Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgery to change the appearance of a person's external ears. Otoplasty can take many forms, such as bringing the ears closer to the head (often called ear pinning), reducing the size of very big ears, or reshaping various bends in the cartilage. Otoplasty surgery can involve a combination of moving, reshaping, adding, or removing structural ear elements. With Otoplasty the prominent ear can be surgically corrected to a more aesthetically pleasing shape with a lower profile from the head. During the procedure, through an incision behind the ear, the cartilage is reshaped to the desired contour, using stitches placed in the rear of the ear, which do not show after surgery.
The patient will be under the influence of general anesthetia. The procedure of this surgery goes as firstly the surgeon will mark the surgery area. The skin is then raised off of the back of the ear and this allows a small file to be passed to the front of the ear which is used to gently score the cartilage where the fold is to be created. After making markings in the cartilage, stitches are placed through the back of the ear cartilage without going all the way through the front of the ear. After a series of these sutures are placed, they are tied down, thus creating a folding of the ear to create the normal contour. A lightly compressive ear dressing is placed and your head is wrapped to hold it in place. After the surgery patient has to wear a lightly compressive elastic headband (ladies' hair band) for one month after surgery, only when sleeping. This is done to avoid inadvertent stress on the closure and the corrective sutures.
