This procedure can be carried out from the age of five. The child may be aware that he is \u00ab different \u00bb, or is subjected to teasing at school.<\/p>\n
At this age he or she is certainly capable of understanding and accepting surgery carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic.<\/p>\n
The surgeon will naturally talk to the parents and the child to verify his motivation and his wish to undergo the operation. The technique will be explained clearly.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Technique” tab_id=”technique”][vc_column_text el_class=”title title__md title__text-transform-inherit link__secondary” el_id=”technique”]<\/p>\n
Technique<\/h2>\n
The goal is to recreate the natural fold of the ear and to reduce the angle between the ear and the head. I used the threadless technique based on the remodeling of the cartilage by creating an incision in the back fold of the ear.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Procedure” tab_id=”procedure”][vc_column_text el_class=”title title__md title__text-transform-inherit link__secondary” el_id=”procedure”]<\/p>\n
Procedure<\/h2>\n
It is generally carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation or light general anaesthetic.<\/p>\n
Patients leave the clinic the same evening. The procedure takes about one hour.<\/p>\n
The patient is positioned on an operating table, lying on his back with his head turned to one side.<\/p>\n
The anaesthetic is injected into the outer ear. Defects of the rim of the ear are correctec by folding the cartilage. The position of the middle part of the ear is
\ncorrected, and sometimes oversized ears are remodelled at the same time.<\/p>\n
The surgeon uses non-dissolvable stitches.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”After the operation” tab_id=”after”][vc_column_text el_class=”title title__md title__text-transform-inherit link__secondary” el_id=”after”]<\/p>\n
After the operation<\/h2>\n
Patients may return home on the same day if the anaesthetist agrees. They must wear a dressing and a compression headband.<\/p>\n
The dressing is generally worn until the stitches have been absorbed, usually on the 7th day.<\/p>\n
The elastic headband, which looks like the sort of headband used by skiers, needs to be worn for another two weeks, particularly at night while the healing tissue is still fragile. Analgesic medication is routinely prescribed for the first 24 to 48 hours.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The results” tab_id=”results”][vc_column_text el_class=”title title__md title__text-transform-inherit link__secondary” el_id=”results”]<\/p>\n
The results<\/h2>\n
The ears may be a bit swollen and reddish for about a week, and the result is fully stable after a few months.This procedure corrects the twin deformations of the outer ear and restores self-confidence and wellbeing.<\/p>\n
