“The usual deformity that leads people to consider an otoplasty surgery is an ear wich protrudes too much from the side of the head”.<\/p>\n\t
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure performed on the ear to correct the position of the protruding ears, due to the absence of the natural folds of cartilage. Otoplasty is used to help patients acquire a more cosmetically appealing ears and improve their self-image.<\/p>\n
Dr. Cabrera uses Chongchet otoplasty technique. This technique produce a very natural result and low recurrence rate because malformed cartilage is reshaped without stitches. In other otoplasty techniques is necessary to provide permanent stitches and eventually those stitches can give problems to the patient such as extrusion or recurrence (when the stitches lose stress).<\/p>\n
Children from school age with a congenital deformity of protuding ears whose parents choose to correct the defect. In adolescence or adulthood this treatment is quite common as well.<\/p>\n
A otoplasty times depends on the extent of the ear deformity. Usually time of surgery is between one hour and one hour and a half.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOther procedures\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFAQS\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOtoplasty before and after pictures\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\tWHAT QUESTION SHOULD I ASK TO MY SURGEON IF I AM THINKING TO HAVE A OTOPLASTY?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t Questions that you must ask to your surgeon include certification (Member of the Spanish Society of Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery), years in practice and specialization in the facial aesthetic surgery.
