OTOPLASTY SURGERY
 
 
This is a procedure done for protruding or over-developed ears. Otoplasty is commonly referred to as “pinning back” of the ears and is done in children once their ears have stopped developing, around the age of six and also in adults. Over-developed ears can be the cause of psychological stress and trauma and should be treated at a young age before it becomes a serious issue.
 
Before surgery
 
To better understand your overall health, we will evaluate your medical history prior to surgery. In addition, a complete examination of your ears is made in order to take the most effective surgical approach. All issues such as shape and types of anesthesia used will be discussed.
 
We will provide you with pre-operative instructions that may include the elimination of specific drugs containing aspirin several weeks before surgery to minimize excess bleeding. Antibiotics may also be prescribed to prevent infection.
 
The areas that will be excised are marked and digital photographs are taken in order to document the amount of improvement after surgery.
 
The Procedure
 
The procedure can be performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia and the doctor will discuss this option with you. We can either fold the cartilage located on the back of the ear or remove the excess cartilage which differs from case to case. Sutures are placed and bandages applied to speed the healing process. The procedure typically takes only a few hours
 
Post-Operative Information
 
After the operation patients should expect bruising around the area that fades in 2-3 weeks. Pain associated with operation is minimal and can be easily treated with oral medication. The bandages are only needed for a few days and should be replaced with a lighter dressing. Refraining from sleeping on the ears is required and patients are advised to use a very soft pillow. Showering shampoo may begin after a few days. Expect two to three days of recovery before normal activities can be performed.
 
Aftercare
 
Wound Care - Incisions may be cleaned with dilute peroxide and coated with bactroban cream as needed.
 
Activity – Increase activity as tolerated with no heavy exercise for two weeks.
Special Instructions – After dressing is removed, wear support band at least half time for three to six weeks. The more it can be worn the first week, the better.
 
Signs of Hematoma – Painful extreme hardness or bleeding often accompanied by bruising, usually unilateral causing asymmetry.
