Cosmetic Ear Surgery

Before performing otoplasty, it is necessary to pass general clinical tests to identify contraindications.If none are found, our doctors, together with the patient, plan the operation and set its exact date.

The specific method of correcting the shape and size of the auricle, which also determines the cost of otoplasty, is chosen by SB Esthetic surgeons on an individual basis, guided by their professionalism and practical experience.This choice is also influenced by the structural features of the auricle in a particular patient.But almost always, surgical incisions are made along the back walls of the auricle and behind the ears.Thus, postoperative scars will be almost completely hidden from the eyes of others.

In our clinic, otoplasty is most often performed using local anesthesia and is easily tolerated by patients.In young children, general anesthesia may also be used.If the purpose of the operation is to correct the shape of the auricle or protruding ears, the surgeon excised tissue, fixes the cartilage in a new position relative to the head and gives it new contours.If the operation is reconstructive, focused on restoring a partially or completely lost ear shell, then the patient’s own cartilage tissue is taken for transplantation.This completely eliminates the risk of rejection of the transplanted material.The total duration of otoplasty is on average 30-60 minutes.

After the operation, special rollers are applied to the ears to keep the cartilage in its new position.In addition, it is fixed with a bandage or bandage, which must be worn for the next month.As a rule, after the operation, patients do not experience pain and return to daily activities – a maximum of 5-7 days.Our doctors recommend taking care of your ears for another 2-3 months.
