OtoplastyEar surgery, also known as ear correction surgery or otoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure that aims to change the shape or position of the ears. It is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures performed on both children and adults. Ear surgery can significantly improve a person's appearance and self-confidence, especially if the ears are prominently protruding or have an unusual shape.
Reasons for ear cosmetic surgery
Ear correction surgery is decided for several reasons. One of the main reasons is ears that stick out from the head, which can cause a person to feel insecure. In children, this is often the cause of bullying at school, which is why the child and their parents want to correct their ears before going to school. In this way, otoplasty also has an important place in terms of mental health. Other reasons may be:
- Abnormal shape or size of the ear;
- asymmetry of the earlobes;
- Deformities resulting from injuries.
There are several different techniques for performing otoplasty. Most often, the cartilage is weakened in certain places during the operation and permanent threads are placed on the cartilage, which maintain the desired shape of the earlobe. There are also techniques in which permanent threads are not placed on the cartilage of the earlobe, but the result may vary slightly more in these cases. The surgeon will find the solution that is exactly right for you during a consultation with you.
Ear plastic surgery is usually a day surgery procedure that can be performed under either local or general anesthesia. The surgery usually takes 1-2 hours and the patient can usually go home the same day. Depending on the technique chosen, the length of the healing period may vary. Initial recovery takes a few weeks. In some cases, it may be necessary to wear a headband for 4 weeks after surgery.
Ear plastic surgery price
The price of ear correction surgery can vary depending on several factors – mostly the complexity and scope of the operation. The price of aesthetic ear surgery and the price of ear correction are in the same range in Tartu, Tallinn and elsewhere in Estonia. In Estonia, the price of ear plastic surgery can range from 1,500 to 3,000 euros, but the exact price depends on the specific case and the chosen surgeon.
It is important to remember that a cheaper price does not always mean the best quality. When it comes to ear cosmetic surgery, it is important to choose an experienced and trustworthy surgeon, even if it means a slightly higher price.
Before deciding to have surgery, it is recommended to consult with your surgeon to get a thorough overview of the procedure, potential risks, and expected results. It is also important to discuss the details of the price, including what is included and what additional costs may be involved.
