Since 86% of ear development is completed at the age of 4, ear operations can be performed from the age of 6 years. Our suggestion is to perform within 6 years of surgery before the psychological and traumatic process begins. However, this operation can be performed at any desired age.
Although many types of surgery have been described, our preference is to bring the external spring called scapha to the appropriate position and to place it in the ideal angle with the skull of the ear, without interrupting the cartilages and cutting down if necessary, in the middle of the ear called antihelix. Operation can be performed under local anesthesia. It Is an operation about 1 hour. There is no need for the patient to the hospital. About 2 weeks of bandage is used (preferably after 2 to 3 days of athletic band) and there may be a slight pain that can be controlled by painkillers.
