Correction of Prominent Ears
Prominent ears, often referred to as “protruding ears,” can be a source of self-consciousness and discomfort for many individuals. At Mr. Nigel Mabvuure’s practice, we understand the impact that ear appearance can have on one’s self-esteem and overall confidence. Our goal is to provide a compassionate and professional approach to ear correction, helping you achieve a balanced and harmonious facial appearance.
Understanding Prominent Ears
Prominent ears are typically characterized by an increased angle between the ear and the head, often due to underdeveloped or absent ear folds or an enlarged conchal bowl. This condition can be congenital or develop over time, and while it does not affect hearing, it can lead to psychological distress, especially in children and adolescents.
Otoplasty: The Surgical Solution
Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning surgery, is a highly effective procedure to correct prominent ears. Mr. Nigel Mabvuure specializes in this delicate surgery, which involves reshaping the cartilage to create a natural-looking ear contour that lies closer to the head.
The Procedure
The otoplasty procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and preference. Mr. Mabvuure makes a small incision behind the ear to access the cartilage. The cartilage is then reshaped, and the ear is positioned closer to the head. The incision is closed with sutures, leaving a discreet scar hidden in the natural crease behind the ear.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-surgery, patients can expect some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. A headband is often recommended to support the ears in their new position during the initial healing phase. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a week, with full recovery taking a few weeks.
Benefits of Ear Correction Surgery
Undergoing otoplasty can significantly enhance one’s self-image and confidence. The procedure not only improves the aesthetic appearance of the ears but also alleviates any psychological distress associated with prominent ears. Patients report a renewed sense of self-esteem and comfort in social situations post-surgery.
