What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is the protrusion of the ears more than normal. It is called prominent ear deformity when it is seen clearly and attracts attention when viewed from the front or from behind.
Although it does not cause any health problems, it can lead to a loss of psychological self-confidence and social anxiety. With the cosmetic procedure, otoplasty, patients can regain their confidence.
Prominent ear aesthetic surgery, which is applied to people with significant ear complaints, is the reshaping of the auricle and bringing it into a more aesthetic shape. There are many techniques and methods for ear aesthetic surgery.

Otoplasty Methods
There are three different procedures for Otoplasty operation.
Incisionless Otoplasty
Incisionless otoplasty is one of the otoplasty procedures used to correct protruding ears. Although there are various surgical procedures that can be used to address the disease, incisionless otoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure with a quicker recovery and a decreased risk of complications.
Lop Ear Otoplasty
Constricted ear deformity, also known as lop ear deformity, is a medical condition where the upper section of the ear folds forward. Lop ear Otoplasty is a surgical procedure used to correct this condition. This deformity can range in severity from minor to severe. The upper ear's folding can obscure normal ear details, give the impression that the ears are unusually small, and make the ears "stick out" more than usual.
One Ear Otoplasty
The patients will only have one ear operated on using the otoplasty technique. The primary goal of this method is to rectify an abnormality or to enhance attractiveness, as is typical for other otoplasty procedures. The pinna, or outer ear, is simply reshaped by surgeons to accomplish that. Therefore, you should go for one ear otoplasty if you're thinking about changing your appearance by having just one ear correction procedure.
Before Otoplasty Operation
The patient, who is a candidate for ear aesthetics, is informed about the details of the before the procedure. Animations are made about the possible results of the planned intervention in front of the mirror. This is the most important factor that eliminates the patient's stress coefficient and concerns related to the possible outcome. As recommended in all kinds of surgical procedures, patients are asked to reduce smoking or even take a break for a while, to stop taking blood thinners, if any, and to take a break from some vitamins or herbal medicines for a few days before the procedure.
After Otoplasty Operation
The most important rule while doing this process is to keep the natural appearance of the ear intact. It is possible for you to go home right after the surgery. The ear remains bandaged for 2-3 days. You can take a shower after removing the bandage. There may be edema (swelling) and bruising in the ear after the surgery, which returns to normal within 1-2 weeks. A soft bandage resembling a sports band can be used on the head in the evenings for 2-3 weeks. Children can return to school after a week, if they pay attention while playing. Most adults can return to work after 3-4 days. With aesthetic surgeries on the ear, not only deformities in the ear are achieved, but also a striking improvement in the psychological state of the person. You will no longer have to cover your ears with your hair.
