What is Otoplasty
Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery, is a surgical procedure that modifies the ears in terms of size, shape, or position.
This operation is often chosen by individuals seeking changes for ears that may appear too large, asymmetrical, or shaped differently due to congenital conditions or injury. The procedure addresses a variety of ear concerns, including large ears, protruding ears, and shape irregularities.
Dr. Sawhney’s approach in otoplasty is individualised, taking into account the patient’s facial structure and specific ear-related issues. The aim is to achieve a balanced appearance that is harmonious with the ears’ natural contours. This procedure involves more than adjusting the ears’ position; it may include reshaping the cartilage and modifying the size of the ears to ensure a natural positioning relative to the head.
Dr. Sawhney’s Approach to Otoplasty
Dr. Sawhney personalises each otoplasty to suit the patient’s unique requirements, understanding the importance of how each ear complements the facial profile. His meticulous approach combines surgical accuracy with an artistic perspective to create outcomes that aesthetically align with the patient’s facial features.
During consultations, Dr Sawhney evaluates the ears in relation to the patient’s face, discussing various techniques like ear pinning, earlobe reduction, or cartilage reshaping. He may use imaging technology to simulate potential outcomes, aiding in the decision-making process. Patient education is key in Dr. Sawhney’s practice, ensuring patients are fully informed about the procedure, recovery, and expected results.
The Otoplasty Consultation
Consultations for otoplasty with Dr. Sawhney are comprehensive, focusing on understanding the patient’s specific ear structure and its relation to facial balance. He assesses the size, shape, symmetry, and position of the ears and discusses the various surgical options available.
During the consultation, Dr. Sawhney explains the surgery’s nature, its limitations, and the realistic results that can be achieved. Risks associated with the procedure, post-operative care, and the recovery process are also thoroughly discussed. This comprehensive approach ensures that patients are well-informed and can confidently make decisions regarding the surgery.
Candidates for Otoplasty
Suitable candidates for otoplasty typically include individuals looking to change the appearance of their ears due to size, shape, or position. The procedure is suitable for adults and children, typically aged five or older, when the ears have nearly reached their adult size.
Dr. Sawhney evaluates each candidate’s medical history, ear anatomy, and aesthetic objectives during the consultation to ensure they are suitable for this procedure. The evaluation helps in devising a surgical plan tailored to the patient’s specific concerns.
