One of the fastest growing cosmetic surgery procedures in the UK is otoplasty, as more people are realising there’s an effective way to change the appearance of protruding ears. What does otoplasty entail, and is it a cosmetic surgery procedure that’s right for you?
Otoplasty changes the appearance of a person’s external ears, and can take various forms such as reducing the size of big ears or re-shaping cartilage. However, one form of otoplasty focuses entirely on bringing the ears closer to the head - a procedure also known as ear pinning. Many people are embarrassed, uncomfortable, or distressed by way their ears protrude, much of the time trying to hide their ears with long hair or by wearing hats. However, ear pinning can quickly and easily remedy the condition of protruding ears, helping people gain their self confidence back.
The actual procedure of otoplasty varies from patient to patient. However, otoplasty procedures can be conducted under either local anaesthetic - where the patient is awake - or under general anaesthetic - where the patient is asleep. Procedures can take anywhere from an hour to a few hours, depending on the patient’s individual surgery requirements, and healing time after an otoplasty varies based on the procedure and the patient. However, the patient is almost always able to go home directly following the procedure. All cosmetic surgeons will schedule a follow up appointment with otoplasty patients, to ensure the cosmetic surgery procedure and healing process have gone as planned.
While otoplasty has been gaining popularity in the world of cosmetic surgery in recent years, it is in fact one of the oldest and most established procedures in the field. It has thus never been safer or simpler to remedy protruding ears with an otoplasty procedure.
Think otoplasty might be for you? The best way to find out is by arranging a consultation with a trusted cosmetic surgeon. A specialist can discuss your aesthetic goals alongside your body’s unique capability to handle a procedure like ear pinning, to ultimately come to a conclusion as to whether the procedure is right for you. A cosmetic surgeon can also give you the best idea of how an ear pinning procedure will look on you.
Otoplasty has helped thousands of people gain their confidence back and achieve the look they want - and is rapidly becoming a popular plastic surgery option for both men and women.
