In general, we do not pay attention to people’s ears when we see them. But if your ears are unusually large or project from your head you may feel everyone is looking at them. If your child has this problem, he or she may even be teased. Otoplasty improves the appearance of your ears so you can feel good about them.
Otoplasty In Dubai
Otoplasty in Dubai is a cosmetic procedure that modifies, repositions or decreases the size of the ears to create a more proportionate and natural appearance. During the operation the ears are placed in their new position immediately, although the final result may be temporarily obscured by swelling and a little bruising. The vast majority of patients will start to see noticeable improvements within the first few weeks post-procedure as the swelling starts to decrease. This will be done at the same time as the procedure. The ears are usually supported with a protective dressing for the first week which also helps to ensure that the healing process is carried out correctly. Once the dressing is removed the patient will be able to see where the ear has been repositioned but there may still be some swelling inside the ear. Typically, within four to six weeks after treatment, the ears are more refined and natural looking. Over the next several months the tissues continue to settle fully and the final results continue to improve. Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that can be performed on children and adults who want to correct ears that are asymmetrical, protruding, or misshapen. This procedure can therefore greatly improve facial harmony and self-confidence. The biggest advantage of otoplasty is that the results are permanent and usually last for the rest of one’s life. With proper post-operative care and follow-up visits, patients can achieve a more proportionate appearance and greater confidence in their overall facial aesthetics.
What Is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure to change the shape, size or position of your ears. Unlike other aesthetic procedures, otoplasty is so beneficial that it is often performed on children. Otoplasty is a surgical procedure on the ears, which reshapes the cartilage to obtain the desired ear shape. Perfect Doctors Clinic can fix oddly shaped, oversized or protruding ears so you no longer feel self-conscious.
How Does Otoplasty Work?
Otoplasty can be performed on children and adults as young as five years of age, since the ear cartilage is fully grown at this age. Sedation means you or your child will be comfortable during the procedure and will not remember any of it. Your surgeon makes an incision behind the ear, and through it reshapes the cartilage. Changing the shape of the cartilage can bring the ear closer to the head, making it less prominent.

When Will I See Results From Otoplasty?
Your ears will look different right after surgery. But they’ll be swollen, so you won’t see what they will look like right away. Your ears will move to their final position in a few months. Fortunately, you or your child should begin to see dramatic improvements in a week or two.
Many families choose to have their child’s procedure done during a school break. This allows your child to rest and heal during the time when most of the swelling decreases. Children and adults are usually excited about the immediate improvement of otoplasty and even more pleased as they develop over time.
What Are The Benefits Of Ear Surgery?
Ear surgery can be a life-changing procedure at any age and has many benefits. Some of the major advantages of this procedure are:
Increased Confidence
An adult with big or protruding ears may feel that everyone is looking at him. Children can even be teased by their peers. Ear surgery will correct these problems, and help you to feel more confident. Otoplasty can boost your child’s social life, helping him or her to make friends and grow in self-esteem.
More Freedom of Expression
Once you stop worrying about whether people notice your ears, you may feel more free to express your sense of style. Now you don’t have to hide your ears with your hair or shy away from highlighting them. You might even feel confident enough to experiment with new accessories and styles.
Long-Lasting Results
Your ears are made from cartilage, a stiff but flexible material. Your ears stop growing when you are five years old. After that the cartilage remains in place. Then your surgeon will put your cartilage back in place and it will stay there. Results of otoplasty are permanent and will not change as your child grows up.
How Do I Prepare for Ear Surgery?
Your team will give you instructions on how to prepare for your otoplasty. We’ll also cover how to prepare children for the procedure and ease their anxieties. Before surgery we recommend that you do the following:
- Steer clear of NSAIDs like ibuprofen or aspirin
- Avoid supplements that promote bleeding risk
- Avoid smoking for at least four weeks prior to the procedure
- Stop drinking alcohol at least one week before the procedure
Bring a list of your over-the-counter medications and supplements with you to your consultation. Many supplements can cause unexpected side effects.
What is Recovery Like After Ear Surgery?
There’s going to be some bruising and swelling for a few days. We will give you medication for the first few days and after that most people are fine with regular over-the-counter Tylenol. It’s something adults and children can look forward to: five to seven days away from work or school. You will have bandages on your ears until you have your sutures taken out and you will have a head band to wear that protects your ears and holds them in place.
Avoid vigorous activity for at least four weeks, especially any activity that may stress the area of surgery. Do not wear a helmet or any other type of hat for up to six weeks. Watch children so they don’t inadvertently interfere with their ears while they heal.
Am I a Good Candidate for Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is generally a good option for anyone five years of age or older, which includes both adults and children. Ideal candidates are those who are bothered by large or protruding ears and are looking for a solution. Children are especially good candidates if their ears are affecting their confidence or social interactions. You might not be a good candidate if you have certain medical conditions.
