Otoplasty is one of the favorite surgeries among the students. Especially, these days more and more men are undergoing correction of prominent ears surgery. This surgery is becoming even more popular among male customers rather than females. Why is that?

Well, the main reason is that women can cover their ears with their hair, whereas men cannot because of the short length of hair. Since they cannot cover them, the protruding ears stick out and become more visible.

Before we go through how to correct the prominent ears, let us first understand what the prominent ears are and their causes. First of all, the prominent ear is a condition in which ears stick out from the sides of the head.

This is mainly because the cartilage of ears is not folded but evenly spread. The condition of prominent ears does not cause any physical or health-related problems for the people, however, some people may feel psychological discomfort by thinking that prominent ears negatively affect their outlook.

To correct prominent ears, a surgery known as “Otoplasty” is performed. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ears, collects the cartilage, and makes it closer. Then he makes a curve which enables ears to bend back and look smaller.

The treatment period after otoplasty is around 7 ~10 days every other day and on the last treatment, day stitches will be removed. You will be instructed to stick the beige-colored tape onto the operation site.

Moreover, you should be very careful when you wear sunglasses and hats in order not to put pressure on your ears. You must not rub, touch, or pull ears after the surgery and stick the tape before going to sleep.

Besides, it is important to sleep on your back as much as possible. We also strongly recommend that you follow all the post-surgery instructions because it will guarantee a satisfactory surgery result.
