Ears Surgery (Otoplasty)

Local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia are used, having been previously agreed upon between anesthesiologist and patient. General anesthesia is recommended for small children. Otoplasty incision is made behind the ear (disguised by the natural retro auricular fold). Excess auricular cartilage is then removed, or sutures applied to achieve a more natural shape.

A tight sport headband should be worn to cover ears throughout the day every day, for the first week after surgery.  During the following three weeks, the headband should only be worn at nights or when the patient is at home.
