An otoplasty procedure refers to the surgical and non-surgical correction of the external ear, also referred to as the pinna. These procedures are designed to correct any deformities or defects on the outer ear shell. Reconstruction is also possible with otoplasty, delivering a comprehensive solution to people in need of such a procedure. Otoplasty is considered an elective surgery that can provide solutions to people of any age. However, the younger the candidate, the more beneficial the surgery would be. Centurion Cosmetic Clinic offers a selection of cosmetic surgery procedures, which includes ear surgery.
This type of surgery is normally done to correct prominently shaped ears, setting the external ears closer to the side of the head. It can also be done to reduce the size of abnormally large ears. As this operation is so effective, it is mostly done on children between 4 and 14 years of age. The outer ear shell is almost fully developed in shape by the age of 4, at which point only the size of the external ear will keep on growing. Thus, correcting the shape at a young age will be most beneficial to a child.
Otoplasty is a sensible solution for children with abnormally shaped and sized ears. This procedure can boost the confidence of a child, removing an abnormality for which they can be ridiculed in school or similar social environments. Ear surgery can also provide solutions for adults, as there are no additional risks involved when factoring in age. As this type of surgery is cosmetic, and completely elective, the overall risks are few and the results can be life-changing. No matter the age of the candidate, we can offer feasible solutions regarding otoplasty.
As with any medical procedure, it is crucial to get as many information as possible before you make a final decision. Therefore, we recommend consulting a medical professional about the procedure before-hand. Luckily, otoplasty only has a few possible risks involved, which would usually include the possibility of infection. This can cause some scar tissue to form on the infected area and can be effectively treated with antibiotics. In conclusion, otoplasty carries much more value than risk for potential candidates. This type of surgery can renew confidence in both adults and children, with minimal risks involved when conducted by a medical professional.
