Otoplasty

Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that aims to correct the shape, position or size of the ears. It is particularly effective for people who feel that their ears protrude excessively or have asymmetry that affects their self-confidence. The procedure can be performed on adults as well as on children from the age of 5 and above, when the ears are now fully developed.

  • Improving the symmetry and proportion of the ears with the rest of the face
  • Minimizing ear projection
  • Increasing the patient's self-confidence and psychological well-being

Medical Evaluation & Consultation Meeting

Before any cosmetic procedure, it is important to start with a relaxed and detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon. Dr. Georgios Papadimitriou always dedicates the necessary time to each patient interested in otoplasty, to explain the procedure step-by-step and answer all your questions. Together, you will discuss potential risks and review your medical history to determine if the procedure is suitable for you.

After the initial evaluation, you may need to undergo additional tests or discuss the surgical plan in more detail. It is also important to inform your doctor about all the medications and supplements you are taking, to ensure it is safe to continue them before the surgery.

You will have all the time you need to ask your questions and feel comfortable before proceeding.

Preoperative Instructions

Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, and herbal supplements that may increase bleeding.Stop smoking several weeks before the surgery to promote better healing and faster recovery. Διακόψτε το κάπνισμα αρκετές εβδομάδες πριν την επέμβαση για καλύτερη επούλωση και γρήγορη αποκατάσταση.

Realistic Expectations

Otoplasty can significantly improve the appearance of your ears, offering a more natural and harmonious look. It is important to understand that the procedure cannot radically change your features or create perfect symmetry.The changes should blend harmoniously with the rest of your facial features, maintaining your naturalness and freshness.

Recovery Process

Mild swelling or bruising is normal and will gradually subside within the first few weeks.It is recommended to wear an elastic bandage to protect and maintain the new position of the ears.The results of otoplasty are almost immediately visible, with further improvement as the swelling continues to subside.
