Otoplasty

What Is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the shape, size, and position of the ears. It can address a variety of concerns, including:

  • Prominent Ears: Correcting ears that stick out excessively from the head.

  • Asymmetry: Balancing ears of different shapes or positions.

  • Misshapen Ears: Reshaping ears affected by congenital deformities or trauma.

  • Reconstruction: Rebuilding ear structures damaged by injury or surgery.

Otoplasty is a highly customizable procedure, ensuring results that align with the patient’s facial proportions and aesthetic goals.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is suitable for individuals who:

Have Prominent or Misshapen Ears:

Concerns about ear size, shape, or protrusion from the head.

Seek Improved Facial Balance:

Enhance overall facial aesthetics with proportionate ears.

Are in Good Health:

Non-smokers without medical conditions that could impair healing.

Have Realistic Expectations:

Understand the outcomes of the procedure.

Children and Adolescents:

Otoplasty can be performed on children as young as 5-6 years old, once the ears have reached their full size.

The Otoplasty Procedure

The otoplasty process is designed to be safe, efficient, and tailored to the patient’s needs. Here’s what you can expect:

  • 1. Consultation and Planning

  • • Dr. Vikesh Vij will evaluate your ear structure, medical history, and aesthetic goals.
    • A customized surgical plan will be created, detailing the specific technique to be used.

  • 2. Anesthesia

  • Otoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and the complexity of the procedure.

  • 3. Incision Placement

  • Incisions are made behind the ears, where they will be discreetly hidden within natural creases.

  • 4. Cartilage Adjustment

  • • The cartilage is reshaped, repositioned, or reduced to achieve the desired outcome.
    • Internal sutures are used to maintain the new ear position.

  • 5. Closure

  • Incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures, and a protective dressing is applied.

  • 6. Post-Procedure Care

  • Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing and results.

Recovery and Results

Otoplasty is a relatively straightforward procedure with a quick recovery timeline:

  • 1-2 Days Post-Surgery: Mild swelling and discomfort are normal and can be managed with prescribed pain relief.

  • 1 Week Post-Surgery: Protective dressings are removed, and most patients can return to work or school.

  • 2-3 Weeks Post-Surgery: Swelling subsides, and sutures (if not dissolvable) are removed.

  • 6 Weeks Post-Surgery: Full recovery, with the ears settling into their final position.

Dr. Vikesh Vij provides comprehensive follow-up care to monitor your progress and ensure the best possible results.
