Facial surgery
Otoplasty
A brief procedure with a disproportionately large effect.
Otoplasty corrects prominent ears and irregularities in the contour of the ear. It is a simple, outpatient surgery with a very high impact on how patients see themselves.
The approach
Cartilage reshaping with permanent sutures, through an incision hidden in the crease behind the ear. The goal is a natural position, never flat against the head.
Recovery
Practically painless. Normal life resumes after five to seven days, avoiding contact sports for a month.
Who it's for
- Protruding ears or a missing antihelical fold.
- Asymmetries between the two ears.
- Adults and children from six or seven years of age.
The process
01
Assessment
Measurement of ear projection and the cephaloauricular angle.
02
Outpatient surgery
Local anaesthesia, around ninety minutes.
03
Dressing
A compression dressing for five days, then a night band.
04
Discharge
Review at one week, one month and six months.
