Otoplasty can be an appropriate procedure for both adults and children.
Making the right decision can be difficult; read on for some information
about cosmetic ear surgery.

Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is done to change the
appearance of a person’s external ears. For anyone who feels their ears
are too big, too small, or stick out too much, this is probably the type
of surgical intervention you dreamed about as a child but may not have
even realized was possible. otoplasty is probably one of the least
complicated plastic surgeries of all of the different types of cosmetic
surgeries available and has the best rates for low complications after
surgery.
otoplasty can include a wide variety of procedures from reducing ears
that are too large, bringing ears in that are too far away from the
skull (pinning the ears), enlarging ears that are too small, and
repairing birth defects or defects from an accident.
Surgery is available for both adults and children. Most surgeons prefer
children be at least four years old so their ears are fully formed and
shaped before they undertake a cosmetic repair. Children are put under
general anesthesia for surgery while adult patients can choose between
general or local anesthesia.
Children who undergo cosmetic surgery are generally being targeted by
bullying and teasing due to their ears, and parents have reported that
surgery raises their children’s self esteem and stops further social
withdrawal while they are young enough to rebuild social skills.
Depending on what procedure is performed on the ears the surgery takes
anywhere from two to five hours, and immediately afterwards the
patient’s head is wrapped in heavy bandages to protect the ears and help
with healing. After a week or so the bandages are replaced with lighter
bandages and then are removed. During the recovery time patients will
experience some swelling and bruising that is natural with any surgery
and may have some throbbing achy pain on their ears that is controlled
with pain medication.
After the bandages are removed patients are still required to sleep with
a headband type bandage on to protect their ears and aid in the healing
process. Extreme heat and cold can cause ear numbness, so activities
such as using a blow dryer must be avoided until the healing process is
complete.
The cost for otoplasty will depend on a variety of factors including
your location, the procedure you choose,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], how complex your surgery is and
your doctor, but costs are usually around two to five thousand dollars
not including the cost for pre and post op care.
Like most cosmetic surgeries this is done on an out patient basis
although some patients,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including children,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], may have to spend the night
at the hospital for recovery, which will of course increase your total
cost.
