Otoplasty (Prominent Ear Surgery)
In Tekirdağ, otoplasty (prominent ear surgery) is a procedure in which ears that protrude excessively from the head are surgically reshaped. You can explore informative content from Op. Dr. Koray Kırbıyık about its application in children and adults.
WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?
Prominent ears are an important condition that affects individuals aesthetically and psychologically, especially during childhood and adolescence. This condition is defined as the ears standing at a wider angle than normal relative to the head. It can occur in both women and men and may lead to a lack of self-confidence. Our Tekirdağ ENT physician, Op. Dr. Koray Kırbıyık, meticulously performs otoplasty operations that achieve aesthetically and functionally successful results to eliminate the problem of prominent ears.
Otoplasty, that is, prominent ear aesthetics, allows the ears to attain a more natural and symmetrical appearance. The surgery is generally performed through a small incision made behind the ear, and the ear cartilage is reshaped and brought into the ideal position. Op. Dr. Koray Kırbıyık performs these operations safely and effectively for both pediatric patients and adults. This procedure, which can be applied to children especially from the age of 5-6, prevents the negative effects on social life when performed at an early age.
Patients seeking expert support for prominent ear operations in Tekirdağ are informed through a detailed examination before the operation. Op. Dr. Koray Kırbıyık evaluates each patient's ear structure, age, and aesthetic expectations to create a personalized surgical plan. The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia and usually takes 1-1.5 hours. It is possible to be discharged the same day.
The recovery process after surgery is quite comfortable. For the first few days, the ears are protected with a dressing, and afterward they are supported with a special band. Normal daily life can usually be resumed within 1 week. The likelihood of a scar remaining on the ear is very low, because the incision scar stays behind the ear and becomes indistinct over time.
In addition to the aesthetic gains, otoplasty surgery increases the individual's self-confidence and helps them feel more comfortable in social life. Op. Dr. Koray Kırbıyık provides close follow-up and information at all stages so that his patients can go through this process as comfortably as possible. He also places great importance on the psychological preparation process in pediatric patients, aiming for the surgery to be free of trauma.
