WHAT IS EAR PINNING (OTOPLASTY)?
If you are unhappy with the shape of your ears or your ears protrude from the side of your head, an otoplasty may be of interest.
WWHAT IS INVOLVED?
- The procedure is done as a day surgery in our Surgical Centre.
- By reshaping the cartilage, the ears are placed closer to the head through incisions placed behind the ears so scars are well hidden.
WHAT IS THE HEALING TIME?
- A gauze bandage is worn for about a week after surgery so the ears will heal in their new, flat, position.
- Discomfort is easily handled with oral medication.
- Otoplasty usually leaves a faint scar behind the ear that will fade as time passes.
- Patients can go back to work after about a week, the ears usually look normal after about 10-20 days
