Otoplasty

Otoplasty surgery Dubai

Surgical correction of a deformed ear could be a life changer. This minor and minimally invasive procedure can gently alter an earlobe shape and restore its natural look and position.

The asymmetrical or protruding ears could undermine an otherwise attractive face. Therefore, a gentle alteration to the earlobe can bring the ears back to their natural position.

The most common problem is either the shape or the position.

The shape problem is reflected as some curves needing to be adequately developed.

Another common problem is when all curves are present, but the ear needs to be in the correct position, and it somehow rotates out too much. 

Precise alteration benefits a man with short hair and a woman who can’t put their hair together behind their ears.

For the best results, ear reshaping surgery in Dubai (Otoplasty) should be done after the ears reach their full size, usually by age six.

Through minor surgery, new folds and curves can be created, or the ear can be brought closer to the head.

How is surgery for ear correction in Dubai performed?

This minor surgery can be done under local anaesthesia or light narcosis as a day-case procedure.

The incision line is hidden behind the ear, which is not visible. The newest a-traumatic method is to maintain the cartilage spring mechanism. Therefore, a natural and long-term result can be achieved.

The procedure will take one hour, and you can leave the hospital on the same day.

Otoplasty before and after

Before Ear Reshaping Surgery

  • Before the surgery, we will take several pictures and explain the procedure.
  • If you have an ear deformation just on one side, we will work on creating a symmetrical ear on the other side, and if you do want both ears to be reshaped, then we can make an altered image where you can see the outcome.
  •   Before surgery, within a few weeks, we will talk you through our skincare protocol.
  • No smoking, sun exposure, facial or other skin treatments.

After ear reshaping in Dubai

  • On the day of the surgery, we will ask you to bring a hair band or hat for later use.
  • You will have to wear the ear bandage for seven days and only at night until the surgeon tells you it is safe to remove it.
  • Twenty-four hours after the surgery, a constant pressure tape will be placed, which will then be removed the next day in our OPD, and the wound dressing will be changed.
  • You need to be aware that any intervention on the ear cartilage will cause pain or discomfort for five days, but with mild painkillers, it can be easily managed.

Otoplasty Dubai Post-Procedure Recovery

After seven days, you only need an ear bandage to protect yourself from flipping the ear backwards. 

The sutures are dissolvable and do not need to be removed. Also, after five days, you can wash your hair; after even days, your ears will look completely natural.

You also need to know that complications are infrequent, with less than 0.2% risk of infection, fluid collection or change of shape. All these medical problems can be managed in OPD accordingly.
