Prominent Ear Aesthetics

Get Ideal Ear Sizes with Otoplasty!

Although the prominent ear appearance does not pose a health problem, individuals with this type of ear may experience discomfort from this appearance aesthetically. In some individuals, it is observed that it affects self-confidence negatively. With prominent ear aesthetics (Otoplasty), it is possible to have ears that look aesthetically pleasing in ideal sizes.

How is Prominent Ear Surgery Performed?

Prominent ear appearance is one of the congenital anatomical disorders. It occurs in most individuals from a young age. It is possible for individuals who are uncomfortable with the ear structure to relieve these discomforts with otoplasty.

Otoplasty is a minor surgical procedure. It is applied under general anesthesia in young individuals and local anesthesia in adults. In otoplasty, a small incision is made at the back of the ear and the excess skin is removed and the ear is brought to the ideal size. The application takes about 1-2 hours.

After Prominent Ear Aesthetics

After prominent ear surgery, the patient should rest at home for 2-3 days. Dressing should be done in accordance with the doctor's instructions, and care should be taken not to bend the ear during the 1-2 month recovery period. After the application, a small scar can be seen in the incision area, but since the incision is made on the back of the ear, this scar cannot be noticed from the outside. The patient can return to daily activities in a short time. The incision area should remain bandaged for approximately 2-3 weeks.
