Correction of protruding ears is among the most common procedures in aesthetic and corrective surgery. Deformity of the ear in terms of protruding is the most common hereditary anomaly among the many strains on the outer part of the ear. It is noticed immediately after birth, and later, especially during puberty, creating deep dissatisfaction. Correction of ear deformity, before enrolling a child in school, can spare the emotional trauma caused by other children teasing him because of ears sticking out of hair.
About the procedure
Correction of the ears, also called Otoplasty, is usually done in childhood, but the procedure can be subjected to people of all ages that are bothered by "lop" ears. Growth and development of ears end at the age of 4 and then can be surgically corrected. In the Poliklinika Bagatin we usually correct ears in children who are older than 6 years. It is advisable to do surgery on children before they start school. The operation is performed by modeling the ear cartilage and clinging ear lobe near to the head. The procedure takes about 30 minutes to an hour. It can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The incision is hardly visible because it is located in the crease between the ear and the head.
