Prominent Ear Surgery
Structurally, the ears may be too angled and prominent, which can lead to psychological problems, especially in children, as they may be ridiculed at school.
The most appropriate age for surgery for this problem is 6-7 years old, when the ears have largely completed their growth. Since the surgery is performed during the preschool period, the child will not experience the stress of being ridiculed by his/her friends at school. However, this surgery can be performed at any age after the age of 6-7.
Before the surgery, a detailed interview and examination is made. If the surgery will be performed under complete anesthesia, blood tests, heart electrocardiography and lung x-ray are taken, and the approval of the anesthesiologist is obtained.
The surgery is performed in a full-fledged hospital with general anesthesia (full sleep) or, in adult patients, it can also be performed with regional anesthesia.

The surgery takes approximately 1-2 hours. During the surgery, an incision is made behind the ear, the cartilage is shaped and the protrusion is corrected.
If complete anesthesia is performed, the patient is given a meal 4-6 hours after the surgery, after eating, he/she can walk and is hospitalized for a day and discharged. Patients who receive regional anesthesia can eat and drink after surgery and are discharged a few hours after surgery.
After the surgery, a special bandage is applied to the patient's ears for 2-4 weeks.
Since the incision is made behind the ear, no scars are visible.
