Otoplasty (ear correction)

Otoplasty is a plastic surgery aimed at correcting the shape, size or position of the auricles. The procedure helps to eliminate protruding ears, congenital or post-traumatic deformities, and also improve the symmetry of the ears.

When is otoplasty required?

• In case of congenital protruding ears, which causes psychological discomfort.
• If the ears have an asymmetrical shape or position.
• In case of ear deformation due to injuries or previous operations.
• If a reduction in the size of the auricles is required.
• If you want to correct the aesthetic features of your ears.

How does the operation go?

1. Consultation with a surgeon – an examination is carried out and a correction method is selected.
2. Anesthesia – local or general anesthesia is used.
3. Ear shape correction – the surgeon makes incisions behind the auricle and models the cartilage.
4. Tissue fixation and suturing – the ears are fixed in a new position.
5. Rehabilitation – the patient wears a compression bandage to ensure proper healing.

Types of otoplasty

• Classic otoplasty is the correction of the shape of the ears through incisions behind the auricle.
• Laser otoplasty is a less traumatic method that accelerates healing.
• Minimally invasive otoplasty – shape correction without incisions, using sutures.
• Reconstructive otoplasty is the restoration of the auricle after injuries or congenital defects.

Advantages of otoplasty in Belarus

• Aesthetically harmonious result and correction of asymmetry.
• Minimal incisions and fast recovery period.
• Long-lasting effect without repeated operations.
• Improving self-esteem and self-confidence.

Recovery after otoplasty

• Wearing a compression bandage for 1-2 weeks.
• Limit physical activity and avoid injury to the ears.
• Follow-up with a surgeon to monitor the healing process.
• Compliance with the rules for seam care.

The operation is performed in modern plastic clinics, where modern surgical techniques are used, ensuring a natural result, safety and rapid recovery.
