prevent potential social challenges and emotional distress associated
with ear abnormalities.

KEY REASONS FOR EAR SURGERY

 	* Correcting protruding ears
	* Addressing ear asymmetry
	* Resolving congenital ear shape irregularities
	* Improving patient self-confidence

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The otoplasty procedure is performed in an outpatient setting under

making an incision behind the ear, strategically weakening and
reshaping the ear cartilage to create proper curvatures.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

 	* Incision made behind the ear
	* Cartilage carefully molded
	* Ear repositioned and secured with sutures
	* Protective head dressing applied

RECOVERY AND POST-OPERATIVE CARE

After surgery, patients receive a protective head dressing removed

In rare instances, a minor touch-up or scar adjustment might be
necessary 6-12 months post-procedure. Hydrocortisone injections can
help manage and soften surgical scars if required.

correction. Both children and adults experience significant emotional
relief and improved self-esteem after addressing ear deformities.
