Otoplasty is a surgical procedure to improve the aesthetic appearance of the ears. Whether to correct prominent ears or improve previous results, this intervention has a significant impact on the patient's self-esteem, promoting a rapid improvement in quality of life.
Otoplasty is especially recommended to correct prominent or protruding ears, repositioning them in a harmonious way to the face. This procedure can improve the self-esteem of people of all ages, including children.
In cases of retroauricular keloids, otoplasty can be performed to resect these benign fibrous tumors, promoting more adequate healing and resulting in a more harmonious appearance of the ears.
Enhance earlobes, correcting excess skin and providing a more youthful appearance to the face. Additionally, removing unsightly lumps such as sebaceous cysts and lipomas can significantly improve the appearance of the ears.
In cases of macrotia, a rare congenital deformity that causes ears that are excessively large in relation to the face, otoplasty can correct both the length and width of the ears.

A otoplastia é realizada com uma incisão atrás da orelha para acessar o tecido cartilaginoso. O manuseio pode remodelar a cartilagem, reposicionar a orelha e, em alguns casos, remover o excesso de cartilagem e/ou pele para alcançar o resultado desejado.
Before otoplasty, your plastic surgeon will likely order a complete medical evaluation and blood tests to ensure you are healthy enough for surgery.
Your doctor will also need to know about the medications you use, whether daily or not, including vitamins and hormones, as some of these must be stopped before surgery.
Recovery can vary from person to person, but it usually takes a few weeks to fully recover. However, most people can return to normal activities after about one to two weeks.
During surgery, you will be under anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain. After surgery, it is common to experience some discomfort and sensitivity in the ears, but this can be managed with medications prescribed by your doctor.
Initial results may be visible immediately after removing the earplugs, but the final shape of the ears may take a few weeks or even months to fully stabilize.
During recovery from otoplasty, you should avoid intense physical activity, high-impact exercise, heavy lifting, and other activities that can put pressure or stress on your ears. It is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and a good result
