Title: The surgical procedure of Otoplasty for correcting deformities of the
external ear
Sound and the beauty of sound known as ‘music’ are not just a simple term in English
vocabulary but also a feeling. A feeling of the music will give you the feeling of life, a feeling
of joy that you can enjoy till eternity.
Ears will help you observe, feel, and listen to what is happening around you and your
surroundings. A defect in your ears will snatch away all the sound of life from you. But,
nowadays, many ear surgeries have been introduced by the medical experts that can help
you in getting back your listening power.
Otoplasty is a medical procedure that will come under the surgical and non-surgical
procedures. Otoplasty aims to correct the defects and deformities of the part of the external
ear pinna. It is also known as reconstructive surgery. According to a medical report on
otoplasty in the United States, in 2018, surgeons carried out 25000 surgeries of otoplasty,
and all of them were successful.
The recovery process will take some time to get things normalized. The dressing which will
be applied by the doctor may be problematic for the patient, but it will be removed after
some days. The patient may notice soreness for a few days, but it will automatically be
cured after some days.
After the surgery, before you continue with your regular activities and daily routine, do not
travel just after the surgery. Take rest for around one month and then get back to work.
Advantages of otoplasty
Correction of prominent ears- in most of the people, the outer part of the ear is
positioned properly at an angle of about 25 degrees. If in case, this angle exceeds 35
degrees, then the ears stick out, giving out a bad impact on the facial appearance of
the person and leads to hearing problems as well. This surgery will help in
positioning the ears and improve facial appearance.
Permanent results- the surgery will get over in 2-3 hours, and the results of the
surgery are permanent. Once the post-surgery bandages are removed, the person
can get the results of the treatment.
Safe treatment- the treatment of otoplasty has even cured small children safe and
has even corrected all the damaged and irregularly shaped ears. And, the risks
associated with this surgery are minimal. So, people who are planning to undergo
with this surgery can be carefree and do not panic regarding the after-effects of the
surgery.
You may have changes in the sensation of your skin. Scars due to the surgery can
take time but they go or get dull.
Stitches are not that problematic. Asymmetrical placement of the ear can take place
during the healing process.
It can take time in the process of reshaping your ears.
Basic care of your ears after the surgery
The surgery of otoplasty will help correct the deformity of your ears. But, unless and until
you recover, you have to take good care of your ears. Try to avoid all the rigorous activities
until your ears are fully recovered from the surgery. Try to keep your head elevated. After
the treatment, try not to wash your hair with shampoo as the shampoo's chemical can enter
the ears, which is very risky.
Certain medications are provided by the doctor after the surgery, which helps to alleviate
the post-surgical pain. So, make sure to follow the medications properly.
