Otoplasty -   "Ear Surgery"  
Ear surgery is usually performed to reduce large ears or pin back protruding ears. Usually the operation is performed on children between the ages of 4 and 14, primarily because the ears have fully developed by the time a child turns 4. New ears can be entirely reconstructed through this procedure as well for patients born without lobes or patients who lost them due to an injury.

Reasons To Consider
  1. You want to reduce the size of your ears.
  2. You want to pin back protruding ears.
  3. You want to correct the physical appearance of your ears/earlobes.
Ear surgery generally takes about two or three hours, or around 90 minutes per ear. During surgery, incisions are made just behind the ear, in the natural fold where the ear meets the side of the head, to minimize the visibility of scars. The desired correction is performed identically on both ears, and the incisions are then stitched together.

RECOVERING FROM THIS SURGERY
Post-procedure, the ears may ache for a few days. This temporary pain can be easily alleviated by medication. If you sleep on your side, your sleeping patterns maybe disrupted for a week or so because you are not able to put any pressure on the ear areas. To ensure the best molding and healing, the head is usually wrapped in dressing immediately following the surgery. Within a few days you will be able to remove these bandages and replace them with a thinner headband or dressing. Stitches are removed, or will dissolve, in about a week. Any activity which puts strain on the ears should be avoided for a month or so.
