What is Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty)?
Ear pinning, also known as otoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct protruding or misshapen ears. It is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the ears and enhance self-confidence. Ear pinning surgery can address issues such as excessively prominent ears or irregular ear shape.
How is Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty) Performed?
Ear pinning surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes incisions behind the ears or within the ear folds to access the ear cartilage. The cartilage is then reshaped, excess cartilage may be removed, and the ears are brought closer to the head. Stitches are typically removed within a few days, and a headband or bandage may be worn for a period of time to support the healing process.
Benefits of Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty)
Ear pinning surgery offers several benefits from an aesthetic standpoint. The procedure can improve the natural appearance of the ears, reduce protrusion, and bring the ears into a more balanced position with the head. This can enhance facial symmetry and improve self-confidence.
Postoperative Process and Recovery for Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty)
Recovery after ear pinning surgery is generally quick. Mild pain, swelling, and bruising may be experienced in the first few days. It is important to keep the head stable and avoid pressure on the surgical area. Most daily activities can usually be resumed within a few weeks, but full recovery may take several months.
