About otoplasty
Otoplasty is a procedure that changes the shape and size of the ears or reattaches them if they protrude from the head. The plastic surgeon removes excess cartilage from the ear and attaches the ears back using an ear clip.
Protruding ear correction (also known as pinnaplasty) is a procedure used to modify the shape or location of excessively prominent ears. This operation can be performed on adults under local anesthesia, but children require general anesthesia.
Eligible candidates for ear plastic surgery include:
- Adult children with prominent ears.
- The ear size is not proportional to the adult or child’s head size.
- The ears are asymmetrical.
- Loss of self-confidence, and increased psychological fears due to the shape or size of the ear.
What happens during ear plastic surgery at Dr. Ahmed Abdel Gawad Center?
Otoplasty surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, which means that only your ears and the surrounding area will be numbed. That means you will not experience any pain and will remain awake during the entire process. The steps of ear plastic surgery are:
(Traditional Surgery)
Dr. Ahmed Abdel Gawad performs traditional ear surgery, which includes:
- Make a small incision behind the ear to expose the ear cartilage.
- Remove small amounts of cartilage if necessary.
- Reshape the ears or place them close to the head, and then sew them in place.
Traditional otoplasty usually takes one to two hours. You will be able to go home the same day, and the surgeon may apply a bandage around your head. This helps your ears recover in their new position and protects them from infection.
Earfold Treatment
The chip is implanted in the ear in a curved shape. The surgeon makes a small incision and inserts the clip into the ear using a small, special device. When the clip is in place and secured, it regains its natural curved shape again, returning the ear to its desired position.
