What is Prominent ear correction (otoplasty)

Prominent ear correction (otoplasty), sometimes called ear pinning, is a procedure to reshape and reposition the ears so they sit closer to the head. It’s commonly performed on asymmetrical ears and can be suitable for both adults and children. The ain is a natural, balanced result that fits the face.

What are the benefits of ear correction surgery?

Ear correction surgery can significantly enhance the appearance of the ears. In addition, it can improve self-confidence, especially for individuals who have been self-conscious about their ear shape or size. In addition, it can also:

Increased self-confidence

Many people who are self-conscious about their ears may feel more confident after undergoing otoplasty. By correcting aesthetic concerns and bringing the ears into a more desirable shape or position, individuals often experience a boost in self-esteem and may feel more at ease in social and professional situations.

Improved psychological well-being
Correcting ear abnormalities or prominent ears can have a positive impact on an individual’s psychological well-being. It can alleviate feelings of self-consciousness, and enhance overall body image satisfaction.
Correcting birth defects or injuries
Ear correction surgery can address congenital ear deformities that individuals are born with. If you have received injuries, it can also help reconstruct or repair ears.
Long-lasting results
Otoplasty typically provides permanent results, meaning that the changes made to the ears are enduring. Once the ears have healed and settled into their new position, the results are generally long-lasting. This allows individuals to enjoy the benefits of the surgery for years to come.

why do people have ear correction surgery?

The most common issues that ear correction surgery can address include:

Prominent or protruding ears

This refers to ears that stick out excessively from the head. Otoplasty can reshape the cartilage and bring the ears closer to the head for a more balanced appearance.

Large ears

If the size of the ears is disproportionate to the rest of the facial features, we can perform ear reduction surgery to reduce their size.

ear shape concerns

Otoplasty can also correct various ear deformities. This includes:

Constricted or cupped ears (where the outer rim of the ear is abnormally shaped), Lop ear (when the top of the ear folds downward), Shell ear (when the curve in the outer rim is missing).

How is surgery performed?

Ear correction surgery (otoplasty) for prominent ears is typically performed using the following steps:

Anaesthesia:
The procedure is usually carried out under local anesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. The type you use will depend on the patient’s preference and the surgeon’s recommendation.
Incision placement:
The surgeon will determine the most appropriate incision placement based on the specific needs of the patient. Typically, these are on the back surface of the ear, where they remain unseen within the natural creases and contours.
Cartilage reshaping:
After making the incisions, the surgeon gains access to the ear cartilage. They will then reshape and reposition the cartilage to achieve the desired outcome. This may involve techniques such as scoring, folding, or removing a portion of the cartilage.
Stitching and securing:
Once reshaped, the surgeon will secure the cartilage it in the new position using internal sutures. This helps to maintain the newly formed shape and position of the ear.
Incision closure:
The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures to ensure proper healing. The sutures used can either be absorbable, which dissolve over time, or non-absorbable. If non-absorbale we will remove these during a follow-up appointment.
Dressing and bandaging:
Following the procedure, the surgeon will apply a dressing or bandage around the ears to provide support and protection during the initial healing phase. This dressing may be in the form of a head wrap or a specialized bandage.

The specific details of the procedure may vary depending on the individual’s unique ear anatomy and the extent of correction required. It’s important to book a consultation with us so we can evaluate your specific situation, discuss the procedure in detail, and address any concerns or questions you may have.

Recovery time varies, but most patients can expect swelling and mild discomfort in the first week. A protective headband s usually worn day and night initially, then at night for a short period to protect the ears while sleeping. We’ll give you clear aftercare guidance and reveiw you during healing.

Week 1: Swelling/bruising settles, bandage/headband protection

Weeks 2-3: Return to most normal routines (depending on your job)

Weeks 4-6: exercise gradually resumes, shape continues to refine
