Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Healthy children without any serious illness, or chronic ear infections, teenagers and adults who are non-smokers, live healthy lifestyles. You can consider ear lift if: The ears are too wide in proportion to the head or stick out too far.        You are not pleased with the previous surgery and need to correct the defects.

Otoplasty is done over a period of two hours. The doctor decides whether you need a general or a local anaesthesia depending on the case. The surgeon makes incisions on the back surface of the ear, barring a few instances that may need cuts on the front. Sometimes he may make the incisions within the inner creases of the year. The excess cartilage and skin is removed and then folds the cartilage into the required position and secures the same with internal stitches.

We provide in-depth post-otoplasty care guidelines to our patients. Once the procedure completes, an overnight stay at the hospital is necessary. The sutures require care in this phase, and our doctors regulate the post-care process through strict instructions. You may feel discomfort and pain. The surgeon will prescribe the appropriate pain medication (please share if you have any allergies). Avoid sleeping on your side to avoid putting pressure on your ears. Avoid pull over shirts and blouses, opt for button-down or loose fitting collars.
