What is Pinnaplastics?
Pinnaplastics is a medical term for a specific cosmetic ear. Operations, also known as heating, include the transformation of cartilage or removal of the skin to make a prominent ears closer to the head or change the shape or size of the ears. Pinnaplastics is a common procedure and is suitable for adults and children over five years of age. During the pinnaplastics, the surgeon performs a small cut behind the ear near the head. This is to reveal the cartilage that holds the ear on the head in a particular position. The surgeon then either transforms the cartilage or removes some cartilage to move the ear closer to the head, thus lasting less.
The skin can also be removed to reduce the ear. Sometimes the patient's ears are asymmetric and the physician makes more changes in one ear than the other to try to make them even. After the surgeon's pinstisis, he improved his cartilage and put some stitches in the cut to hold his ear while healing.
The pinnaplastics procedure is performed under a general anesthetic or local anesthetist. It takes aboutAn hour and the patient can usually go home on the same day. The patient must usually wear a bandage or headband for one week or more to keep his ears in place.
This type of cosmetic ears is only suitable for people over five years of age. The ears of younger children usually seem more pronounced because they continue to grow. Children under five years also have an immature cartilage that does not hold a new shape well.
After surgery, the patient may feel swollen and bruised at the scene of the operation. The skin stain behind the ear may also feel numb, but this effect is usually temporary. Instead of cutting, it will also lead to a small scar that becomes less known over time.
complications of pinnaplastics include infection at the point of cut and bleeding inside the scar. These conditions may require further surgery, although infection can also be treated with antibiotics. The scars of some patients can be increased and red. Another side effect of the procedureThey may be asymmetric ears, or the ear adjustments may not have in place, which requires further procedure. It is normal that the patient's ears move slightly forward during the healing process.
