How is Aesthetic Ear Surgery Performed?

In aesthetic ear surgery, the patient's 'aesthetic' expectations are of great importance in eliminating deformities in the ears and giving the ears the ideal size and shape. Considering these expectations, the aesthetic surgeon creates the scope of the operation by presenting the method recommendations to the patient, which will ensure that the result is appropriate and closest to the natural, in accordance with the general face structure of the patient and the proportion of the facial features with each other. In the aesthetic ear surgery operation, the intervention is performed with an incision made behind the ear, and the desired corrections are provided in the cartilage structure that gives the ear its shape through this incision. The surgical operation is completed by placing the stitches that will fix the shape of the ear and wrapping the ears with a dressing. Aesthetic ear surgery can be performed with local anesthesia in young people and adults. Surgical operations performed in young children are mostly preferred to be performed with general anesthesia. After these surgical operations, patients can have an ear shape as they 'imagine'. The operation performed with general anesthesia takes an average of 1 – 1.5 hours.
