What happens during otoplasty surgery at the Dr. Ahmed Abdel Gawad Center?

Otoplasty surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia. This means that only your ears and the surrounding area will be numbed, meaning you will be awake throughout the procedure without feeling any pain. The steps of otoplasty surgery include:

Traditional Surgery

Traditional ear surgery performed by Dr. Ahmed Abdelgawad includes:

  • Making a small incision behind the ear to expose the ear cartilage.
  • Remove small amounts of cartilage if necessary.
  • Reshape the ears or place them closer to the head and then sew them in place.

Traditional otoplasty usually takes one to two hours, and you’ll be able to go home the same day. Your surgeon may place a bandage around your head to help your ears heal in their new position as well as protect them from infection.

Earfold Treatment

The surgeon makes a small incision and inserts the clip or implant into the ear using a small special device. When the implant is in place and stabilized, it regains its natural curved shape. This returns the ear to the desired position.

Frequently asked questions.

The ears have a large effect on appearance and are a prominent

feature on a person’s face. Many women, men and children

feel insecure with the way their ears look and this causes massive

self esteem issues and psychological distress.

In these circumstances they may seek out surgery to correct this.

Both adults and children can have this procedure.

The ideal candidates for ear correction surgery include:

  • Adults of children with prominent or protruding ears
  • An ear size that is disproportionate to the size of the adult or
  • child’s head.

shape or size

Prominent ears very often can be a facial feature that

is genetical and hence runs throughout families.

Prominent ears do not usually cause any hearing issues but children

very often find themselves a victim of bullying due to the size or

shape. Many children have opted to have their ears pinned for that

reason.

It is usually not advisable to have ear correction surgery on children

younger than 6 years old as their facial features will still be maturing.
