Otoplasty, also known as cosmetic ear surgery, helps correct the shape, position or size of the ears. You can easily opt for an otoplasty procedure if you are bothered or unsatisfied with how your ears are attached to your head. The procedure is also suitable for you if your sears are not in good shape or you have suffered an injury or congenital disability in your ears.

Before: The otoplasty procedure is done in the hospital on an outpatient basis. The doctors take the help of sedation and local anesthesia which numbs only a particular part of the body.

During: Otoplasty methods are determined by the method that is being used. The technique the doctor chooses to perform will influence the location of the incisions and scars.

After: After the procedure, you will be covered in bandages so that the treatment area is protected and supported. You usually feel some pain and discomfort, and you should take the medications prescribed by your doctor. If you experience immense pain after the procedure, contact your doctor immediately.

Preparation: While you go ahead with the procedure, you will have a consultation with your doctor regarding any current medications you are intaking.

Applying local anaesthesia: administering local anaesthesia will keep the area of treatment numb while keeping the patient awake.

Cleaning the area of treatment: the process is done by removing old scar tissues and correcting the shape of the ears.

Applying fine sutures for proper healing: the process includes quick recovery with minimum scarring.
