Ear Surgery in Cancun

This surgery is also known as Otoplasty or Auriculoplasty and it corrects the shape and projection of ears that are too prominent.

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, offers a variety of benefits for individuals looking to correct the shape, size, or position of their ears. Here are five key benefits of ear surgery:

1. Improved Aesthetic Appearance:

   • Enhanced Ear Position: Otoplasty can reposition ears that stick out prominently, bringing them closer to the head for a more natural look.
   • Symmetry and Proportion: The procedure can correct asymmetries and create a more balanced appearance between the ears and the rest of the facial features.

2. Increased Self-Confidence and Psychological Well-Being:

   • Boost in Self-Esteem: Many individuals experience a significant boost in self-confidence following ear surgery, feeling more comfortable and confident in their appearance.
   • Reduction in Social Anxiety: Correcting prominent or misshapen ears can reduce feelings of self-consciousness and social anxiety, particularly in children and teenagers who may be subject to teasing.

3. Permanent Results:

   • Long-Lasting Improvement: The results of otoplasty are typically permanent, providing a lasting improvement in the shape and position of the ears.
   • No Need for Further Procedures: Once the desired outcome is achieved, there is usually no need for additional procedures, making it a one-time investment in one’s appearance.

4. Enhanced Quality of Life:

   • Comfort with Hairstyles and Accessories: After ear surgery, individuals often feel more comfortable wearing their hair in different styles or using accessories like hats and glasses without worrying about their ears’ appearance.
   • Broader Clothing Choices: With improved ear aesthetics, people may feel more confident wearing various types of clothing, including those that expose the ears.

5. Customizable to Individual Needs:

   • Tailored Solutions: Otoplasty can be customized to address specific concerns, whether it’s reducing the size of the ears, reshaping them, or correcting deformities.
   • Adaptable for All Ages: The surgery is effective for both children and adults, allowing for early correction in children to prevent future emotional distress and providing a solution for adults seeking aesthetic improvements.

Overall, ear surgery is a highly effective procedure that can provide significant aesthetic, emotional, and psychological benefits. Consulting with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon is essential to ensure the best possible outcomes tailored to individual needs and expectations.

It can under local anesthesia in adults or under general anesthesia in children.

The skin of the posterior sulcus of the ear is resected, the cartilage is detached and cut at the junction of the helix and the antihelix. The pre-cartilage skin is removed, the anterior face of the cartilage is removed by removing the perichondrium which produces the curvature in the place we designed during the surgical plan. The ear is fixed to the head, usually after resection of the retroauricular muscles. The wound is sutured and a cotton mold is placed with an occlusive bandage on the ear that is removed in 48 hours.

The results are seen immediately, although there is a healing process and inflammation that gradually decreases. You can return to your daily activities 3 days after the procedure. The ears may remain swollen and with some bruising (ecchymosis) for 2 weeks.

It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions so that the result of the surgery is not compromised during your recovery. The final result is achieved after 1 to 2 months.
