Otoplasty in Turkey
What is Otoplasty (ear correction) Surgery?
Ear-perfecting Precision: Aesthetics Center Turkey’s Signature Otoplasty.
Otoplasty, or ear correction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes or repositions the ears to improve their appearance and proportion to the rest of the face. Otoplasty Surgery Turkey can address a variety of issues, including prominent or asymmetrical ears, earlobe deformities, and ear size reduction.
The Otoplasty Surgery Turkey is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ear to access the cartilage and then reshapes it as needed. If the ear needs to be brought closer to the head, the surgeon may remove a small amount of skin behind the ear or use sutures to hold the ear in a new position. Once the ear has been reshaped, the surgeon closes the incision with sutures.
After Otoplasty Surgery Turkey, patients can usually go home the same day with a head dressing to protect the ears. Patients may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the first few days after surgery, but these symptoms typically subside within a week or two. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a week or two after the procedure.
There are several types of Otoplasty Surgery Turkey that can be performed to reshape and reposition the ears. The most common types include:
Conchal setback: This technique is used to reshape the conchal bowl, which is the deepest part of the ear. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ear and removes a small piece of cartilage. The remaining cartilage is then reshaped and stitched back into place, pulling the ear closer to the head.
Ear augmentation: This technique is used to increase the size of the ears. The surgeon uses a small piece of cartilage taken from the patient’s own body, such as the ribs or nasal septum, and inserts it into the ear to increase its size.
Ear reduction: This technique is used to reduce the size of the ears. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ear and removes a small piece of cartilage, reshaping the ear to a smaller size.
Earlobe repair: This technique is used to repair damaged or stretched earlobes. The surgeon removes the damaged tissue and sutures the remaining tissue back together.
Ear pinning: This technique is used to correct ears that stick out too far from the head. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ear and removes or reshapes the cartilage to position the ear closer to the head.
Hybrid otoplasty: This technique combines various otoplasty procedures to achieve a customized result.
