How to Perform Otoplasty (Ears operation)?

Otoplasty is performed with general anesthesia in children under 10-12 years of age and local anesthesia in older people.
In the technique made, cartilage tissue is shaped by entering with a small incision made behind the ear. Permanent and durable seams are put in place to ensure that the given shape is not disturbed. The operation is completed in an average of 1 hour for both ears. Bandages are attached to the ears. Patients who have applied local anesthesia are discharged from the hospital after 1 hour and those who are under general anesthesia are discharged from the hospital on the same day after 4 hours. After the operation, only incision marks remain.
In rope scoop ear aesthetics, no incision is made. It is especially preferred by those who do not want general anesthesia and incision. However, depending on the patient’s condition, the doctor may decide on general anesthesia. Medical ropes are placed and pulled with the help of a needle from the upper cartilage tissue of the ear and given the desired shape. The holes opened by the needle are closed with small bands. Hair bands are attached to the patient’s head. The operation is completed in an average of 15 minutes.

The age of blepharoplasty may vary depending on the cause. Genetic problems can be operated after the twenties and age-related problems from the thirties. In children with congenital functional eyelid problems, surgery should be performed until the age of six.
How to Perform Eyelid Aesthetics?
The operation is usually performed with local anesthesia (only by anesthetizing the area around the eyes) and sedation (sedatives). General anesthesia may be preferred according to the patient’s condition. The operation takes an average of 1 hour. The patient can go home on the same day.
During surgery, incisions are made through the natural lines of the upper eyelids and just below the eyelashes in the lower eyelids. By entering the incisions, the herniated adipose tissue is corrected and the excess muscle and skin tissue is removed. It is based on the protection of adipose tissue as much as possible without removing it.
Raising Eyebrows
Eyebrows are one of the most important elements that determine our facial expression. Downwardly sagging eyebrows often give a tired, sad or old expression.
Eyebrows may sag down due to age, genetic factors, weight gain and loss, certain diseases (facial paralysis, tumors, etc.). In some cases, sagging of the eyebrows can reach advanced dimensions, hindering the patient’s vision.
With eyebrow lifting operation, a young and energetic expression is restored to the face.
There are different surgical techniques for eyebrow lifting. This is determined by the patient. The most commonly applied is performed by incision between the scalp. The operation is performed under general anesthesia. The tissues under the eyebrows are hung upwards by entering through a few inches of incision made between the hairs. Immediately after the operation, which lasts about 1 hour, the person can return to his daily life. Stitches are removed after a week. For 4-5 days there may be swelling and slight pain around the forehead and eyes. Very rarely, loss of sensation may occur on the edges of the eyebrows, but this condition disappears within a few weeks. Since the incision is made through the scalp, the marks are invisible. The actual result of the operation begins to be seen in about three months.
