Cosmetic ear surgery

Short and painless procedure

Plastic Surgery in the TyrolProtruding ears are a serious psychological problem for the patient.

In the first years of school, children have to find their place among their peers and assert themselves within the group. If they are constantly teased and ridiculed because of their ears, they will not develop the necessary self-confidence. Children with a low self-esteem are easily discouraged and tend to become very subdued.

Plastic Surgery in the TyrolShort and painless procedure

The pin-back otoplasty is a minor surgical procedure. It can be performed on children aged eight and above under local anaesthetic without any problems. The procedure takes under an hour. A strip of skin is removed from behind the ear, the ear repositioned with the help of sutures and the wound closed. In most cases the ears seem to protrude because the auricle is misshapen. This aspect is also corrected during the otoplasty so that the ear regains its natural beauty. In most cases both ears are involved, and they are both treated in one operation.

Thanks to the local anaesthetic, the procedure is pain-free. Any pain from the healing wound in the first few days after the operation can easily be dealt with. The dressing is removed after three or four days. After that the patient need only wear a headband for a few more days. Children who want the procedure themselves because their protruding ears are a cause of suffering are highly motivated patients. In many cases the otoplasty is available on the National Health. When the teasing stops, the children’s self-esteem increases and they can then concentrate better in the classroom situation.
