The condition, which is commonly described as a flap-eared, causes a number of psychological problems, especially in childhood and puberty.
What is ear aesthetics?
Ear aesthetics is the process of correcting protruding ears and putting them in a normal position. The appearance is corrected with ear aesthetics. The prominent ear problem is mostly caused by genetic reasons. The function of the ear is normal but causes aesthetic anxiety.
How is ear aesthetics performed?
Flap-ear correction is usually performed by a small incision made from the back of the ear. The angle between the ear and the head is narrowed by using special techniques behind the ear.
Why is a doctor’s examination essential for ear aesthetics?
Aesthetic operations are surgical procedures. Before the surgical procedure is applied, detailed examination should be conducted and what to do during the operation should be planned. The operation should be performed by plastic surgeons. There are two targets in surgery: i) The protruding-ear should be brought to normal appearance to eliminate the aesthetic anxiety of the patient and ii) ensure that the operation goes without any complication.
