EAR CORRECTION
Ear correction surgery or pinning of the ears is medically known as otoplasty or pinnaplasty. This is a cosmetic procedure to help people who consider their ears to be too prominent. In many cases, the size, shape and lie of the ears are inherited, and a trend can be apparent across other family members. In addition to its aesthetic benefits, ear correction surgery can also boost self-confidence, eliminate possible bullying and teasing and so have a positive effect on a patient's life.
Ear correction surgery, is a simple operation which adjusts the shape of the ear's cartilage to allow the ear to lie closer to the side of the head. The operation is usually carried out with local anaesthetic.
An ear correction surgery procedure takes about 30 minutes. Following the operation, the small scars are hidden behind the ears and are not noticeable. During ear correction surgery an incision is made behind the ear. The cartilage is then re-shaped; any excess is removed and then sutured into a more normal position.
Recovery time:
Following the operation you will be required to avoid strenuous activities for at least a couple of weeks. The ears may be slightly red, sore, or bruised following your ear correction surgery. Adult patients can normally go back to work about one week after surgery depending on the type of job they do.
