Otoplasty. Ears plastic.

As part of a full -time consultation, a plastic surgeon finds out the patient's goal and answers in detail all questions about otoplasty. He talks about preparation, operation and rehabilitation, also discusses with the patient the region and the degree of ear correction. Before the otoplasty, general tests are prescribed, and if necessary, a cardiogram. Chronic diseases, allergies to drugs, and pregnancy are detected. The doctor may prescribe drugs and vitamins that must be taken before surgery. Two weeks before otoplasty, it is advisable to refuse smoking and alcohol.

Otoplasty in Olympus clinics is carried out only as prescribed by a doctor, in the absence of contraindications to the operation. During otoplasty, local anesthesia or general anesthesia (if necessary) is used. During the operation, the surgeon makes an incision behind the patient’s ear and conducts the necessary manipulations. The cuts are closed with the help of seams that pass without a trace. Otoplasty lasts from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the type of operation.

The rehabilitation period after surgery lasts from 1 to 3 months and consists of several stages of healing. In the first week of rehabilitation, the patient feels discomfort and wears a bandage, but within 10 days the doctor removes the overlayed seams, and edema and bruises gradually pass. General healing occurs after 2-3 weeks and the patient no longer feels discomfort in the ears. Minor pain does not interfere with the patient’s normal life if he complies with the doctor's recommendations. The expected result can be estimated 3 months after the operation (sometimes longer), when the patient comes to a second examination to a plastic surgeon. During rehabilitation, it is necessary to take drugs that the doctor prescribed to speed up the healing process and minimize the risk of repeated surgical intervention.
