Prominent ear surgery can be performed in childhood and adulthood. It can be done in children from the early childhood period, starting from 5-6 years of age. Having it done during the pre-school period will be beneficial so that the child is not adversely affected socially and psychologically.

While the surgery can be performed with local or general anesthesia in adults, it will be appropriate to perform it under general anesthesia in children. The operation time is 1-2 hours on average. With the incision made behind the ear, maneuvers to eliminate the abnormal angulation of the ear are performed, then the incision is closed by suturing. It is important for the success of the surgery to use an ear bandage for 1 week after the surgery and a tennis bandage at night for the next 3 weeks. Since the incision is made behind the ear, there is no aesthetic incision mark visible in the front or side view. Prominent ear surgery can also be applied together with rhinoplasty surgery.

There may be pain in the ears after the surgery. You can experience a more comfortable process with the painkillers your doctor will recommend to you. Care should be taken not to get any blows to the ear after the surgery. However, the use of masks that will change the ear angulation should be avoided, the masks to be used should be tied behind the head.
