Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery or ear pinning, is a surgical procedure used to reshape and reposition the ears to improve their appearance. It is commonly performed to correct prominent ears, reduce large ears, or reshape misshapen ears.
Candidates for otoplasty generally include individuals with prominent ears, asymmetrical ears, or congenital ear deformities. The procedure is often performed on children and adults who are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.
The specific technique used in otoplasty depends on the individual's ear anatomy and desired results. Generally, incisions are made behind the ear to access the cartilage. Cartilage may be reshaped, folded, or removed to achieve the desired ear position and shape. Sutures are used to secure the cartilage in its new position.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort after otoplasty. Pain is typically managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Some soreness, swelling, and bruising around the ears are common after the procedure.
The results of otoplasty are generally permanent. Once the ears are reshaped and repositioned, they should maintain their new appearance. However, it's essential to follow post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-term results.
Otoplasty can provide numerous benefits, including increased self-confidence, improved appearance of the ears, correction of congenital ear deformities, and enhanced facial symmetry.
