Otoplasty

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, can improve the shape, position or proportions of the ear. A defect in the structure of the ear that is present at birth or that manifests itself through development can be corrected. This procedure can also treat deformed ears caused by injury. The incision is made on the back of the ear; after the skin is released, the cartilage is modeled and finally, the sutures are drawn closer to the auricle to the head. The degree of swelling becomes socially acceptable 1 week later.
