Ear Pinning Surgery
Ear pinning surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at modifying the shape, position, or size of the ears. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have noticeably protruding ear lobes and wish to achieve a more natural and symmetrical appearance. At Estetika Plus, we offer professional otoplasty to help you achieve aesthetically balanced ears and boost your self-confidence.
What is Otoplasty (Ear Pinning Surgery)?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects protruding ears by bringing them closer to the head. This procedure can be performed on both children and adults and is ideal for clients who want to improve the appearance of their ears for aesthetic reasons or due to discomfort and low self-esteem caused by protruding ears. The surgery may involve reshaping the ear cartilage, reducing the size of the ear lobe, or correcting asymmetry between the ears.
Who is Otoplasty Suitable For?
The procedure is ideal for clients with ears that protrude significantly from the head, which can affect their appearance and cause discomfort.
Otoplasty can help correct asymmetry between the ears, improving the overall facial appearance.
The surgery is suitable for individuals who are dissatisfied with the shape, size, or position of their ears and wish to achieve a more aesthetically balanced look.
How is Otoplasty Performed?
Otoplasty is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the age of the client and the extent of the procedure. The surgery lasts approximately 1 to 2 hours. During the operation, the surgeon makes a small incision behind the ear, where the scar will be hidden in the natural fold. The cartilage is then modified to bring the ear closer to the head, and if necessary, the ear lobe is reduced or its shape adjusted. Finally, the incisions are sutured, and the ears are bandaged to support healing.
Benefits of Otoplasty
Aesthetic Improvement: Otoplasty enhances the appearance of the ears by bringing them closer to the head, ensuring a more symmetrical and natural look.
Increased Self-Confidence: For many individuals with protruding ears, the surgery can significantly boost self-confidence and improve their satisfaction with their appearance.
Natural Results: With modern techniques, the results of otoplasty appear natural, without the ears looking excessively pressed against the head.
Recovery After Otoplasty
After the surgery, it is common for the ears to be slightly swollen, and bruising may occur around the ear area, which usually subsides within a few days to weeks. Clients are advised to wear bandages or a special headband for several days to weeks to protect the ears and keep them in the correct position. Physical activity should be limited during the first few weeks to avoid complications. Most clients can return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks.
Results and Long-Term Effects
The results of otoplasty are permanent and typically visible immediately after the dressings are removed. The ears will have a more natural shape and position, significantly enhancing the overall facial appearance. Scars are usually hidden behind the ears and will fade over time.
As with any surgery, there are risks, such as infection, bleeding, temporary or permanent loss of sensitivity in the ear area, or asymmetry. However, at Estetika Plus, we use modern techniques and prioritize safety to minimize risks and achieve the best results possible.
