What is Ear Aesthetics?

Ear aesthetics is a surgical intervention usually performed to correct the shape, size, position or congenital defects of the ears. This intervention is especially performed to improve the appearance of protruding, large ears or congenitally small, asymmetrical or deformed ears. In this way, the ears have a more symmetrical, natural and aesthetic appearance. In this context, ear aesthetics is preferred not only for aesthetic concerns, but also to increase the self-confidence of the person and to provide psychological comfort. Therefore, it is beneficial to perform ear aesthetic surgery as young as possible.

How is Ear Aesthetics Procedure Performed?

Contrary to popular belief, ear aesthetics is a very easy and fast procedure. For this reason, ear aesthetics are generally performed under local anesthesia and small incisions are made through the natural folds behind the ear or inside the ear during the procedure. As a result of these incisions, first, the ear cartilage is shaped. During the procedure, excess cartilage and skin are removed and the ear is placed in a position compatible with the face. Then, the ear cartilage is shaped with stitches, if necessary, and the ears are pushed backwards to their normal position. However, if there are problems with the size or shape of the ear, cartilage can be added or removed. In this way, problems such as the size or sagging of the ear lobe can also be corrected.

After the procedure, a light bandage is wrapped around the ears and the patient is usually expected to return to normal life within a few days.

Types of Ear Aesthetics

There are 5 different types of ear aesthetics applied. These types of ear aesthetics are determined according to the needs of the person. To take a detailed look at these types of ear aesthetics;

Ear Cartilage Repair

Ear cartilage repair, which is one of the types of ear aesthetics, is a surgical procedure applied to correct deformations that occur in the ear. This procedure aims to correct congenital defects, traumas or infections. In this context, Cartilage repair is performed by replacing lost cartilage tissue with new cartilage tissue or reshaping the existing cartilage. Thus, cracks, fractures or deformations in the ear cartilage are corrected.

Small Ear Aesthetics (Microtia)

Another type of ear aesthetics, small ear aesthetics, is applied to people with congenitally small or developmentally weak ears. In this procedure, the surgeon can use the patient's own tissue or create a new ear structure using synthetic materials. In this way, the ears are shaped in harmony with the face and the self-confidence of the person is increased.

Ear Augmentation Operation

Ear augmentation is a type of ear aesthetics performed to aesthetically correct small ears. In this operation, it is aimed to restore the ears of patients with smaller ears to a more natural and proportional size. In this context, in the ear augmentation operation, additional cartilage tissue is usually added to the ear cartilage or the existing cartilage is shaped. Thus, the surgeon makes the ear structure more prominent and enlarges it.

The cartilage tissue needed for ear augmentation can be taken from the patient's own body (for example, from rib cartilage) to complete the procedure.

Small Ear Head (Auriculoplasty)

Small ear head surgery, also known as auriculoplasty, is a surgical procedure for the aesthetic and functional improvement of small or deformed ears. In the aforementioned procedure, the ears are usually small, misshapen or unsymmetrical due to developmental disorders. In this case, the ears are reshaped with interventions on the ear head. Thanks to the procedure, a harmonious appearance with facial features can be achieved by making the ears proportionate.

This procedure is usually performed on young children. However, it can also be performed on adults.

Tuberous Ear Aesthetics

The last type of ear aesthetics, lump ear aesthetics, i is a surgical procedure performed to correct rounded or prominent areas on the upper part of the ears. Such deformations may occur as a result of overdevelopment of the cartilage tissue in the upper part of the ears and may disfigure the ears. At this point, thanks to the lump ear aesthetics, the excess tissue in the ear cartilage is removed, the ear is reshaped and the ears are shaped more properly. The procedure is generally performed over the natural folds behind the ear and therefore there is no scarring. After the procedure, the ears have a natural, symmetrical and aesthetic appearance, helping to increase the patient's self-confidence.

Ear Aesthetic Techniques

There are 4 different ear aesthetic techniques applied. These techniques are very effective techniques and are applied according to the needs of the patient. The ear aesthetic techniques applied in this context are as follows;

Classical Otoplasty Technique

The classical otoplasty technique is one of the most commonly used methods in ear aesthetic surgeries. In this technique, conditions such as protruding or oversized ears are corrected. The surgery usually starts with an incision behind the ear. Afterwards, excess skin and cartilage tissue is removed through this incision and the ear cartilage is reshaped. Thus, with the otoplasty technique, the ears are made more symmetrical and a complete symmetry is created by preventing the ears from coming forward. Scars may occur after the procedure. Because the incision is hidden behind the ear.

Cartilage Stitch Technique

The cartilage suture technique, another ear aesthetic technique, is another common technique used to shape the ear cartilage. In this technique, stitches are placed directly on the ear cartilage and the ear shape is created in the desired form. Thus, with the cartilage suturing technique, the ear contours are corrected without cutting the ear cartilage, only by suturing. It is also a suitable technique for correcting small deformations of the ear cartilage or shaping the tips of the ears. Within the scope of this technique, the stitches applied to the ear cartilage give a more aesthetic appearance without disturbing the natural shape of the ears.

Cartilage Graft Technique

The cartilage graft technique is used in ear aesthetic surgeries to reconstruct or support the ear structure. In this technique, cartilage tissue taken from the patient's body (usually from the rib cartilage) is added to the ear structure. This added cartilage tissue makes the ears more prominent and helps the ears to reach their normal size. This method is generally preferred to reconstruct the size and shape of the ears in cases such as microtia (congenital small ears). In this way, the cartilage grafting technique provides more support and shape to the ear structure.

Endoscopic Otoplasty Technique

Endoscopic otoplasty is preferred as a minimally invasive method for ear plastic surgery. In this technique, the surgeon performs ear shaping using endoscopic cameras. In this way, it allows the procedure to be performed with more precision and small incisions. Within the scope of the procedure, changes in the ear cartilage are made with cameras through small incisions made behind the ear. This method leaves less scarring compared to the classical otoplasty technique and accelerates the healing process. Thus, it provides a natural, aesthetic appearance of the ears with precise shape changes.
