedure. However, not all people are eligible for this kind of ear surgery in Turkey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Otoplasty can be performed on anyone who is dissatisfied with the shape of the ear. Especially in pre-school children, the average age of 5 is the ideal time. Because the fact that the prominent ear is the subject of ridicule at school affects the child’s psychology very negatively.

Turkey is a country that has gained trust in the world in terms of ear surgeries. Therefore it is recognised as a safe choice for otoplasty and has the best surgeons.

Otoplasty is a very low-risk operation. Although problems such as blood collection or minor infections may occur in the postoperative period, they can be easily treated. The problems that can be seen in the medium-long term are the formation of asymmetry in the ears or the recurrence of the prominent ear appearance over time. These problems are relatively rare with detailed preoperative evaluation and appropriate surgical techniques.

The patient does not feel any pain during otoplasty. Thanks to the anaesthetic interventions applied there is no pain even for 12 hours after surgery.

This operation can also be performed at an early age if the physicians evaluate and decide together with the family.

After the operation, the ears will be in a very comfortable condition compared to before. There is no problem in mobility.

Do not lie face down for the first week after the operation. Ears should be kept clean and washed gently as recommended by the doctor.

People who have had otoplasty have said that they have experienced great relief in terms of their appearance and that they now look in the mirror more confidently. Therefore it is an operation worth having.

After otoplasty, there is no scooping of the ears again the results of the surgery are permanent. At this point, it is sufficient to follow the postoperative doctor’s recommendations.

Otoplasty in Turkey does not have any negative effect on hearing function.

Surgery can be performed from 4-5 years of age when cartilage development starts to be completed.

With otoplasty, the ear form is brought into the desired alignment and shaped. Thanks to the sutures the cartilage is supported and the shape is prevented from deteriorating. In this way, it is ensured that you have a pair of ears in harmony with your face.
