Ear Surgery
Otoplasty is surgery to reposition prominent or "protruding" ears to a more normal position, closer to the head, or to reduce the size of large ears.
Treatments
- Otoplasty
- Lobuloplasty
- Torn ears
Otoplasty
This procedure is indicated for both adults and children, as it treats protruding ears and lack of folding of the pinna.
- Time: 1-2 hours
- Anaesthesia: Sedation + Local
- Hospitalisation: Not required
- Recovery: 2 weeks
- Results: Immediate
Lobuloplasty
Lobuloplasty allows us to reconstruct lobes that have been torn or opened by the use of body decoration elements such as dilators or piercings. The result is lobes with a healthy and aesthetic appearance.
- Time: 15 minutes
- Anaesthesia: Local
- Hospitalisation: Not required
- Recovery: 2 weeks
- Results: 10 days
Torn ears
It is an outpatient procedure that lasts less than half an hour and is performed under local anaesthesia. As with all surgical procedures, it is performed in an operating theatre to maximise aseptic conditions (cleanliness) and patient safety (allowing the patient's condition to be monitored at all times).
It consists of refreshing the edges of the torn area and then suturing them, both anteriorly and posteriorly.
- Time: 15 minutes
- Anaesthesia: Local
- Hospitalisation: Not required
- Recovery: 2 weeks
- Results: 10 days
