It is an ear shaping operation applied to change the shape, position or size of the ears. It is called ‘otoplasty’ in medical language. It can be done at any age after the ears have reached their full size (usually after the age of 5). In some cases, surgery is done as early as 3 years of age.
Prominent ear surgeries are performed behind the ear. In this way, it is ensured that the stitch marks are hidden behind the ear. Cartilage tissue is weakened with small incisions made behind the ear and the ear is reshaped with permanent columns.
The operation takes an average of 1-1.5 hours. Surgery is always performed under general anesthesia in children and local or general anesthesia in adults. Patients are sent home safely 4-5 hours after prominent ear surgery.
After prominent ear surgery, the ears are bandaged to protect the ear tissue and facilitate healing. Usually these dressings are kept in the ear for 2-4 days. It is then removed. If self-dissolving stitches have not been used, the stitches are usually removed within a week. After removing the dressings, it is recommended to use a band that covers the ears, especially at night, for 6-8 weeks.
For a few weeks after the surgery, movements that will cause the ear to move back and forth or up and down should not be done. Tight clothing that goes over the head and may come into contact with the ear should not be worn. You can easily take a bath 5-6 days after the operation.
However, the back of the ear should not be thoroughly dried and left wet. It is very important to regularly use anti-inflammatory drugs given after the surgery. You may need to rest for 2-3 days after the operation. In addition, glasses, earrings, etc. for a month. should not be used.
