UNDERSTANDING EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY)

Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a specialized surgical procedure
designed to correct large, protruding, or deformed ears to create a
more proportionate facial appearance. This procedure is most commonly
performed on children, typically between the ages of 4 and 18, as the
ears are usually fully developed by age four.

KEY BENEFITS OF EAR SURGERY

 	* Corrects protruding or misshapen ears
	* Reduces potential psychological impact of ear abnormalities
	* Can repair ears damaged by accident or injury
	* Improves overall facial symmetry and proportion

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

Patients are considered ideal candidates for ear surgery when they
meet the following criteria:

 	* Ages 5 years and older
	* Generally healthy individuals
	* Non-smokers
	* Experiencing self-consciousness about ear appearance
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

THE EAR SURGERY PROCEDURE

Ear surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, lasting
approximately 2-3 hours. During the surgery, Dr. Nagy makes an
incision behind the ear to reshape the cartilage, adjusting the size
and position for a more natural appearance. The procedure may involve
general anesthesia, particularly for younger patients.

SURGICAL APPROACH

 	* Incision made behind the ear
	* Cartilage removal or reshaping
	* Adjustment of ear position
	* Symmetrical correction of both ears
	* Closure with surgical sutures

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Following ear surgery, patients will have their ears covered with a
protective dressing. Recovery typically requires 5-7 days of rest,
with specific instructions to avoid pressure on the ears and maintain
a comfortable healing environment.

CONSULTATION PROCESS

During the initial consultation, Dr. Nagy will thoroughly evaluate the
patient's ear structure, discuss medical history, and explain the
precise surgical techniques. The consultation helps establish
realistic expectations and determine the most appropriate surgical
approach.
