Ear reshaping

overly prominent or protruding ears can be a real source of irritation to the person involved. In some cases they even cause psychological problems. The position can be corrected by a small operation so that irritation and personal insecurities will belong to the past.
After the ear correction, a head bandage is applied and has to stay on day and night for a week. Ten days after the ear correction, the stitches will be removed. Afterwards, you need to wear a swaddle or a firm tape around the head at night for about three weeks.

An ear correction is performed under a local anaesthetic and less than one hour. After the treatment, you can immediately go home. A small incision is made at the backside of the earshell and the cartilage is corrected. In this way the corner of the ear with the head is made smaller. Sutures will be removed after one week.

Following the operation, you will be required to wear a head bandage which can not be replaced during one week, day and night. After that you will have to wear a normal bandage for another three weeks, only during the night. Swelling will disappear after more or less two weeks.
Most patients restart their work after one week.
