Otoplasty surgery is performed to correct the prominent ear appearance, that is, to create the missing ear fold and to reduce the ear opening to its natural level.
Ear cartilage development occurs almost completely by the age of five or six. Therefore, otoplasty surgery can be performed at any age over the age of five. Performing the surgery in preschool prevents the child from being psychologically affected negatively by preventing inappropriate behaviors from his peers at school due to the ear structure of the child.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia in children and under general or local anesthesia in adults. The surgical method differs for each ear. In order to eliminate the pathology, procedures such as reshaping the cartilage, cartilage thinning, cartilage removal, removal of excess skin are applied individually or in combination
