How does Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) work?
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, works by reshaping the cartilage of the ears to create a more natural and balanced appearance. The procedure typically involves making an incision behind the ear to access the cartilage. The cartilage is then reshaped, repositioned, or removed as necessary to achieve the desired look. The incisions are carefully placed to be hidden in the natural folds of the ear. Once the desired shape is achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures. This procedure can correct a variety of ear issues, including prominent ears, asymmetry, and deformities.
What to expect during Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) in Nairobi?
At Avané Clinic in Nairobi, ear surgery (otoplasty) begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and plan the best approach. The procedure, performed under local or general anaesthesia, typically lasts 1 to 2 hours. After surgery, a head bandage will support the new ear shape and reduce swelling. Patients may experience mild discomfort and swelling, which usually subsides within a few days. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided. Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, with full results visible after a few months as the swelling completely subsides.
