Auricles are the outer part of the speaker system. They perform a protective function, protecting the hearing aid from external influences.
Professional otoplasty in Kiev: laser correction of the ears at competitive prices fit of the ear.
In the clinic "Laparoscopic and bariatric hospital" the following types of ear plastics are performed:
otoplasty;
earlobe plastic surgery.
Plasty of the auricles, or otoplasty, is a surgical procedure, the task of which is to eliminate protruding ears, asymmetry of the ear cartilage and other deformities of the external hearing organ. The auricle reconstruction operation is performed completely or partially, depending on the complexity of the aesthetic defect.
The popularity of otoplasty is due to the versatility of the procedure (it allows you to get rid of almost all visual defects of the auricle), as well as the absence of visual consequences of the correction - scars, unaesthetic sutures, etc.
Unlike other cosmetic procedures that require the age maturity of the patient, otoplasty is performed even for children. Given the peculiarities of the development of cartilage tissue, experts allow otoplasty for a child from 30 years old, if there are no individual contraindications.
Based on the goals of ear correction, otoplasty can be:
aesthetic (surgery to correct a congenital defect of the auricle, size, shape, etc.);
reconstructive (surgery to restore the original shape of the ear, broken as a result of trauma, disease, burns, etc.) ).
Correction of the auricles with protruding ears is the most popular type of otoplasty. The causes of protruding ears are:
excessive height of the cup;
underdeveloped or flattened curl;
a combination of excessive height of the ear shell and congenital deformity of the curl.
In each specific case, an individual otoplasty technique is chosen. Prior to the development of laser technology, otoplasty was performed exclusively with a scalpel, often under general anesthesia. Modern aesthetic surgery uses bloodless, less traumatic techniques.
Many specialized institutions perform otoplasty in Kyiv. Laser correction of the ears is one of the types of services offered by the Kyiv laser surgery clinic "Laparoscopic and bariatric hospital".

Preparation for surgery
Before performing otoplasty in our clinic, a preliminary consultation with a plastic surgeon is carried out. It examines and discusses the patient's problems, draws up an operation plan taking into account existing wishes, and specifies the price of otoplasty. The doctor conducts a simulation of the results on a computer so that you can get a complete picture of the final result. To prepare for the intervention, it is necessary to conduct analyzes and examinations. This is:
general urine and blood tests;
biochemical study, clotting test, tests for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis;
ECG;
fluorographic examination.
In addition, the doctor gives a number of recommendations before otoplasty in order to reduce the risks of possible complications. It is important to stop smoking, drinking alcohol, stop taking drugs that affect clotting, as well as non-steroidal drugs.
Operation progress
The type of anesthesia is discussed before the operation. In most cases, the doctor uses local anesthesia, but it is possible to perform the operation under general anesthesia. After anesthesia, the surgeon makes incisions behind the ear, removes excess cartilage, correcting the shape of the ear. The operation can take up to 60 minutes or more. After carrying out all the necessary actions, the skin returns to its place, the doctor stitches. After the operation, discomfort in the wound area is possible.
Depending on the chosen method, the doctor can use both his own ear tissues and take part of the cartilage from the ribs. It is possible to perform laser otoplasty, which has a number of advantages, reduces tissue injury and blood loss. But it is not suitable in all cases.
