Benefits of Otoplasty
As different people have different reasons for wanting to have corrective ear surgery, the benefits will vary from person to person. However, we’ve outlined below some of the more general benefits and risks which can arise from Otoplasty:
- People enjoy greater confidence
- This in turn can improve peoples levels of self esteem
- Unwanted comments and attention is lost
- People feel more comfortable swimming, and generally – with their overall appearance
Risks of Ear Surgery
- If wounds are not treated properly, healing can be delayed
- Wounds can also potentially get infected if they are not kept clean
- Some people suffer pressure sores which result from the bandages
- Lack of symmetry – Whilst the greatest of care is taken when working on the ears, it is possible that they will not be exactly symmetrical. In these cases, further surgery may be undertaken
