What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty refers to a group of plastic surgery procedures done to correct deformities of or disfiguring injuries to the external ear. It is the only type of plastic surgery that is performed more often in children than adults. Otoplasty can take many forms, such as bringing the ears closer to the head (often called ear pinning), reducing the size of very big ears or reshaping various bends in the cartilage. Other reconstructive procedures deal with the deformed or absent (microtic) ears. Otoplasty surgery can involve a combination of moving, reshaping, adding or removing structural ear elements. This procedure is usually performed by either an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, plastic surgeon or ENT surgeon.

How Otoplasty is performed?

Most Otoplasty surgery is performed as an outpatient surgery, some require a hospital stay. The procedure can take from an hour and a half to five hours depending on the problem. Anesthetic options depend on the problem to be treated and ability of the patient to cooperate. Typically, surgeon will suggest a general anesthesia for young patients and a local anesthetic combined with a mild sedative for older children and adults. The surgeon makes a vertical incision on the back of each ear exposing the cartilage that is under the skin (this cartilage is what gives the ear firmness and defines its shape). There are two possible procedures for Otoplasty, according to the particular characteristics of each case: a) the surgeon sculpts the cartilage and folds it towards the head to reduce its projection, then he sutures with permanent stitches that will hold it in the desired position. b) The surgeon removes part of the cartilage to achieve a larger reduction before folding it towards the head, then he sutures with permanent stitches that will hold it in the desired position.

Result of Otoplasty:

The results are permanent. Those who used to feel insecure or embarrassed because of their ears tend to feel very satisfied with the changes obtained with this surgery. The normal result of an Otoplasty is a reconstructed or reshaped ear that resembles a normal ear (or the patient's other ear) more closely. In a setback Otoplasty, the normal result is an ear that lies closer to the patient's head without an overcorrected, "pinned-back" look.

Aftercare:

After an Otoplasty, the patient's head is wrapped with a turban-type bandage that is worn for four or five days following surgery. The patient is instructed to wear a ski-type headband over the ears continuously for about a month after the turban is removed and then at night for an additional two months. Warm compresses should be applied to the ears two or three times a day for two weeks after the turban is removed. Patients should follow the surgeon's instructions about washing their hair and avoid holding hot-air blow dryers too close to the ear.

Why consider India for Otoplasty?

Hospitals of Goa and Delhi offer highest treatment level of Otoplasty in India at the most affordable cost to meet all your esthetic needs. In recent years many countries have experienced a shortage of specialty care providers, which has restricted their access to quality and cost effective medical care. In sharp contrast India has concentrated on increasing the availability of specialty cares thereby avoiding the shortage of medical professionals. In fact, the availability of clinical expertise, reasonable surgery costs and internationally trained and educated medical professionals is a major factor in the growth of cosmetic surgery procedures like Otoplasty in India.
