Otoplasty
The ear is one of the most noticeable facial features and complex structures of the face. Unfortunately, ears that stand out are often the source of teasing and ridicule, particularly among young children. These feelings of self-consciousness and embarrassment can be present in patients of any age and have a devastating effect on their psyche.
Ears usually reach their full growth size between ages 5 or 6 years old, so basically, anyone can be a good candidate for Kenya otoplasty. Many surgeons believe that Kenya otoplasty should be performed at an early age to avoid or reduce all the teasing. But to figure out the cause of the protrusion, the patient must first undergo a complete physical examination. That’s why a preliminary consultation is so essential.
At Diamond Plastic Surgery, our surgeons take the time to tailor this procedure to best suit our patients’ needs so that they can enjoy long-lasting results. This article covers a variety of questions and cosmetic concerns patients may have regarding Kenya otoplasty. You will learn about how this cosmetic, reconstructive surgery can improve both the functional and aesthetic appearance of your ears.
What is otoplasty?
Otoplasty, also known as pinnaplasty and ear reshaping, is a cosmetic ear surgery that helps enhance the size, shape, and position of the outer ear. This surgical procedure can correct ear deformities or improve their appearance significantly. Kenya otoplasty can be used for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons.
One of the most common examples of cosmetic ear surgery is the pinning back of prominent ears while reconstructive ear surgery focuses more on building the outer ear.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF OTOPLASTY?
Kenya otoplasty can provide many benefits to patients with large, protruding ears:
- Corrects some cosmetic issues and treats a variety of deformities such as folded, small, protruding, cupped, and cauliflower ears.
- One of the safest surgeries and patients only receive a mild anesthetic. However, surgeons recommend that children undergo anesthesia before surgery.
- It renews the patient’s self-confidence. Patients that were once ridiculed and discriminated against are no longer targets of cruel bullying. Many clinical studies show that individuals with prominent ears have much lower self-esteem and confidence. Thankfully, Kenya otoplasty can correct these issues and help patients regain their confidence level.
- Patients with stretched lobes can benefit from earlobe reconstruction, a quick procedure that aims at restoring the natural appearance of the ear.
- Restore balance to the face as extra skin and cartilage are reshaped and skin is rejuvenated.
