Otoplasty
Being one of the most common imbalances in the physiognomy, ear shape and size is one of the aesthetic concerns of many people, since childhood. The most frequent complaints are expressed by formulations telling total dissatisfaction. For example: “I have asymmetrical ears”, “I am lop-eared”, “My ears are too big”. These expressions hide not only a dissatisfaction with the ears, but also a lack of trust and emotional imbalances, actually generated by these small defects.
The correction of all these emotional and aesthetic discontents, is made through surgery, performed on the external ear – otoplasty surgery. Because ot the the amount of people dissatisfied with the appearance, size and position of their ears, otoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedure. If you are one of those people requesting this intervention, you will find bellow the details about the recovery period and the risks that are involved.

The intervention is performed under general anesthesia (general anesthesia is the best choice for patient’s safety and comfort in the realization of the operation). Hospitalization is made for one night only.
