What is otoplasty in Dubai?

How do you feel about your ears? Do you think they are too big, too small or too unattractive? Even a beautiful face can be negatively affected by the presence of visibly imperfect ears. Perfect ears are neither too big nor too small. Unfortunately, some of us are born with abnormal-looking ears that spoil our appearance. Otoplasty in Dubai will help you achieve the results you want.

Otoplasty in Dubai, also known as ear surgery or auriculoplasty, can dramatically improve the shape, proportion and location of the ear. It can correct birth defects in the structure of the ear that become evident with age and help you achieve the desired shape of your ears. It is also a corrective surgery for defects caused by trauma. See the ear surgery cost page for the exact cost of treatment.

Are you a candidate?

Otoplasty in Dubai may be a perfect option for you if:

• You are unhappy with the appearance of your ears.
• Your ears stick out too far from your head.
• Your ears are either too large or too small.
• Your ears are disproportionate to your head or are not positioned correctly.
• An injury has affected the shape of your ears.
• You are in good general health.
• You have realistic expectations of the results of the operation.

Objectives of ear surgery

The aim of ear surgery in Dubai is to fix the shape and position of the ears for a harmonious appearance. It brings the following improvements;

• Reduces the size of ears that are too large.
• Increase the size of small ears.
• Improves the position of protruding ears.
• Improves the symmetry of the ears.

Pre-operative preparation

During your preoperative visit for otoplasty, our plastic surgeon will physically examine you to ensure that you are a candidate for the procedure. He or she will take a detailed medical history and give you full pre-operative instructions. Here are some of the most common instructions:

• Stop taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and certain herbal supplements that may increase the risk of bleeding.
• Stay hydrated.
• Make any necessary changes to your current medication as recommended by your doctor.
• Make any necessary changes to your diet.

How is ear surgery performed?

The final otoplasty procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and takes approximately 1 to 2 hours. Highly personalised surgery can also take 2 to 3 hours. Here is a step-by-step description of the surgery.

• Anaesthesia is administered. A general or local anaesthetic may be used.
• The surgeon will then make incisions in different places depending on the changes required. For example;
  • Hidden in the folds of the ear
  • Behind the ears – for protruding ears
• The necessary modifications are then made. These include reducing the size of the ears by cutting away some of the cartilage, increasing the size by adding a cartilage graft or repositioning the ears.
• Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures.

Advantages of ear surgery

Otoplasty in Dubai has many advantages, both psychological and aesthetic. It is less surgical than eyelid surgery. Here are some of the most common benefits:

• It dramatically improves your aesthetic appearance by improving the shape, size and position of your ears.
• It is a safe procedure and the associated side effects are minimal.
• The procedure is suitable for correcting a wide variety of small imperfections.
• It is also suitable for children.
• It requires minimal downtime and leaves little scarring.
• It dramatically improves the quality of your life by boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
• It produces natural-looking results.

Recovery from ear surgery

Recovery from otoplasty differs from person to person, but you can expect your recovery period to be as follows:

• You may need to stay at home for at least a week after the operation.
• The surgeon will bandage your head before sending you home. You will also be given instructions on how to handle the bandage to ensure a good recovery.
• You will need to wear the bandage for at least three days.
• If your stitches need to be removed, your surgeon will do this a week after the operation.
• Some scarring is to be expected, but this will probably fade over time.
• Although the recovery period is unique for each patient, you can expect to return to work and start light activities one week after the operation.
• Final results will be visible approximately two weeks after surgery.

Post-operative care

Below are some common instructions that almost all patients should follow.

• Take your prescribed medication regularly.
• Use ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
• During the first week of recovery, rest frequently but start light walking as soon as possible to maintain blood circulation.
• Avoid strenuous activity and exercise for a few weeks.
• Keep your head elevated when resting or sleeping.
• Do not rest your head on the treated ear.

Before and after results

Ear reshaping surgery offers natural-looking results that are permanent. You get proportional ears with a better balance between the ears and the face. No guarantee is given as results may vary from person to person.
