How does ear plasty work?

Ear correction in Warsaw can be performed for people whose auricles protrude slightly or significantly from the head. During the visit, our specialist will provide detailed information about the course of the operation. In the case of a slight protrusion of the ears, the procedure is simpler. It involves cutting the skin and exposing the cartilage, and then placing sutures to correct the position of the auricle. Those with significantly protruding ears undergo a more complicated procedure. The surgeon chooses the method of otoplasty based on his experience and his knowledge. It may involve cutting the cartilage completely or incising it at the level of the grobel (the convex, arched part of the auricle). The incised cartilage is then molded, making the final appearance of the patient’s ear completely different from the original. After the surgery, the patient should follow the doctor’s instructions, as the success of the ear shape metamorphosis and a smooth recovery depend on it. Right after the operation, the ear tissue may be bruised and swollen. A dressing is placed over the surgical wound, which is supported by a headband. This security ensures that it stays in place and the ears are further protected from injury. The patient should wear the protective headband for about a month after surgery, and after that, wear it overnight for another three weeks.

How to prepare for otoplasty?

Prior to ear plastic surgery at our clinic in Warsaw, it is necessary to have a consultation with a specialist. At that time, the doctor collects a detailed history of the patient’s health and the medications he is taking. He checks the condition of the auricles, paying special attention to the elasticity of the cartilage and the depth of the shell. Before otoplasty, tests such as blood count, basic coagulation parameters, glucose and electrolyte levels should be performed. Two weeks before the scheduled procedure, the patient must give up smoking and stop acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) preparations. It is also advisable to take care of the right attitude and prepare mentally for the procedure. Depending on what the doctor recommends and what the patient decides on, otoplasty can be performed with local anesthesia or under anesthesia. In the latter case, a short hospitalization is required.

Ear correction – is it worth it?

For some people, plastic surgery may seem like an unnecessary interference with a person’s appearance. However, our experience and numerous reviews indicate that for many patients, correction of protruding ears is extremely important – it significantly improves their quality of life. While infants and toddlers are not usually affected by protruding ears, preschoolers and school-aged children can already suffer severely from unpleasant comments from others regarding their slightly different appearance. Then it is much better to perform surgery to correct the shape of the auricles, supporting the child to enjoy a peaceful and carefree childhood. Protruding ears also in adulthood can significantly interfere with the full enjoyment of life. Ridiculous comments and jibes often cause despondency in those with noticeably deviated earlobes. Modern aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery offer great opportunities for modifying the human body. Innovative scientific achievements make it possible to make changes to various parts of the body for medical and aesthetic reasons, which helps patients achieve full satisfaction with their appearance and often restores their enjoyment of life.
