Otoplasty

You No Longer Have to Live with Protruding Ears!

Probably no other physical trait is as unwanted as protruding ears. Otoplasty or ear surgery can help the position, shape as well as the proportion of your ears. What’s important to note here is that ear surgery can be used to correct defects in ear structure that happen as a result of injury or accident.

Ear surgery can help you create a more natural shape of the ear and restore balance and proportion to your face. It is seen that correcting oversized or protruding ears can have profound effects on the confidence and self esteem of a person.

What can Otoplasty Treat?

Ear surgery can be used to correct ears that stick out. It is also helpful in cases where one ear is disproportionate or positioned slightly higher than the other. Otoplasty is also considered after an injury or accident if the shape or positioning of your ears has been negatively impacted.

Is Otoplasty Right for Me?

If you want to improve the shape and proportion of your ears, you are a good candidate for Otoplasty. Perhaps the best thing about this surgical procedure is that it is safe to be performed on young kids as well. Otoplasty to correct the prominence of ears that are sticking out can be performed on both adults and children.

What Should I Expect?

Depending on the anatomy of your ear and the extent of desired changes, Dr. Turker Ozyigit can make incisions inside or behind the ear. Often an extra cartilage or soft tissue makes the ear look disproportionate. If your ears are missing the normal folds, they can be recreated by reshaping the cartilage. Sometimes a combination of scraping and contouring the soft cartilage is done to get the desired result.

It is easier to perform the surgery in children as the cartilage is softer but needs general anesthesia. Adults have harder cartilages which is why Dr. Turker Ozyigit would prefer to make small incisions in the ear to remove or change the position of the cartilage.

You will be pleased that ear surgery offers immediate results especially in case of protruding ears. Once the initial dressing is removed, you would be able to notice the changed ear shape. Needless to say the incisions made during the procedure remain hidden behind the ear or within the natural creases of your ear. With the passage of time, the results of your ear reconstructive surgery would become more prominent.

Remember that the size and location of your incisions depend largely on the changes you wish to make. Your surgeon will guide you about the preoperative and post surgical aftercare during the initial consultation. If you have any questions about the most likely risks and potential complications of Otoplasty, you can address all your concerns directly with Dr. Turker without any fear.
