Procedure Information |
Ear Repositioning (Otoplasty) is a surgical procedure that is usually performed to move the ears into a more natural looking position closer to the head. What does the surgery involve? During the operation, the surgeon will adjust the shape of the ear cartilage to allow it to fold back into a more usual position. Surgery is carried out through an incision (cut) hidden in the fold on the back of the ear. Once corrected, this incision is stitched together and a rather bulky bandage is put around your head. Otoplasty can be performed using either a general anaesthetic or a local anaesthetic and takes between one to two hours to perform. Providing all is well, you can expect to go home the same day. What are the risks and side effects of surgery? Text overlaid on man giving presentation: attend one of our free upcoming cosmetic surgery open events Complications are infrequent and usually minor. However, no surgery is without risk. Blood can collect beneath the skin of the ear. This may need to be drained. Infection in the ears can occur although it is rare. Scars can become thick and red which may need further treatment. Unpredictable results are possible (uncommon). Cartilage is a living tissue and it may alter its shape over time. Very occasionally, a second operation may be required to refine your results. It is also possible that the ear can return to its pre-surgery position. This, however, is rare. When the dressings come off, your ears may look red or bruised for a while. However, the new shape should be fairly clear to see. |

I was an inpatient for surgery and the overall temperature in the ward was incredibly hot due to good weather outside, all in patient rooms and areas need individual air conditioning units to control the temperature as even a bar of chocolate in my bedside melted, it was particularly hot for all the nursing staff working too. Fly screens at the bedroom windows would stop all the insects from entering the rooms attracted by any night lights. The mobile CT and MRI scanner lorries parked outside were continuously noisy throughout the night making whirring noises which echoed around the car park. All staff I met were attentive, caring and extremely helpful making my stay a really positive experience. |

I have just had a partial thyroid removal. the whole experience from initial consultation to the actual surgery involved a number of staff. from the lady who emptied the bin to the surgeon who carried out rhe procedure was exceptional. nothing was too much trouble. it would be difficult to pick out one member because they were all exceptional. I would have no hesitation of returning to Nuffield should the need arise. |
