Prominent ear aesthetics is a surgical operation performed within the scope of aesthetic plastic surgery and is called otoplasty in the medical literature. The appearance of our ears, which is one of the structures on our face, is the most important complement of facial aesthetics. The beauty of appearance in terms of the face is the harmonious ratio of the organs in the face. The harmony between the organs is proportionally in harmony with each other and aesthetic harmony is achieved. The aim of us plastic surgeons is to enable you to achieve beauty. Operations that are pleasing to the eye and bring joy to life are the basic concept of aesthetics.
The primary duty of us surgeons in aesthetic surgeries is correct planning. The main purpose is to be able to see and evaluate the situations that disrupt the aesthetic harmony in the human body and to harmonize them with other parts. While doing this, it is necessary not to spoil the natural appearance. Prominent ear aesthetics (Otoplasty) is generally applied to bring prominent ears closer to the head, to shape their missing folds or to reduce large ears, and as a result, a normal integrity is obtained in terms of appearance.
The question of what causes prominent ear can be explained by the fact that the most common deformity in the ear is prominent ear deformity. This deformity in the ear is seen as the anterior angulation of the ears compared to the anatomical position considered normal. Insufficient development or flatness of the fold in the auricle is usually the main reason. Ear development is completed at a rate of 80% by the age of 6 years.
Performing prominent ear aesthetics at these ages can prevent the negative effects that may occur in the mental state of the child. People with prominent ears or ear sizes are affected by the negative effects of the people around them from a very young age and they tend to hide their ears. For this reason, prominent ear aesthetic surgery is recommended to be performed in pre-school age in terms of the psychological health of the child. But it can be done at any age. While general anesthesia is required in younger patients, local anesthesia is preferred in adults.
