How is Prominent Ear Surgery Performed?

Prominent ear surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia. Thanks to local anesthesia, the complications of prominent ear surgery are minimized. This process begins with the opening of a very small incision behind the ear. The operation takes an average of 1 hour. The cartilage is reached through the incision opened and the necessary angles are created and corrections are made.  Thus, the ear is fixed in the most correct position. Since the incision is small, it is closed with aesthetic and surgical sutures. Thus, there is no trace in the future at the operation site. In addition, since the aesthetic suture has the ability to dissolve itself, there is no such thing as suturing after the operation.

Considering the situation of the case, cartilage excision can also be performed if necessary. Thus, an ear with a more natural and aesthetic appearance is obtained.

You can also consider the option of rope prominent ear surgery, which is a new method. Although the name of this method is surgical, the operation is performed without any incision.
