Autoplasty
Autoplasty
Autoplasty is an aesthetic operation that improves the appearance of prominent ears. Other congenital ear anomalies can also be corrected with ear operations. After the surgery, you will have a perfect ear suitable for your face shape. Cartilage protrusions around the ear can be corrected with this aesthetic operation if the ear is curved inward. Since the aesthetic sutures are placed after the surgery, there is no scar in the ear.
How is Autoplasty Performed?
- General anesthesia is applied to the patient before autoplasty.
- The seams in the area where the ear fold will be formed are marked.
- The cartilage is rasped and bent into shape.
- The ear is shaped with the previously planned suture areas.
- The ear surgery is completed by suturing the skin behind the ear.
- After the surgery, a dressing is applied behind the hair band.
Notes From Your Doctor
- A check by the doctor is performed on the 4th and 15th days after prominent ear surgery.
- One day after the surgery, the dressing is changed and a hair band is attached to cover the entire ear.
- The hair band should be worn continuously for about 3 weeks. In this way, the ear folds that want to return to their original state are fixed and the seams are not forced.
- A healthy diet and exercise routine should be established to get fast and permanent results.
- The use of a hair band prevents edema and prevents the ear from rubbing against the pillow while sleeping.
- In the first few weeks after ear aesthetics, hair dryer and blow dryer should be avoided.
- The healing process is completed at the end of 2 weeks.
