Ear Aesthetics is not a technically difficult operation. It is usually performed under “Local Anesthesia”, that is, with an anesthesia technique in which the patient is awake. In this way, the patient can see the result of the operation even during the operation. If any, he/she can share his/her thoughts with the doctor.
Ear deformities such as Prominent Ear, Hidden Ear, Stahl’s Ear (Mr Spock Ear) etc. It is very common and can cause a person to lack self-confidence and social shyness. Women often wear their hair long and loose to cover their ears. She avoids tying her hair up and making a bun. However, long and straight hair is not suitable always and everywhere. It is difficult to walk around with long and loose hair in hot weather. When it comes to proms, weddings, engagements, etc., it is difficult to give the hair a model that “suits the chosen outfit”.
The situation may be even more challenging for men. It is often difficult for men to hide their ears by growing their hair long. Long hair may not be accepted at school, at work or in social circles.
People with prominent ears may be subjected to “peer bullying” during childhood. Children generally do not hesitate to make fun of each other and point out existing flaws. This can lead to lack of self-confidence, depression, school failure, aggression, etc. in children who are exposed to ridicule. . Over time, all these experiences may lead to an obsession with hiding one’s ears.
For this reason, it should be considered natural that people with prominent ears or other ear deformities have some “obsession”. There is no rule that says everyone will have it. Therefore, the earlier the ear deformities are repaired, the more spiritually protected the person will be.
According to the author of this article, the most important point in prominent ear aesthetics is timing. When performed at an early age, it protects the person mentally, but in children, operations are performed under “general anesthesia”. This naturally scares families. However, anesthesia techniques have advanced incomparably compared to previous years, and when explained well, general anesthesia is not a situation to be afraid of. Ear growth in childhood should also be taken into consideration. The decision to have prominent ear surgery in childhood should be taken together by the doctor and the family. Sometimes, “circumcision” and “prominent ears” can be performed at the same time in boys.
General anesthesia is usually not required in adults. The operation can be easily performed with local anesthesia.
Sometimes deformed ears can be corrected with a single operation technique, while sometimes several techniques may need to be blended in the same surgery. The surgery usually takes one to one and a half hours. The patient can take a shower the next day after the surgery. The patient’s social life is not affected much.
An important point is that it is necessary to wear a Corset Band for two or three weeks after the surgery. However, other accessories such as special hair ties, head scarves, berets, headphones, and buffs can also be used instead of tape. In this way, the person can return to work or social life even in the early period.
