Otoplasty in Turkey

Generally, good candidates for otoplasty are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the procedure, and are bothered by the appearance or positioning of their ears. Schedule a consultation with a qualified surgeon for a personalized assessment.

The consultation involves discussing your goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. The surgeon will examine your ears, explain the procedure details, including potential risks and benefits, the recovery process, and what results you can expect.

The length of an otoplasty procedure can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the specific technique used. It typically ranges from 1 to 3 hours.

Otoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the surgery.

You may experience some discomfort and swelling after otoplasty. Your surgeon will prescribe medication to manage any pain effectively.

The recovery timeline varies, but most swelling and bruising subside within a few weeks. You may need to wear a headband for support during the initial healing phase. The final results become fully visible as your ears continue to heal over several months.

As with any surgery, otoplasty carries some inherent risks. These may include infection, bleeding, scarring, and temporary numbness. Choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon significantly minimizes these risks.

Your surgeon will provide specific pre-operative instructions, which may include avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and managing any existing medical conditions.

Otoplasty can provide long-lasting improvements in the appearance and confidence of individuals with prominent or misshapen ears. It can boost self-esteem and enhance facial harmony.
