About Otoplasty

You can draw everything you hear in your mind. To listen; It means to perceive sound. Every sound has a soul. Each individual’s tone of voice is unique. And we do not forget the sound we hear, as the image we see.

Sound; It is the vibration that we hear with our ear, which is our hearing organ, which spreads around with waves. The poet said that the sky also has a voice. And you can calmly hear all the noises on earth. Our organ that enables us to hear the sounds that occur around us is our “ear”, which provides integrity with our face.

Our organs in our bodies have responsibilities. Our ears enable us to hear the life we ​​live, and our eyes enable us to see the life we ​​live. Life is a matter of being whole. Because the traces left by unfinished things on people are deeper. I still remember a story my mother told me when I was little. My mother had an uncle named Mesut. He always wore a hat because her ears were scooped. Uncle Mesut’s solution that day was to wear a hat. However, prominent ear surgery, which is now easy and healthy, is the shortest solution. Health problems that occur in the bodies of individuals also increase their aesthetic concerns. This affects the person psychologically. The aesthetic surgery operation that comes into play in this area is otoplasty.

The distance of the ear to the base of the skull and its internal angles may differ. If the folds of the ear are faint and the distance from the base of the skull is too long, it is called the ‘scoop ear’. In addition, prominent ear appearance occurs for two reasons. One of them is the incomplete formation of the antihelix fold in the ear and the overdevelopment of the conchal cartilage in the ear fold.

Otoplasty is an ear shaping operation applied to remove prominent ear appearance, large ear appearance, insufficient folds in the auricle. Prominent ear is genetically inherited. Prominent ear appearance is more common in men. The prominent ear is permanently corrected by otoplasty plastic surgery. The operation is based on the removal of excess skin in the ear with incisions made behind the ear. In addition, you can plan the image you want together with the guidance of your doctor before the surgery. At the end of otoplasty surgery, you will have almost no scars. The most important thing in otoplasty aesthetic surgery is to shape the shape that is compatible with the size of your face with the most appropriate angle. One of the most applied methods in ear aesthetics is the reduction of cartilage by rasping.

Otoplasty surgery is an operation that takes approximately 1–2 hours by applying local anesthesia. Dressing can be done for about 10 days after the operation. It is important to protect it in a clean and hygienic manner after surgery. Ears are bandaged to protect ear tissue and facilitate healing. The dressings remaining between 2–4 days are removed and it is ensured to remain with a lighter dressing. In addition, if there are stitches that during the surgery, the stitches are removed after the surgery with the control of the doctor. The full recovery period of the ear is between 2–6 months. It is also important not to lie on the ear for a week. You can take a bath and use a moisturizer after the opened dressings.

Sometimes, for reasons beyond our control, we may encounter some problems. The important thing is that we manage this process well. In prominent ear surgery, we must first start by relaxing ourselves. The process begins when we want change. Therefore, we must prepare ourselves for this change. We should trust our doctor and continue with his guidance in the process. On the page of a book I was reading, it was written, “It is necessary to walk in the harmony of change.” Every change has an adaptation process. There will also be an adjustment period after otoplasty surgery. You will regain your new look and health in a short time. I wish you to get lost in sentences that you hear very beautiful voices and murmur with love.
