WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty is another name for prominent ear correction surgery. It is
also called as ear aesthetics. Otoplasty is applied for protruding or
large ears where the angle between the scalp and the auricle increases
due to problems in the ear structure.

Ear structure is examined before otoplasty. Ear folds may be
underdeveloped, the cartilage structure is weak outward, strong in the
posterior lower part, and may push the girdle outward, the ear may be
normally large and protruding. The angle between the auricle and the
scalp can be considered normal up to 22-24 degrees, the angles above
this are considered as protruding ears and should be corrected if it
disturbs the person in his/her daily life and social life.

BEFORE OTOPLASTY OPERATION

Before otoplasty, the patient's medical history is carefully taken. If
there are regular medications, chronic diseases, or previous
surgeries, the patient should inform the doctor. After the physical
examination, photographs of the ears are taken and the patient's
expectations are taken. If it is decided that s/he is a suitable
candidate for otoplasty, the patient is asked to stop using aspirin,
anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements that may increase
bleeding before the operation. Smoking can slow blood flow and the
healing process. If the patient smokes, it is recommended to stop
smoking before the surgery and during the recovery period.

AFTER OTOPLASTY OPERATION

After prominent ear surgery, the patient's ears are covered with a
bandage for protection and support. As a result, some discomfort and
itching may be felt. Localized pain and swelling may occur in and
around the ears on the first day after surgery. In this case, pain
relievers can be used as recommended by the doctor. Although it is
recommended to rest for the first week, care should be taken not to
stay still to maintain blood draw. When lying down, a position with
the head up should be preferred. No pressure should be applied to the
ears, patients should not be lying on their sides, if possible,
loose-collared or buttoned tops should be preferred. It is normal for
the ears to be swollen and red when the bandages are removed a few
days after otoplasty. It is recommended to wear a loose headband that
covers the ears at night for 2-6 weeks. This prevents the ears from
bending forward when turning in bed. If a self-dissolving suture is
used, there is no need for suture removal. Otherwise, the stitches
should be removed within the time specified by the doctor. There is no
problem in taking a bath after the bandages are removed after the
surgery, but the back of the ear should not be left wet after the
bath. The creams recommended by your doctor should be used as
recommended for the scar areas. Thus, the formation of traces will be
prevented. Although the bandages are removed at the end of the first 3
days, it is important to wear the bandage at night for the first week
to protect the ears, especially at night, and not to open them by
putting on the pillow during sleep. The first dressing made during the
surgery is checked at the time prescribed by your doctor. After the
dressing area is checked, the bandage is used in line with your
doctor's recommendations. Heavy sports activities should be avoided
for 2 months after the surgery. During this period, walking and
light-paced sportive activities can be done unless there is an
activity that will force the ear. The use of cigarettes and other
tobacco products may cause tissue circulatory disorders and increase
the possibility of adverse conditions such as infection, wound
separation, and thick scars due to their effects that impair wound
healing. It is essential to shield the ear from hits.
