What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty, commonly referred to as ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the shape, position, or proportion of the ears.

Whether to correct deformities from birth, injury, or to enhance overall appearance, otoplasty can provide significant benefits.

At ASET Hospital, our specialised team offers advanced otoplasty procedures, ensuring exceptional care and optimal patient outcomes.

Otoplasty at ASET Hospital

Otoplasty can address a variety of issues, including protruding ears or earlobe issues, including large or stretched lobes

These concerns can affect individuals of any age, though the procedure is often performed on children aged five and older when the ears have reached near-full growth.

Consultation and Diagnosis

At ASET Hospital, our otoplasty process begins with a detailed consultation. Our team of specialists, including experienced plastic surgeons and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) experts, work together to provide comprehensive care.

Treatment Options

There are different methods to correct prominent ears. At ASET Hospital, our surgeons would discuss all options to meet each patient’s unique needs.

Traditional Otoplasty: This technique involves making an incision behind the ear to expose the cartilage. The cartilage is then reshaped or removed to achieve the desired contour. Stitches are used to hold the new shape in place, and the incision is closed.
Clips Otoplasty: For suitable candidates, this minimally invasive technique involves placing stitches or clips through small incisions to reshape the ear without removing any cartilage. This method can result in less scarring and quicker recovery. However, this technique may not be suitable for all patients
Lobe Repair: For individuals with stretched or torn earlobes, we offer lobe repair procedures to restore a natural look.

Post-Procedure Care and Recovery

Recovery from otoplasty typically involves a short downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week. At ASET Hospital, our dedicated care team provides comprehensive postoperative care to ensure a smooth recovery process:

Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing and address any concerns. These appointments are crucial for ensuring the best possible outcome.
Wound Care: Patients receive detailed instructions on how to care for their surgical sites, including keeping the area clean and protected.
Pain Management: Any discomfort following the procedure is managed with appropriate pain relief measures, ensuring a comfortable recovery.
Activity Restrictions: Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and protect their ears from trauma during the initial healing period.
