Most cosmetic plastic surgery procedures can only be performed on patients who
have reached the age of majority. However, there is no shortage of aesthetic procedures that can also be performed on
patients under 18: otoplasty is among these.
Ear plastic surgery can be performed on older patients
infantile and to be precise from the age of eight. At this age, in fact, the auricular structure
cartilaginous tissue is now fully formed and it is therefore possible to intervene surgically
correct its aesthetic defects.
Resorting to otoplasty in childhood is a choice dictated by aware parents
that a defect such as excessively protruding ears can often represent a problem, come on
psychological implications, undermining the child's self-esteem.
The operation is traditionally performed under local anesthesia with sedation but sometimes,
especially in the presence of small patients, general anesthesia is preferred.
To correct protruding ears, the surgeon makes incisions in the area
retro-auricular to eliminate excess cartilaginous tissue. Once the surgery is completed
dressings are applied.
The dressing traditionally used is the so-called "turban" dressing that covers the ears
and part of the head. Today, however, there are also alternative solutions to limit this to a minimum
discomfort for the patient.
It is in fact possible to reduce the length of time the bandage remains, thanks to a
particular dressing that is directly sutured to the ears at the end of the otoplasty.
In this way, a limitation of the use of dressings is guaranteed, reduced by
seven at just 48 hours.
