Ear Surgery
Many infants are born with larger than average ears. Their ears may lack some of the definition and folds that characterize a normal ear. As an infant grows, the ear abnormality becomes more noticeable. Though many plastic surgeons would like to correct ear deformities at a younger age, the ear has not developed sufficiently. If doctors intervene too soon, the abnormal ear will change too much after surgery, making results unpredictable. At six to seven years old, the ears achieve 80 percent of their growth. This is a special milestone for the children as they begin their education. Many people wait until adulthood to pursue surgical correction of their ears. The treatment is essentially the same regardless of the age of a patient.
Based on the appearance of the abnormal ear, there are several treatment options available. Surgical procedures involve pinning back the ears with special sutures, sculpting the ear cartilage to give it the necessary detail and size or placing sutures within the cartilage to give it the grooves that characterize a normal ear. Doctors perform these procedures under light or full general anesthesia. Surgeons place a thin plastic drain inside the wound to collect any fluid oozing out. After surgery, doctors apply a special bandage the ear to maintain even pressure to minimizing the risk of additional oozing.
Q: How long will it take for swelling to subside?
A: Many patients go back to work one to two weeks after having surgery. Some people may notice swelling of the affected area and others may not. It generally takes six to eight weeks for 80 percent of the swelling to subside after any type of surgery. The remainder of the inflammation and swelling resolves in the following four months. However, no two people are alike and each person heals at a different rate; recovery periods vary.
