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 extremely pleased with every aspect of my care at the Nuffield Health, Woking, starting with my first consultation through pre-op assessment, admission, surgery and after care/physio. Every single member of staff I encountered treated me with the utmost care & respect and I cannot praise them highly enough. My operation, which was carried out on 17th January 2017, has, so far, been wonderfully successful and I thank my surgeon & their team for their tremendous work. Original Comment Report... |

I have used this hospital on several occasions, Have never had cause to complain. I used the hospital again yesterday, Thursday 18th August, 2016... Recieved excellent care for a procedure carried out under day care. Room was clean, the staff I found extremely helpful and polite. They all went out of their way to make me feel at ease. I was extremely nervous. In the operating theatre, they were even better in making me relax, Not an easy job with me, lol... Not the best of patients, I would like to convey a special thank you to the doctor and Staff in the theatre...Thank you. Original Comment Report... |
