In this article, we will give you information about prominent ear surgery. Many congenital or acquired deformities may be encountered in the ear, requiring ear aesthetic surgery. Such as congenital complete or partial absence of ears, extra cartilage protrusions around the ear, the ear being shrunken like a crumpled paper (Consticted ear), pointed ears (Stahl's ear), or partial or complete loss of the ear as a result of an accident. These problems may occur to different degrees in both ears. Or one ear may be prominent and the other ear may be normal. Prominent ear deformity, where the ears are very prominent, is most common in society.
Anatomical Problem with Protruding Ear
Prominent ears appear large because they are very prominent towards the front. However, their sizes are generally normal. 80 and 90% of ear development is completed by the age of 6. In other words, by the age of 6, the ear size is close to the adult ear size. For this reason, it is normal for the ears to appear larger than they actually are in young children with prominent ears who need ear surgery. In prominent ear deformity, the angle between the ear and the head is slightly wider than it should be. This clearly shows the ear outwards. This image becomes much more obvious, especially when viewed from behind. The folds that should be in the upper 2/3 of the ear have not formed and the ear looks as if it has been ironed.
Prominent Ear Operation
It is popularly known as prominent ear and when viewed from the front, the ears are very large. It is a condition that can disturb people of all ages. This problem can occur regardless of whether it is a man or a woman. Ears reach their adult size at age 6. For this reason, it is recommended that prominent ear surgery be performed preferably before primary school, as an exception to other operations. The ear, which usually looks very close the day after this operation, regains its natural appearance within 1 week. In this way, glasses can be used easily and ear visibility is reduced. It is recommended to use a hair band for 3 weeks after the operation. Those with long hair can also create a band-like shape with their hair. There may be some numbness in the ear for 1 or 2 weeks after the surgery. It may continue. For this reason, it is recommended not to use the blow dryer during this period.
