OTOPLASTY, EAR SURGERY AT THE CLINIQUE DE LA CROIX D'OR

The otoplasty operation is performed after a thorough and concerted medical examination during which the surgeon informs the patient precisely of the type of intervention that will be performed and where the scars will be located. The work performed consists of correcting the defect of folding of the ear by working on the shape of its cartilage by passing through the back of the auricle. In itself, the operation lasts from 30 minutes, for the correction of one ear, up to an hour for both. In both cases, the intervention is performed on an outpatient basis: you enter and leave the clinic during the same day. No need to shave your head before the intervention: a ponytail is recommended for female patients and a short haircut is recommended for male patients. In terms of anesthesia, all scenarios are possible, depending on the sensitivity of the patient. For a fearful child, for example, we will take the time to turn to an operation under general anesthesia for more comfort and serenity. Anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory medications should not be ingested at least 10 days before the procedure. Depending on the advice of the team attached to your otoplasty project, we can still carry out preventive treatment against postoperative edema and bruising.
