Otoplasty at Obesity and Aesthetic Surgery in Tunisia
Otoplasty, also called ear gluing or ear pinning, is an aesthetic surgical procedure that aims to reposition and correct protruding ears. Its purpose is to restore the natural shape to the ears so that they are in perfect harmony with the entire face.
Appearing abnormal, the protruding ears show more or less discomfort in the individual in question. This is how the team of qualified surgeons in Obesity & Aesthetic Surgery offers you its know-how in a cosmetic restorative surgery intervention and invites you to seek advice from one of our surgeons in order to guide you.
The otoplasty intervention
An examination is done beforehand to define the defects in the ear and face. The operation is performed afterwards in the operating room under local or general anesthesia where the mode of anesthesia is determined according to the patient’s age and tolerance. Adults and only children from 7 years old can be operated.
The incision is small, well hidden behind the ear. The cartilage will be accessible for remodeling which will depend on the type and degree of deformation. After an intervention that lasts at least an hour, a bandage will be put around the ears for a few days.
Our surgeons will accompany you throughout the operation to re-glue the ears and guarantee you, thanks to their expertise, an optimal result.
Post-operative suites
The stay of an otoplasty is 5 days. The result is almost immediate with the presence of edema and bruising that will go away within a few weeks. Also, the pain is variable and it is possible but rare to have an infection, bleeding and asymmetry, while the scar remains well hidden behind the ear.
Our skilled surgeons are there to support you and guide you to best practices that will prevent the situation from worsening. Do not hesitate to contact one of our surgeons in order to benefit from a tailor-made ear patching surgery.
