Otoplasty

Are you or your child a good candidate for Otoplasty or Ear Pinning in Mexico?

If the ears are too large or overly protrude, otoplasty or ear pinning in Mexico can help.
This procedure is mostly performed on children of about 5 or 6 years old. The ear reaches it’s full size and it almost completely formed by 5 or 6 years of age. Early intervention can be an incentive because the ear cartilage is still soft and pliable during the early years. This makes this procedure easier to perform when it’s done at a young age. It also allows children with large or badly shaped ears to avoid the traumatic teasing from their friends at school.

Adults can also benefit from this procedure. Otoplasty or ear pinning in Mexico can reconstruct an ear that has been injured or can correct the area of the earlobes that have been broken due to the use of heavy earrings or trauma.

The otoplasty procedure in Mexico takes approximation 1 to 2 hours to complete. The otoplasty surgery can be performed as an in/ office procedure or at a surgery center. The plastic surgeon can use only local anesthesia or a light sedation to keep patients relaxed and comfortable.

There are many otoplasty techniques in Mexico that the plastic surgeons use to better the appearance of the ears. Mostly the otoplasty incisions are hidden behind the ear in the natural crease to have any visible scarring. The ear is held back with permanent stitches once the cartilage is reshaped and trimmed.

Right after the otoplasty surgery in Mexico, a bandage will be put around the head to keep the ears in place. Generally a headband is used for about a week after the otoplasty in Mexico. Otoplasty results / ear pinning results are immediate and long lasting.
