Prominent ear otoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct the angle of the ears. Protruding ears are not a sign of pathology or an absolute indication for surgical treatment. This is an anatomical feature of a person, which, if desired, can be corrected through surgery. Plastic surgeons at the SB Esthetic Surgery will help prevent or get rid of complexes associated with protruding ears.
Signs of protruding ears can be noticed in a child at an early age, since this is a congenital feature.Non-invasive methods for correcting this defect are practically ineffective, because protruding ears are caused by an excess of cartilage in the auricles, and not by their shape.
A large angle of deviation of the shells is a feature of appearance, which often causes embarrassment and even the development of serious psychological complexes that people have to deal with all their lives. One ear can protrude or two at once.
To keep the ears from sticking out, you can do a special operation. In SB Esthetic Surgery, her technique has been brought to perfection, so such an intervention carried out in our center is considered simple and safe.
Restrictions for surgery to correct protruding ears are:
- inflammatory processes in the ear area;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- acute infectious pathologies;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- serious immune problems;
- thyroid disease;
- oncopathology;
- blood clotting disorders.
Otoplasty for the correction of protruding ears is performed in adults, it can be combined with other reconstructive interventions, as well as with operations to eliminate hearing impairment.
The doctor determines the method of intervention on an individual basis, depending on the characteristics of the clinical case. Before the procedure, the patient undergoes an examination, which allows to identify possible contraindications and perform otoplasty against a favorable background. To remove protruding ears in a child, the operation is performed under general anesthesia. In older patients, local anesthesia may be used.
An incision is made along the posterior surface of the auricle. The doctor removes excess cartilage, models its new position and applies cosmetic sutures. Traces of interference will be invisible to others. The professionalism of SB Esthetic Surgery specialists and the use of modern high-tech equipment contribute to the achievement of a good result and a smooth postoperative period.
