What is otoplasty and to whom is it recommended?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct the auricles, the purpose of which is to correct the shape, size, or position of the ears relative to the head. The most common reason for treatment is hearing loss, when the ears protrude excessively. The procedure is also used for injuries, developmental abnormalities and asymmetry of the auricles. Otoplasty is recommended for children over the age of five and adults who are dissatisfied with the shape or location of the ears.

What are the types of otoplasty and how are they performed?

The types of otoplasty depend on the purpose of the correction. The main option is to reposition the auricle closer to the head (with lop-eared ears). There are two main methods: cartilage resection and fixation with filaments. In the first case, a part of the cartilage is excised, in the second, the cartilage remains intact, fixed with special stitches. Sometimes the earlobe is additionally corrected or hypertrophied tissue is removed. The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia, the duration of the procedure is about an hour.
