Otoplasty: ear splinting, pinnaplasty for adults

LONDON - Sept. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- Ear correction is an invasive cosmetic surgery to repair prominent ears, cauliflower ears and many such deformity or disfiguration of the external ears or the pinna that is actually associated with one’s body image and confidence.

While treating young patients ideally between 5 and 14 for an ear correction surgery is easier than treating adults, it is often the case that the patients hadn’t had the surgery at the vulnerable age, for reasons such as parents were more skeptical to let their children into a cosmetic surgery. Or no one realized that protruding ears can be a problem, and luckily the child hadn’t been a victim to the highly common bullying at school to feel for a repair. The perception of body image changes largely as one ages and gains adulthood.  And otoplasty or ear correction surgery is widely and wisely carried out as well.

By all means treating adults for ear correction surgery, is largely done with patient specific strategies of incising and excising, ear cartilage and reshaping methods. It is very important the chosen surgeon or cosmetic clinic is regarded with complete faith and confidence. Choosing board recognized surgeons are ideal to avoid any potential risks.

The surgery doesn’t really require general anaethesia which means the patients to sleep through the procedure, but it is given to children to save them from any delicate emotional apprehension of having a surgery. The anaesthesia is administered intravenously, with optional sedative agents.

The procedure typically involves incisions behind the ears to open the skin and access the ear cartilage. Once the cartilage is exposed, it can then be remodeled, cut with small portins excised, and scaped to meet the desired positioning and pinning.
