length of hospitalization is of two days.
The intervention takes place in several stages
:
The incision is made in the natural fold of the ear, the groove at the back of the ear
(or retroauricular groove).
The cartilage is exposed by peeling off the skin and then the
surgeon proceeds to reshape it. He recreates or improves natural relief. If necessary, a
reduction in the size of the ear can be performed.
The retro-auricular angle is adjusted
using deep points. The ear is thus placed closer to the skull and the aspect of detachment
is corrected.

face.
Elastic bands are placed around the head in order to protect and maintain the ears
in the right position.

- Improves self-confidence : For individuals who feel self-conscious or insecure about the appearance of their ears, otoplasty can significantly improve self-esteem and confidence, leading to a more positive body image.
- Enhances facial harmony : By reshaping and repositioning the ears, otoplasty can contribute to overall facial harmony and balance, creating a more aesthetically pleasing facial profile.
- Corrects asymmetry : Otoplasty can also address asymmetrical ears, ensuring that they are more symmetrical and evenly positioned relative to each other and to the rest of the face.
- Minimally invasive : Depending on the specific techniques and the extent of correction needed, otoplasty can often be performed using minimally invasive techniques, resulting in less scarring and a shorter recovery period compared to more invasive surgical procedures.
- Permanent results : In most cases, the results of otoplasty are permanent, providing long-lasting improvements in the appearance of the ears without the need for ongoing maintenance or touch-up procedures.
- Customizable : Otoplasty can be customized to address each patient's unique concerns and goals, allowing for personalized treatment plans tailored to individual preferences and anatomical characteristics.
- Safe and effective : When performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, otoplasty is a safe and effective procedure with a high satisfaction rate among patients.

What activities should be avoided after an otoplasty ?
After undergoing otoplasty (ear surgery), it is essential to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of complications. While specific guidelines may vary depending on individual circumstances and the extent of the surgery, here are some common activities that should be avoided during the initial recovery period :
- Strenuous activities : Avoid engaging in strenuous physical activities, heavy lifting, or vigorous exercise for at least the first few weeks following surgery. These activities can increase blood pressure and strain the surgical area, potentially leading to complications or delaying the healing process.
- Touching or manipulating the ears : Refrain from touching, rubbing, or manipulating the ears, as this can disrupt the healing process and increase the risk of infection or injury to the surgical site.
- Sleeping position : Sleep with your head elevated and avoid sleeping on your side or directly on your ears to prevent pressure on the surgical area and minimize swelling.
- Wearing headphones or headsets : Avoid wearing headphones or headsets that put pressure on the ears for at least several weeks after surgery, as this can interfere with the healing process and cause discomfort.
- Hair care : Be gentle when washing or styling your hair to avoid pulling on the ears or putting pressure on the surgical site. Your surgeon may provide specific instructions for hair care during the recovery period.
- Exposure to sunlight : Protect your ears from direct sunlight and UV exposure by wearing a wide-brimmed hat or applying sunscreen with adequate sun protection factor (SPF). Sun exposure can increase the risk of swelling, discomfort, and complications.
- Swimming and submerging in water : Avoid swimming or submerging your ears in water, including pools, hot tubs, and baths, until your surgeon clears you to do so. Submersion in water can increase the risk of infection and compromise the healing process.
- Smoking and alcohol : Refrain from smoking and excessive alcohol consumption during the recovery period, as they can impair healing and increase the risk of complications.
It is crucial to adhere to your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and monitor your progress.
