Descripción
This 26-year-old woman was bothered by the prominent or “stuck out” appearance of her ears, and wanted to improve their appearance and symmetry. Our Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman treated this young woman with otoplasty, or surgical ear-shaping, to contour the ears and bring them closer to her head. This patent’s otoplasty surgery involved trimming a small piece of cartilage at the concha (or seashell-shaped bowl of cartilage just behind the ear canal) to decrease the concha’s height and bring the ear closer to the head; and reshaping the upper part of the ear to deepen a fold of cartilage called the antihelical fold. Our patient is shown 7 months after her surgery, and has a beautiful and symmetric treatment outcome, with which she is very happy. At 7 months, her ears are almost entirely healed with a permanent reshaping result.
Si bien los niños tratados con otoplastia obtienen mejores resultados con anestesia general (o estando dormidos en el quirófano), la mayoría de los adultos pueden someterse a la cirugía de otoplastia con la ayuda de medicamentos relajantes por vía oral, gas hilarante y medicamentos anestésicos inyectados. Esta paciente tuvo su cirugía de otoplastia mientras estaba despierta y relajada con medicamentos relajantes por vía oral y gas de la risa en la comodidad de nuestra lujosa clínica, y tuvo una gran y cómoda experiencia.
