Otoplasty Dubai Al Barsha

Introduction

Ears are a prominent feature of our appearance and beauty as they are set so close to the face and get their fair share of attention. However, not everyone has neatly shaped and proportionate ears. Some people have abnormal ear structure, large ears that stick out far from their head, or uneven, disproportionate, large, misshapen ears. The cause usually is a birth deformity, but an injury to the ears may also cause it. Due to such reasons, people feel very conscious about their appearance, lose confidence, and struggle with self-esteem issues. Otoplasty Dubai or Ear Surgery is the perfect solution if you are struggling with ear-appearance related issues.

How Otoplasty Treatment Is Performed?

Otoplasty in Al Barsha Dubai is an outpatient procedure and usually takes about 1-2 hours to perform under local anesthesia
The surgery is performed to increase the antihelical fold inside the rim of the ear or to reduce enlarged conchal cartilage, the deepest concavity of the external ear.
Depending on the technique chosen by the plastic surgeon, the incision will be made either at the back of the ears or within the inner creases of the ears.
Once the incision is made, excess cartilage and skin are removed and the remaining cartilage is folded to its proper position and secured with sutures.

What Are The Risks Associated With Otoplasty?

All these risks are very uncommon and will not occur in one patient. Dr. Abizer takes utmost care to avoid the occurrence of any risks and complications during the surgery.

How Is Recovery After Otoplasty?

To speed up the healing process, ears will be covered in bandages. Mild swelling, discomfort, and pain might be experienced by the patients. This is temporary and diminishes in the coming days. Medications will be prescribed for pain if required.
Some stitches dissolve on their own but if you have stitches that need to be taken out, then the doctor will do so in about a week after the surgery.
One can resume his/her normal schedule after a week. You might be prescribed to use protective gear. Other such instructions and specific suggestions will be given by Dr. Abizer to speed up the recovery process.
