Procedure Steps
The Journey of Prominent Ear Correction
Prominent ear correction, performed by Dr. Oudit, involves precise surgical steps to ensure optimal outcomes:
- Anesthesia: The procedure typically requires local anesthesia, possibly combined with sedation, ensuring your comfort throughout.
- Incision: Depending on the specific corrections needed, Dr. Oudit will make incisions on the back of the ears or within the inner creases.
- Reshaping: The ear cartilage is then reshaped to achieve the desired appearance. This may involve trimming, shaping, and repositioning to ensure the ears lie closer to the head.
- Suturing: Once the ears are reshaped, sutures are used to secure them in their new position.
- Closing the Incisions: The incisions are closed with stitches, which may dissolve or require removal later.
Throughout the procedure, Dr. Oudit’s expertise ensures precision and care, minimizing scarring and optimizing the recovery process.
