FAQs about otoplasty
Intervention
It should be noted that ears are not perfectly symmetrical and that minor asymmetries may persist after surgery.
The incisions made in the auricle are located behind the ear and are usually imperceptible.
The duration of an otoplasty procedure in Girona is usually one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the technique used. Once the surgery is completed, the patient is taken to the recovery room until the medical team provides them with discharge and post-operative medication.
This intervention can be performed on children from the age of 7, by which time the development of the ear has already finished. In the case of children, we must wait for them to show discomfort with their ears; we should not point out the defect, which could create a non-existent complex for them.
Correction of prominent ears
The defect of prominent ears is caused by one or two problems:
- The concha is too big; it's the angle from the ear to the skull.
- Lack of an antihelix fold, found at the top of the ear.
Anaesthesia
We perform otoplasty in Girona under local anaesthetic, but especially with children, we administer a light sedation, which allows the doctor to work more comfortably and keeps the child calm and relaxed during the procedure.
Postoperative
You will need to wear a headband for a few days to keep your ears in the correct position and aid the swelling reduction process.
Otoplasty in Girona is not an overly uncomfortable procedure, although it is normal for the outer ear to undergo a more or less obvious inflammatory process in the first few days, which will gradually disappear over time.
It is important to keep the dressing on for the first few days, day and night, then only at night for a few more days.
You can return to your normal activities after a week. It is not recommended to engage in strenuous activities or heavy physical work.
To assess the final results, we must wait approximately four weeks.
