Surgical Procedure.

Otoplasty is a short and outpatient procedure. During the procedure, the ear cartilage is reshaped to restore the position, size, and shape of the ears. The duration may vary, but it generally takes several hours to achieve precise and satisfactory results.

Why Choose to Have the Surgery?

Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that can be performed in childhood as well as in adulthood. In children, it is typically done when their ear development is complete, around 6-8 years of age, to address prominent ears and prevent potential self-esteem issues. However, a significant number of adults also seek this procedure to correct asymmetries, deformities, or improve the appearance of ears that are prominent or have birth defects. Additionally, otoplasty can be useful in ear reconstruction after an accident. Otoplasty is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the patient's preferences and the surgeon's recommendation.

Post-Operative Care

It is recommended to use an elastic band for the first two weeks and avoid exercise. The micropore bandages will be removed by the surgeon in the early postoperative days, and it is essential to keep them dry during showers. Sleeping with the head elevated and face up is advised to protect the ears during the healing process. Normal physical activity can be resumed after a month, and sun exposure should be done with sunscreen in the operated area after the first month.

Our results

The results of this procedure are visible immediately but become more apparent once the dressings are removed, and swelling subsides in a few weeks. These results are long-lasting and naturally maintained, providing satisfaction and increased self-confidence.

Common Questions about Otoplasty

Clarify your doubts and discover everything you need to know about ear surgery

There are two types of ear surgery: ear pinning, which reduces the projection and angle of the ear by removing cartilage and reshaping other structures, and microtia or anotia, which involves extracting and reshaping rib cartilage from the patient to create the appearance of a normal ear, utilizing its natural curvature.
After the surgery, it is normal to experience temporary decreased sensitivity in the treated area, as well as possible bruising and swelling, which typically improve over time. Scarring usually remains hidden behind the ears and is barely noticeable, although in exceptional cases, keloids may develop. It is important to consider that everyone has a natural degree of ear asymmetry, so maintaining realistic expectations regarding postoperative symmetry is crucial.
Otoplasty is a short and outpatient procedure. During the surgery, the ear cartilages are redesigned to restore the position, size, and shape of the ears. The duration can vary, but generally, it takes several hours to achieve precise and satisfying results.
After otoplasty, patients may experience some swelling and mild discomfort, which is usually manageable with prescribed medications. Dr. Carlos Recio will provide detailed instructions for a smooth and efficient recovery.
Generally, patients can return to their normal activities in approximately one to two weeks. It’s important to avoid any direct contact with the ears during this period to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
