Otoplasty (Ear Corrective Surgery)
SKIN EXPERTS UNITED KINGDOM
Ears come in many shapes, sizes and prominence. However, adults with otherwise normal ears, feel that theirs mark them out as different. The most common concern is with so called prominent ears. A plastic surgery procedure called an Otoplasty is available to correct this concern.
Treatment cost starting from £2,500.
About Ear Corrective Surgery
Procedure is performed under local anaesthetic. The operation will last about 90 minutes. An incision is made behind the ear with the eventual line scar lying in the crease or close to it. Sutures, carefully placed and tensioned, will reposition and alter the shape of the ear. Sometimes a little cartilage is required to be removed. After closing with sutures, the ears are carefully splinted and cushioned in a dressing which covers both ears and wraps around the head. You will go home later the same day.
The operation is not a painful one, but there may be some discomfort. This is best controlled with paracetamol.
