Benefits & Considerations >> Otoplasty (Ear Job)

What are the benefits of Ear Surgery?

• Improved appearance
  
  
• Greater confidence and self-esteem
  
  
• No need for hospitalisation
• Minimal scarring in a concealed position behind the ear
  
  
• Relatively little pain
  
  
• Quick recovery time
  
  

What are the considerations?

• Adverse reactions to anaesthesia occur very occasionally
• There is always a slight possibility of infection, although this is highly unlikely if antibiotics are taken as prescribed
• A small percentage of patients may develop a blood clot on the ear. This will either dissolve naturally or can be drawn out with a needle
• There can be no guarantee of perfect results
