"My ears are too big" is a comment complaint from patient. Pinning the ears behind the head solves the whole problem. People with prominent ears are easy targets among friends and colleges. This procedure gives a good result.

Modern techniques in cosmetic otoplasty incorporate both historical procedures and recently developed combined procedures with laser assistance to correct protruding ear or "lop ear" deformity. The multiple-procedure technique is conceptually sound and uses simple, innovative methods to reduce surgery time and yield predictable outcomes for both young and older patients. Early indications are that complications and revision rates have been reduced with the introduction of lasers in otoplasty. Modern technology allows physicians to correct "lop ear" deformity and help amend patients’ distorted self-images.

Though there are a number of different approaches which address this procedure, the most common one involves the reshaping or removing of some of the cartilage behind the ear. After opening the back of the ear, the doctor either removes some of the cartilage or folds it on to itself and sutures it together. Since the work is done on the back of the ear, any scars are usually faint and can be hidden in the creases.

This procedure offers dramatic, immediate results that will last a lifetime. It's a great example of the important psychological benefits that often result from Cosmetic Surgery.

Complications with this procedure have been minimal, with rare instances of infection or hypertrophic scarring. Less than 2-3% of patients require additional surgeries, although occasionally a secondary revision of the anterior Mustardé procedure may be necessary. The conchal set-back technique seems to be long-lasting and permanent with minimal incidence of suture extrusion. The conchal set-back appears to account for 70-80% of the aesthetic correction.

The Procedure

Ear Surgery alone takes approximately 1 hour to perform and may be combined with other facial procedures.

A local anaesthetic is generally used. In addition to the local, various drugs are used before, during and after surgery to make you comfortable and steady.

Dissolving sutures are used which means you do not have to return to the clinic to have them removed.

After surgery, the ears are covered with a dressing that is removed after 4 - 5 days. A support head band will be given to you to wear at night for the next four weeks to prevent damage to the surgery while the ears are healing, during your sleep.

After surgery, any minor pain or discomfort you experience can be controlled with medication. Postauricular Incision

The incision is made in the postauricular crease with the length varying from 2.5 to 2.7 cm.
