Otoplasty (Aesthetic Ear Correction Surgery) - All-Inclusive Package | Grand Clinic Istanbul, Turkey

Otoplasty refers to the repair and correction of ear deformity. It is known as prominent ear surgery. Correcting deformities in the ear is relatively easy and comfortable, thanks to the developing technology and advances in medicine. The operation is performed under local anesthesia for constant communication with the patient after the operation starts. The patient does not experience an excruciating process after otoplasty surgery. The patient feels very little pain during the anesthesia applied at the beginning of the first operation. This pain lasts a few minutes, and the patient feels no pain after the procedure. Grand Clinic carries out meticulous work in the operation and recovery processes of the patients. This process, which is carried out with an expert team and quality equipment, progresses in a very healthy way.  Aesthetic ear surgery is often performed to bring the prominent ear closer to the head, to reduce it if the ear is too large, or to rearrange the folds if the ear folds are abnormal. However, the most common method in Turkey is to bring the prominent ear closer to the head. Ears start to develop from birth and complete most of their development at 5-6. Therefore, prominent ear surgery can be performed at 5-6. Another important aspect of this age is that children start school at 6-7, and children in this age range are ruthless and critical. Children with prominent ears may be negatively affected by this.  In these surgeries, incisions are performed chiefly behind the ear. Thus, the problem of scarring is eliminated. By entering behind the ear, the ear is reshaped by weakening the cartilages located here and using unique permanent columns. The operation lasts approximately 1-1,5 hours. In children, general or local anesthesia is always used, and in adults, general or regional anesthesia is used depending on preference. Patients under general anesthesia can be discharged approximately 4-5 hours after surgery. After the surgery, a compression tampon is placed, and this tampon is removed after 2-3 days on average. There is a speedy recovery process. Care after prominent ear surgery is very important for the success of the surgery. First, pressed tampons are made after this surgery and kept for 7-8 days. However, the tampon can be kept for 2 or 3 days because it disturbs the patient's appearance. After this tampon is removed, a hair band can be worn. This hair band should be used continuously for approximately 1 week. Afterward, it is recommended to use it while sleeping at night for 2-3 weeks. In addition, the ear should not be pulled forward, backward, or upward and should not be bent for the first few weeks after the operation. During this period, it is necessary to avoid wearing tight-fitting sweaters that may damage the ear. You can take a bath 5-6 days after the otoplasty operation. However, after bathing, the back of the ear should be carefully dried and not left wet.  After the tampons are removed after the operation, some swelling and redness may be seen above the ear. This is quite normal and will disappear in a short time. After the operation, antibiotics and painkillers are prescribed. These medicines should be used regularly. Resting for 3 days after surgery is also very important. It is also not recommended to wear earrings or glasses for 1 month. If these recommendations are applied, the healing process will take place faster.
