What is Otoplasty in Dubai?

Otoplasty is an ear-reshaping surgery that reshapes and modifies the formation and extent of ears for medical and aesthetic objectives. The treatment aims to reset the external portion of the ears to align with the facial symmetry. It can also be done to enhance a person’s natural ability to hear or to treat the natural disability of listening.

Ear Reshaping Cost: 

Otoplasty cost ranges from 13,000 AED to 15,000 AED, depending on a range of factors. A breakdown of ear shaping prices with both local and general anesthesia is presented below:

Types of Otoplasty:

Ear Augmentation:

Some individuals have very small ears, so this technique adjusts implants or grafts for a prominent shape. Cartilage is taken from the patient’s own body.

Ear Pinning:

Ear pinning fixes protruding ears by repositioning them close to the head. The cartilage is folded or reshaped by an incision made behind the ear.

Ear Reduction:

Patients with abnormally large ears or lobules choose this otoplasty technique. The expert extracts extra cartilage and skin through discreet incisions.

Ear Reconstruction:

This plastic surgery for the ears repairs congenital ear deformities. A new ear is constructed by clapping cartilage from the candidate’s rib.

Indications of Otoplasty:

• Prominent ears: Bat ears that protrude from the head.
• Large ears: Disproportionately large ears as compared to other facial features.
• Congenital Deformities: Deformities like microtia (underdeveloped ear) or anotia (absence of the ear).
• Ear Asymmetry: When both ears are uneven in shape or size.
• Ear trauma: Damaged ears due to accidents or sports injuries.
• Post-Surgical Reconstruction: Remodification of new ears after surgeries like cancer removal.

Ideal Candidates:

You are eligible for Otoplasty if you face the following scenarios:

• Naturally enlarged ears or odd shaping.
• Oversized or irregular earlobes.
• Dislocated ear due to an accident.
• The ears are hooked to the skin.
• Suffering from natural disabilities.

Procedure:

Anasthesia:

The surgeon will infuse a few doses of local or general anesthesia into your body. This will numb the region to provide a comfortable experience.

Incisions:

Our best Otoplasty Surgeon will make two incisions on each ear separately. Incisions are made behind the ears, and their exact location depends on the specific procedure.

Cartilage Reshaping:

The surgeon extracts extra cartilage or sometimes folds it to develop a natural contour. The remaining tissues are reshaped accordingly.

Creating Antihelix:

The anthelix is the curved edge of the cartilage. The expert will enhance it to improve the ears’ overall shape.

Closing Incisions:

In the end, the expert will implement dissolvable sutures to seal the incisions. They are closed without any visible scarring.

Dressing:

The last step is to cover the exterior wound completely. A protective bandage is applied to shield the wounds.

Pre-Care Instructions:

• Take a shower 1 night before surgery.
• Do not self-medicate 1 week before surgery
• Skip alcohol and smoking for 3 days.
• Remove all jewelry from your ears.
• Tie your hair tightly.

Post-Care Instructions:

• Keep the dressings in place and clean.
• Do not wet the surface area during the first week.
• Use extra pillows during sleeping.
• Be gentle while blowing your nose.
• Do not sleep on your side.
• Avoid chewing or biting hard food.
• Take prescribed pain-relieving medicines.

Benefits of Ear Reshaping Surgery:

• Creates a harmonious balance between the ears and the face.
• The fastest and most effective way to reshape your ears.
• It balances and evens out the improper structure of your ears.
