Ear Aesthetics
Halk arasında kepçe kulak olarak da tabir edilen kulak kepçesi problemleri, kişinin genetik yapısına bağlı olarak çok değişik şekil ve boyut farklılıkları gösterebilmektedir. Kulak gelişiminin %85’i 5 yaşına kadar kendini tamamlamaktadır. Bu anlamda erken teşhis ve erken müdahale bireyin ilerleyen yaşlarda ruhsal sağlığını çok olumlu etkileyecektir. En sık rastlanan ve halk arasında kepçe kulak diye tabir edilen, tıp dilinde ise “Prominent Ear" The problems we call deformity cause major problems in the social environment of the individual. The effects on mental health and human relations are very high. Although our ears are sensory organs, they form the side visual boundaries of our facial environment. If the angle of our ears with the head is more than it should be, it is called prominent ear, and if this angle is lower than it should be, it is called conjoined ear.
For prominent ear surgery, deformities should be determined first. Considering the age of the defect and the degree of hardness of the ear cartilage, the surgical planning stage is started. Photographing is very important before prominent ear surgery. In order to obtain a healthy otoplasty surgery result, the photography process is a detail that should not be skipped.
As in every surgery, the postoperative process is very important in ear aesthetic surgery. A successful aesthetic operation should be crowned with a successful postoperative process. The dressing mould made after the operation completely prevents complications such as bleeding and blood accumulation. The mould worn after the operation is removed after 5 days. After the mould is removed, a hair band should be used while sleeping at night for 3 weeks. The healing process in children and adults is 1 week. After 1 week, you can return to work and education life. All kinds of external factors and activities that may cause the ears to bend or fold should be avoided for 1 month. After about 2 months, the ears will take their final shape. Even if the final shape is formed in 2 months, the change in the ears is noticeable from the first day. With the successful postoperative process, the highest rate of satisfactory results is prominent ear surgery.
There are treatment options for different age groups for prominent ear correction. In infants, prominent ear correction treatment is usually performed with the use of a device that fixes the ears in their normal position. In children, the device can be used for a temporary period, as the ears are in the process of growing. However, prominent ear correction in adults usually requires a surgical intervention. This procedure, called otoplasty, allows the ears to be returned to their normal position and usually aims to achieve permanent results. Prominent ear correction treatment may vary depending on the individual's age, prominent ear severity and preferences.
Prominent ear in infants refers to the condition in which the ears are sloped outwards more than normal. This condition usually occurs as a genetic feature. One of the most effective methods for treating prominent ears is the use of a device that allows babies' ears to be fixed in their normal position. This device can correct the development of babies' ear cartilage. Starting treatment as early as possible can help to achieve more effective results.
