Confident Ears, Confident You

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes, repositions, or reduces the size of the ears to address concerns like protrusion, asymmetry, or damage from injury or birth defects. It typically involves repositioning the ears closer to the head or reshaping the cartilage for a more balanced appearance.

Types of Treatment

Pinnaplasty

Corrects prominent ears by pinning them closer to the head. Involves reshaping or removing cartilage to achieve the desired position.

Ear Reduction

Reduces the size of large ears to create a more balanced appearance. Involves removing excess skin and cartilage.

Ear Correction

Addresses various congenital or acquired ear deformities. Can include repairing torn earlobes, correcting lop ears, and other specific ear abnormalities.

Leading Up to Your Procedure

Proper preparation is key to ensuring a successful outcome and smooth recovery. Here’s how to prepare for your otoplasty surgery:

Quit Smoking

Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.

Discontinue Contraceptive Pills

For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.

Limit Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.

Stop Blood Thinners, Supplements, and Herbal Teas

Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.

Payment Details

Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.

Visa Arrangements

If you're traveling from abroad, ensure that you have the appropriate visa for entry into Turkey. If your country requires a visa, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance—we're happy to help with the process.

Dietary Recommendations

A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.

Prepare for Post-Surgery Recovery

It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.

Quit Smoking

Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.

Discontinue Medications

Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.

Limit Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.

Payment Details

On the Day of Your Surgery

Your otoplasty procedure will be planned carefully to ensure your comfort and safety. Here’s what to expect:

Arrival at the Hospital

Upon arrival, you’ll check in, and our team will guide you to the pre-operative area where you’ll change into a surgical gown. Your vital signs will be monitored before the procedure.

Blood Tests and Medical Review

A routine blood test will be conducted to ensure you're in optimal health for surgery. This helps assess key factors like blood clotting and general health, which are essential for a safe surgery.

Consultation with Your Surgeon

You will meet with your surgeon to discuss your goals and finalize the details of the procedure. Your surgeon will mark the areas to be treated.

Markings and Preparation

Pre-Surgical Sedation and Anesthesia

You’ll be given local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the surgery. This ensures you're comfortable throughout the procedure.

The Surgery

The surgeon will make small incisions, typically behind the ear or within the natural folds, to minimize visible scarring. The cartilage is then reshaped, repositioned, or removed as needed to achieve the desired ear shape and position. The surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity.

Arrival at the Hospital

Upon arrival, you'll check in and be escorted to a pre-operative area. You’ll change into a gown, and your vital signs will be monitored.

Consultation with Your Dentist

You’ll meet with your dentist to confirm the details of your procedure. This is the time to ask any final questions about your aesthetic goals, the procedure, and the recovery process. Your dentist will also mark the areas to be treated.

Pre-Surgical Sedation and Anesthesia

For most procedures, local anesthesia will be used to numb the treatment area. If needed, light sedation may also be provided to ensure your comfort.

The Procedure

Depending on the procedure (Smile Makeover, crowns, veneers, or implants), your dentist will take the necessary steps to prepare your teeth. This may involve removing damaged or decayed portions of the teeth, placing temporary crowns or veneers, or placing dental implants.

Post-Surgery Care

After the procedure, you’ll be moved to a recovery area, where you’ll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Comfort and safety are prioritized during this phase.

Treatment Recovery

We are committed to ensuring your recovery is as smooth as possible. Here’s what you can expect after your otoplasty procedure:

Post-Operative Care and Hospital Stay

Otoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure, meaning most patients go home the same day. However, if necessary, you may stay for observation overnight.

Discharge and Return to Your Hotel

Once you’re stable, you’ll be discharged and escorted back to your hotel to rest. You should avoid physical activity and allow your body to heal properly.

Follow-Up Appointments

You’ll have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to check on your healing progress and remove any bandages or dressings as needed. The surgeon will also ensure the ears are healing symmetrically.

Activity Restrictions

While most patients can return to light activities in 1-2 weeks, more strenuous activities, such as sports or heavy lifting, should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.

Scarring and Long-Term Care

Scarring is minimal due to the incisions being placed behind the ear or in natural folds. Over time, scars will fade, but they will not completely disappear. Proper aftercare and sun protection will help optimize healing.

Throughout your recovery, our team will be there to support you. Should you have any concerns or questions, we are always available to ensure your healing goes smoothly, and you feel confident in your results.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is otoplasty, and how does it work?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, reposition, or reduce the size of the ears. It can address concerns such as protruding ears, asymmetry, or congenital deformities. The surgery involves making small incisions behind the ear or within the ear’s natural folds, where excess cartilage is removed or repositioned.

2. Am I a good candidate for otoplasty?

Ideal candidates for otoplasty are individuals who have prominent, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears that they wish to improve. Candidates should be in good overall health, with realistic expectations for the procedure's results.

3. How long does recovery take after otoplasty?

Most patients return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but full recovery usually takes 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common immediately after surgery and will subside within a few weeks. You will need to avoid physical activities for at least 4-6 weeks to ensure optimal healing.

4. Will the results of otoplasty last?

Yes, the results of otoplasty are permanent. Once the ears are repositioned or reshaped, they will stay in place permanently. However, natural aging may cause minor changes in the ear’s appearance over time.

5. Is otoplasty painful?

Otoplasty is performed under anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the surgery. Afterward, mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common but manageable with prescribed pain medications. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during recovery.

6. How long will it take to see the final results of my otoplasty?

While initial swelling will subside within a few weeks, the final results of otoplasty may take 3-6 months to fully settle as the ears heal. You should expect to see significant improvement in the shape and position of your ears soon after surgery.

7. What is the difference between a facelift and a mini facelift?

A full facelift targets both the lower face and neck, lifting more tissue for a more dramatic result, while a mini facelift focuses on the lower face and is less invasive with shorter recovery time.

7. Will I be able to breastfeed after breast reduction surgery?

It is possible to breastfeed after breast reduction, but the ability to do so may depend on the technique used and how much tissue is removed. Discuss this with your surgeon prior to surgery to understand the potential impact on breastfeeding.
