Correction of protruding ears
The correction of ear position is performed on patients whose ear cartilage is formed due to genetic reasons in such a way that the ear is more perpendicular to the head and thus it looks striking due to its prominence. It can be a defect of one or both ears.
The operation is performed in local anaesthesia and without hospitalisation, i.e. in the outpatients department. The correction of one ear lasts 20-30 minutes, correction of both ears about an hour. Within the scope of pre-operative interview, the doctor will explain to the patient the issues of the operation, location and shape of scars, possible risks and complications and course of the post-operative period.
The internal pre-operative examination is performed on the patients who suffer from more serious diseases requiring permanent medication or special measures during the operation. One week before the operation you will stop using drugs such as Acylpyrin, Aspro, Aspyrin and Mironal, which contain acetylsalicylic acid causing bleeding.
You will come to the hospital at the agreed time, do not take any jewels, valuables and bigger sums of money, apart from the money to pay for the operation.
Arrange a lift home after the operation is completed. At home prepare painkillers, such as Brufen, Ibalgin, Paralen etc.
Postoperative instructions, convalescence:
After the operation the patient will obtain a special bandage for ears which will stay on for 10 days, then it is replaced with a new bandage, special shaping stitches are removed and the patient will be recommended to wear a headband for two more weeks to protect the ears against injury 24 hours a day and two more weeks only at night. It is possible to wash hair after the bandage is replaced fro the first time.
