What is Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty)?

The ear aesthetic procedure known as otoplasty is just one of the procedures that we can easily perform in our expert clinical environment. We perform this procedure to those with ear disorders without compromising their comfort zones with high quality so that they no longer have to live with disorders. Ear aesthetics is a very important type of aesthetic surgery for those who have prominent ear problems, those whose ears are too far back or whose ear tips are curved forward, and especially those who have problems with their earlobes.

We provide all necessary information to our patients before and after the procedure without skipping any facts. When there are problems in the ear bones, we eliminate them with permanent stitches and give you much healthier and more pleasant looking ear structures. This procedure, which we perform under general anesthesia or local anesthesia, is also known as otoplasty and is a very serious procedure.

How is Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty) done?

Sometimes the two ears do not have equal proportions. Due to congenital or accidental factors, the structure of the ears can become enlarged, reduced or sag. Such disorders also lead to a personally unaesthetic appearance and can cause psychological and physical discomfort to the patient.

We perform ear aesthetics to have both a healthy ear structure and an aesthetically beautiful appearance. Achieving successful results from the aesthetic procedure we perform in our Lavien Aesthetic center makes everyone happy. It is one of the most desired conditions of our patients that their ears are harmonious with their facial features and that they get rid of prominent ears. Therefore, we continue otoplasty to eliminate all deficiencies seen in young age groups.

Who is Suitable for Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty)?

Many often wonder why our ear aesthetic procedure, which is suitable for all age groups, is suitable for all age groups. Generally, there is a criterion of turning 18 for aesthetic procedures. However, this criterion is not valid for the otoplasty procedure. The ear structure is shaped at a young age and it is clear what it will look in the future.

It is a suitable procedure for anyone who does not want to look less than perfect for many years. However, this procedure is not suitable for those who have very serious damage such as rupture of the ears and perforation of the ear tips. The procedure can only be applied to those who have mini damages after serious operations and want to get rid of them as soon as possible.

At What Age Is Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty) done?

When the development of the ear is considered as a whole including bone, muscle and cartilage, it starts to be completed at the age of 7. In some people, this age criterion can be 8-9 years old, but there is nothing to worry about here. Ear crookedness, asymmetrical ears and prominent ears start  to show themselves at the age of 6 when the ear development is usually completed.

Depending on these images, ear aesthetics can be performed at an early age. It is not mandatory to turn 18 as in our other aesthetic procedures for this aesthetic operation. Since ear development starts and is completed at an early age, there is no need to wait to have aesthetics for a long time. We perform otoplasty on anyone who has deformation in the ears and therefore needs aesthetics from the age of 6. We perform the procedure completely according to the ear size, ear development and the appearance that the ears need. The most important point we pay attention to depending on the age group is the choice of anesthesia. General anesthesia is preferred for early age groups because they are more fearful and anxious.

Things to Consider Before Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty)

Like with all aesthetic procedures, there are things to be considered before ear aesthetics. Nutrition is one of the most important stages before this procedure not to cause a permanent disorder in the ear structure and achieve truly permanent beauty. Nutrition should be continued in a regular and balanced manner. No meals should be skipped.

Different procedures should not be performed on the ears. Actions such as ear piercing and cartilage piercing should not be avoided before the operation. The body should be physically strong before aesthetic procedures regardless of the intervention area. Otherwise, risks are always higher during the procedure.

Recovery Process after Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty)

The healing process starts as soon as the operation is over. During this process, it will be evident that an ear procedure has taken place because the dressing bandages are still wrapped around the ears. Those with long hair can of course cover these parts in a natural way. Those with short hair can get use accessories such as scarves and hats if they want to conceal this process. The healing process basically takes 10-15 days. During this period, you can return to your normal life and work life. After the procedure, mild discomfort and itching in the ears can occur.

The ears should not be in contact with water for the period specified by the doctor. Very hot and very cold environments should be avoided. Any action that will make the ears sweat should be avoided. The eardrum and the crystals inside the ear should not be interfered with. This procedure is generally superficial, but since the ear crystals are a very sensitive area, the inside of the ear should not be tampered with. Any kind of ear cleaning is strictly off limits during the healing process.

How are Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty) Operations done?

Ear aesthetics, which we perform to correct prominent ears or other ear deformations, is carried out professionally by our specialist doctors. After all the necessary measurements are taken taking into account the ear circumference and drawings are made, the type of anesthesia suitable for the age group is selected.

The procedure is started when the anesthesia starts to take effect. After the operation we apply special aesthetic stitches so no marks show on the visible parts of the ears. The scars remaining at the very back of the ears disappear completely in up to 12 months. Existing scars can be covered with hair or head gear products.

What Does Ear Aesthetics (Otoplasty) Involve?

Ear aesthetics, which is done to correct ear deformations, includes all procedures related to the ears. It is a procedure that is easy to do and comfortable. Therefore, it includes many techniques since we deal with all kinds of problems in the ears, not only for prominent ears.

Although the ears give the impression that they are behind the hair, they are actually organs that are in the foreground and cannot be hidden over time. It is very important that they have a symmetrical appearance. We are ready to aesthetize your ears to achieve symmetry and eliminate all kinds of problems that occur from the tip to the top. You can get information from our clinic without hesitation or misgivings.
