Otoplasty – cosmetic ear surgery Kraków
Many of us remember when our mothers used to make us wear ear headbands so that our ears are “close” to the head and do not protrude. Unfortunately, this method did not bring the expected results and many adults still have the problem of protruding ears. We can hide it by wearing our long hair loose all the time. However, we might as well consider undergoing a procedure that will solve the problem permanently. Protruding ear correction is a surgical procedure that is aimed at improving the shape of the auricles. There are numerous techniques of correcting protruding ears or restoring auricles after traumas. Each ear operation depends on the previous appearance of the auricles and the patient’s expectations. At first, the doctor administers a local anaesthetic. When it starts to take effect, the surgeon cuts out the excess skin behind the ear and makes an excision or a cut in order to reshape the cartilage properly. Immediately after this activity, the surgeon places sutures that cover the wound and help it heal, and then apply a dressing and a compression band. At DER-MED Centre, otoplasty and ear correction are performed by an experienced surgeon. We give the highest priority to safety. During a single procedure, we can perform both protruding ear correction and torn earlobe plastic surgery. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, which means that the patient does not have to be hospitalised and can fully return to everyday duties, even on the same day.
Protruding ear plastic surgery is dedicated to both women and men. The procedure is aimed at eliminating the problem of protruding ears and making them closer to the head. The surgeon performing the procedure shapes the auricular cartilage and places stabilising sutures. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, it does not require hospitalisation and the patient can safely return home. After 7-14 days, the patient comes for a follow-up consultation and the sutures are removed. Ear correction and earlobe reconstruction (e.g. after ear tunnels) are safe, minimally invasive procedures that yield permanent results. The scar after the intervention is invisible and previously loose hair can be tied back in a ponytail. Learn more details about the procedure.undefined
