Prominent Ear Surgery
Our ears begin to form at 4th week of intraembryonic life and completed by 22 weeks. At any point during development things can go wrong, resulting in an unsatisfactory ear shape or position but this can be corrected easily most of the time with surgery. prominent ear is one of the most common congenital anomaly which can be treated effectively and safely by an experienced plastic surgeon.
Pinnaplasty and Otoplasty
If you’re unhappy with the shape or position of your ears, you can contact Dr Neeraj at Rejuvenaids, a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon for pinnaplasty or ear correction surgery. Our ears start to take shape in the womb from as early as 4 weeks and development is completed by 22 weeks. Unfortunately, during this period of development, occasionally things may go a little on wrong track – leaving around 2-4 % of population with ears that is not aesthetically appealing. A fairly straight-forward surgery, known as pinnaplasty or otoplasty can easily correct this problem.
Ear correction surgery can be carried out on adults or children, it’s generally advised to wait until the child is at least 5 years of age.
As in most of cases ears are not symmetrical, the work required will likely differ between the two ears. During your consultation at Rejuvenaids, Dr Neeraj will thoroughly asses your ears to guide you towards the best possible intervention to resolve your problem.
During your pinnaplasty or otoplasty, a small incision will be made in groove that sits between the ear and the side of your head for:
- Re-shaping of the ear cartilage
- Removal of excess ear cartilage
- Folding of the cartilage
Once the previously discussed desired shape is achieved, stitches will be placed to hold the ear in its new position and shape. The incision used to access the ear cartilage is hidden in the crease behind the ear, hence scar is almost invisible.
