3. OTOPLASTY
• The position, form, and dimensions of the ear can be improved by surgery known
as otoplasty. This can be done by cartilage relief and remove placation to unfold the auricle
and make the "detached" ear visible.
• The surgery can be carried out at any age but is usually done in childhood starting from the
age of seven and is performed under local anesthesia.
• Otoplasty is meant to recreate the ear's natural shape while maintaining proportion and
balance between the ears and the face.

4. Who is it for?
Protruding ears are often made fun of as they attract people’s attention. Adults consider it to
be a cosmetic problem while children face mockery by their peers. Prominent ears lower a
person’s self-confidence, are a source of embarrassment and often limit the individual’s
choice in hairstyles. It is a very common ear abnormality and can be easily solved by ear
pinning surgery.

5. Get Prepared
Take some time off work to get the required rest post-operation.
During the recovery period, you will also need support and help from family and friends as
you will not be able to do physically demanding jobs, attend social events, etc.
In case you have young children you might also need to arrange child care. Make sure that
you don’t have any acute sickness, such as a viral illness or cold, for at least three weeks
before your scheduled temporal lift surgery; please inform us in case it does occur.
Bring your usual medicines and pills, if possible in the original packaging. Smokers are
encouraged to stop or at least considerably reduce smoking two weeks before the operation,
and make sure you bring nicotine patches with you.
It is required to wear elastic garments after the procedure which you can buy from the clinic
or bring your own.
Ideally, women should not have their period during the operation but in case they do, they
should inform their doctor.

6. How is it done ?
The skin behind the auricles are loosened, the cartilage and adjacent are remodeled in the
surgery. This way the ear is repositioned closer to the head. The incision is made behind the
lobe so that the scar is hidden and not easily visible.

7. Surgery
The surgery lasts for less than an hour and is performed under local anesthesia. The client
can also choose to have it done under intravenous sedation, which is more comfortable
because the patient sleeps during the operation.
After Surgery
The patient has to stay at the clinic overnight after the operation. The ears are fixated by a
bandage which is worn for two weeks and is changed the second and fourth day after the
operation. It is recommended to wear a protective band at night for three weeks after the
bandages are removed. It is also necessary to pay particular attention to the regular hygiene of
the area. Sometimes ears can be a little bit sensitive, but this is a typical postoperative symptom
which quickly subsides.
It is important to rest, lying on the back with the head and body slightly elevated until the
bandages are removed. It is also advised to use two pillows on each side to avoid putting
pressure on your ears as you roll over to your side, this would harm the operated area and result
in post-operative complications.

8. Incision Care
Once you’re back home, you can wash your hair with tepid water and mild (for example,
baby) shampoo, within five to seven days of the surgery. You need to be careful when drying
your hair and use a soft towel. You should clean the area behind the ears with a disinfectant
put on cotton wool buds after the bandages have been removed. It is not advised to treat
chemically your hair (dying, perming) until several weeks after the operation and after
consulting your doctor.
Possible Reactions
It is possible that your temperature rises slightly for two to three days. You may also
experience tightness and partial loss of sensitivity in the treated area, but this is quite
common and disappears soon. An analgesic can also easily ease the discomfort.
