Protruding ears are a source of distress for many people. Even in childhood, they are often subjected to teasing and ridicule. These experiences become ingrained in our memory and influence our future and development.
Therefore, nowadays, the correction of protruding ears is usually carried out before starting school, in order to protect children from bad experiences.
However, even adults who suffer from ear problems their entire lives can be successfully treated.
The cause of protruding ears can be a congenital deformation of the ear cartilage or an uneven development of the cartilage during growth.
Before the operation
You should not take aspirin for about a week before the operation. (Aspirin and other painkillers delay blood clotting, increasing the risk of bruising.)
Smokers should begin reducing their nicotine consumption as much as possible four weeks before surgery to avoid wound healing problems.
Procedure of the operation
Ear correction is usually performed under local anesthesia (but also under general anesthesia if desired) and you or your child can leave the doctor’s office after the procedure.
There are numerous different techniques for pinning back ears. The basic principle lies either in the removal of excess cartilage or in reshaping the flattened edge of the ear.
First, an incision is made in the skin crease behind the ear, and the skin and cartilage are carefully separated. Once the cartilage is exposed, it can be reshaped using special instruments.
The cartilage is sometimes partially removed, ground down, or scored. The new shape is then stabilized with sutures, and the wound edges are stitched together.
After the operation
Then a special bandage (headband, ideally with Velcro fastener) must be worn day and night for 2 weeks, followed by another 2 weeks at night.
Since the sutures are self-dissolving, they do not need to be removed. The scars behind the ears fade after some time, and the final result is visible after approximately two to three months.
Your benefits
Ear correction can spare children a great deal of suffering, as they will never have to endure the ridicule and teasing that often occurs among children.
For adults who have suffered for years or even decades from their protruding ears, the operation will help them achieve a new outlook on life and greater self-confidence.
