Ear Reshaping Surgery in Delhi

When the surgeon removes the bandage, one can see that their ears are no longer protruding, and the necessary repairs are also done. The results of the surgery are permanent.

The main aim of otoplasty surgery is to improve the appearance of the large protruding ears. One can see a significant degree of difference after the treatment, but little subtle asymmetries may sometimes be observed after surgery, and to correct them, secondary revision surgery is required. The patient will experience swelling and discoloration after the surgery, and this usually resolves in 1-2 weeks. Infection and bleeding are the most common risks associated with this surgery, and the patient must take antibiotics and other medications as advised by the surgeon. This helps to minimize the risk of infection.

The patient must always consult a certified and experienced surgeon to get the best results. The patient must discuss their concerns with the surgeon. The surgeon also evaluates the particular patient for physical examination, general health, studies patient history, discusses the patient’s expectations, and recommends a course of action. The surgeon also discuss the risk, procedure, and benefits involved with the surgery.

• Have a healthy and good and balanced diet before the treatment.
• Stop smoking and alcohol consumption as smoking decreases the flow of blood and can slow the wound healing process. The patient must make sure that after the surgery, they must be accompanied by an attendant may be their friend or relative or someone to take them home, as the effect of anesthesia takes some time to go away.
• Do not consume blood-thinning medications for a few days before the treatment.

The outer ears are usually positioned in the side of the head at an angle of 20 to 35 degrees, and they appear to stick out if the angle is more than that of 35 degrees.

There are many factors that cause protruding ears:

• Genetic factors.
• Injury or trauma caused to the ear can cause prominent ears.
• Overproduction of the cartilage that leads to over development of cartilage in the pinna part of the earrings.
• Not folding of the ridge of cartilage (outer edge of the ear) present at the top of the ear and this occurs due to less production of collagen.

This involves a head dressing (soft head-wrap) which is wrapped to protect the ear for a few days; this helps to reduce swelling and ear pressure. The patient can return home on the same day after the surgery. Medications for pain are required for a few days, even after the sutures are removed. While sleeping, the patient is advised to wear a headband for a few weeks.

Note: Congenital absences of ears can be treated in a staged manner, which takes approximately a couple of years after the child is six years old.
