Ear Surgery in Cape Town - Ear reconstruction South Africa
 

 

Plastic surgery of the ear is commonly performed to correct the position of the ears that protrude significantly from the sides of the head. Such protrusion makes the ears appear larger than normal. Each case of ear surgery is highly individual, due to the delicate anatomy of the ear. Through analysis of ear axis and positioning on the head, ear size and angle of protrusion, Dr. Lovric, based in Cape Town will tailor an ear surgery technique to precisely correct the exact features that are disproportionate or deformed.

The outcome to correct protruding ears is present almost immediately, but it does take time to settle fully, so some patience is required.

The size, shape, and position of the normal ear is most often a familial characteristic. This can be observed by comparing parents, grandparents, and siblings of any patient under examination. Deformities of the ear are also of similar nature, including those which show variations of cartilage contour and the protruding ear, particularly when both sides are involved.

The child with protruding ears is often subjected to unkind remarks that can be a source of significant distress. Feelings of self-consciousness, rejection, and hostility are underlying reactions to lack of peer acceptance. While adults generally do not express such attitudes openly, the grown individual frequently maintains the same sensitivities that were present during childhood.


Surgical correction can be performed quite effectively as early as the fourth, fifth, or sixth year. By that time, the ear itself has already reached almost adult size so that there will be little if any subsequent change. The operation is performed by repositioning or otherwise altering the flexible cartilage structures. There are several variations of deformity, each of which must be treated in a different manner. Basically, the surgical objectives are to reduce the protrusion and at the same time to provide a soft natural curve of the anti-helical fold when the ear is viewed from the side .Surgical incisions are ordinarily placed behind the ear where any remaining surface scars will not be visible. Sutures are absorbable and do not require removal.

 

Application of a head dressing is necessary so that both ears can be protected, swelling minimized, and discomfort limited. The head dressing will also permit the patient to turn from side to side when asleep without painful pressure. In this case, the surgical head dressing is worn or approximately five days after which time the remaining swelling will gradually disappear. After five days the patient is requested to wear a bandage at night only for a period of three weeks. Some variations in management should be anticipated, depending largely upon the specific correction under consideration. The hazards or risks in this procedure are few. Probably the most common is residual irregularity in the cartilage when the ear is viewed from either frontal or lateral planes. It should be noted, however, that both ears are never exactly alike, even in the normal state, and that perfect symmetry is therefore not a reasonable expectation. The purpose of the head dressing and careful padding is to avoid fluid collection and therefore it should not be disturbed. Minor adjustments in earlobes may also be desirable afterwards. Finally, the operation has no adverse effects upon the hearing mechanism, which involves the inner ear structures.

 

The otoplasty operation is generally most successful and can truly provide satisfaction with improved personal confidence and self-esteem.
