Prominent Ear

Prominent Ear surgery is a plastic surgery procedure to change the shape and size of the ears. Prominent ear is a condition that occurs due to genetic factors as well as other factors that affect ear shape. Prominent ear surgery aims to achieve a more natural appearance by making the ears smaller, less protruding and in a position closer to the head. The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours. During the surgery, the ear cartilage is shaped and the ear folds are brought to a more natural shape. This process is completed by fixing the ears in a position closer to the head. After the procedure, the patient may need to wear a head bandage and the patient is usually discharged on the same day.

There are a few things to consider after the surgery. For example, pain, swelling and bruising are normal for the first few days and these symptoms disappear within a few weeks. It is also recommended that the patient keep his head up and not wash his face while lying down for the first few days. Also, activities such as sports or heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks.

Prominent ear surgery is generally a safe procedure, but like any surgery, it has some risks. These risks may include infection, bleeding, delayed wound healing, and nerve damage. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to consult with a plastic surgeon before the operation and to be informed about the potential risks and benefits of the surgery. In conclusion, prominent ear surgery is an effective method to change the shape and size of the ears and achieve a more natural appearance. However, it is important to follow certain steps before and after the surgery and it is necessary to be informed about the potential risks of the surgery.
