Prominent ears correction
Correction
of prominent ears (otoplasty) is a short, maximum 1 hour procedure. The
procedure is performed in local anaesthesia and consists of suitable
incision behind the auricle, in order to expose the cartilage. After
thinning of the cartilage it is well modeled. The surgeon puts
dissoluble stitches and a special dressing. 
The dressing should be worn
for 7 days, after the time also stitches are removed and the
non-soluble sutures are used.
Performing the procedure in local anaesthesia allows patients to leave
the clinic on the day of the surgery. The surgery itself runs without
any pain but after the surgery for 2-3 days a patient can feel pain and
discomfort in treated area. It can be controlled by painkillers.
It is very important to pay special attention to the reactions of own
organism in the first four weeks, although there are no symptoms of
previous operation, a patient should avoid extreme atmospheric
conditions. A lot of rest is recommended in order to allow fast
healing. There is a need also to avoid sun tanning, extensive sun
exposure and use of sauna.
Just like for any other procedure, there is a risk of infection, bleeding, permanent tensions, creation of scars or swelling. Final result of the surgery is visible after about a month.
Short time of procedure, no need of hospitalization, no pain and quick recovery causes, that this operation is often performed in adults and children.
