Ear Aesthetics
Many deformities may occur congenitally or later in the ear. The most common prominent ear. It occurs when the angle between the ear in the ear and the skull is greater than normal. Therefore, the ear looks like a bucket. This problem may be accompanied by excessive ear angle and the absence of folds in the inner part of the ear. The aim of the surgery is to normalize the angle between the ear and the head and at the same time rebuild these folds. Prominent ear surgeries are very diverse. Each doctor applies a separate technique. Many techniques are used, such as prominent ear surgery, open ear surgery. It is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital environment in children. It is performed under local anesthesia in adults. The operation takes approximately 1-1.5 hours. The incision is made behind the ear. Stitches are made to correct the curves and angle of the ear cartilage. After crucible ear surgery, the patient can return home. The ear should remain bandaged for 3 days. The estimated edema and swelling that occur after the operation will recover within 2-3 weeks. It takes 2 months for the ear to take its final shape. In prominent ear surgery, the scar is not clear since the incision is made behind the ear. In prominent ear problem, the angle between the ear and the head may be larger than normal. It indicates that the ear is opening outwards. In addition, the folds that should be in the upper part of the ear do not develop and the ear appears straight. There are many methods that are the same and used for in-ear plastic surgery. The experience of the plastic surgeon and the degree of the problem in the ear affect the outcome of the surgery. In some techniques, an incision is made just behind the ear. In some techniques, aesthetics are only done with a thread without incision. In other methods, incisions may be preferred in front of the ear. Generally, patients do not need to stay in the hospital after surgery. Dressings are opened after 2-4 days, the person can take a bath. Some patients may need to wear a headband or tennis band after the operation.
