Overview

There are deformities in the ear that require ear aesthetic surgery. In prominent ear, the problem is that the angle of your ear with your head is more than normal. In other words, they appear more forward and open than normal. In this case, it can cause significant psychosocial, behavioural and emotional problems, especially in children. In prominent ear aesthetics, only the outer part of the ear is intervened.

For which age is prominent ear surgery more suitable?

Prominent ear surgery is a procedure suitable for all ages. However, the appropriate age for this surgery is pre-school age. Children who go to school with prominent ears will face the negative thoughts of their friends and this will affect the mental state of the child. For this reason, before prominent ear surgery, this situation should be explained to the child in a way that he/she will understand and the surgery should be performed at his/her own request. This surgery will be performed if the child wants it.

What should I pay attention to before prominent ear surgery?

As in all surgeries, in prominent ear surgery, it is necessary to stop using aspirin and stop smoking 2-3 weeks before the surgery. In the last week before the operation, it is necessary not to use blood-thinning drugs and similar substances.

Will there be a scar on my ear after prominent ear surgery?

It is quite normal to see a thin white line behind the ear after the surgery. Since this thin scar will remain behind the ear, it will not be visible from the outside. Since self-dissolving stitches are used in the surgery, there is no need to remove stitches after the operation and there will be no stitch scar.

Will I feel pain during prominent ear surgery?

If the prominent ear surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, you will not feel pain. If it is performed with local anaesthesia, only the pain of the anaesthetic needles will be felt. You will not feel pain during the operation. After the operation, you will not feel pain for about 12 hours due to the anaesthesia. After this stage, you will not have any serious pain.

What will I experience after prominent ear surgery? Is it necessary to wear a headband?

After the prominent ear operation, an elastic bandage is wrapped around the person. Patients are then sent home. Two days after the operation, the bandages are opened, the wounds are examined and the patient is fitted with a headband to cover the ears. The purpose of wearing the band is to protect the patient completely. Two days after the operation, patients can take a bath easily. The band should be used regularly for a week. The day after the prominent ear surgery, the patient can easily return to work. In the first three weeks after the operation, the patient should pay attention to protect the ears from impacts.
