There are two types of ear surgery, either surgical or non-surgical method:

    • Surgical method: In this one, the doctor makes a surgical incision, whose size is determined according to the patient’s ear defects, to correct them.
    • Non-surgical method: The doctor reshapes the cartilage of the ear and tightens it back by using golden threads. Then makes a very small incision in the back of the ear, which enables him to control the cartilage, and finally closes the incision.

For children, a candidate for ear surgery should meet the following conditions:

  1. The candidate should be in good health, without any serious diseases or chronic ear infections.

There are three stages of ear surgery:

  1. Anesthesia: Anesthesia can be local or general, depending on the patient’s condition, usually determined by the doctor.
  2. Making an incision: To correct the prominent ears, the size of the inner fold of the ear is usually increased while the size of the cartilage is reduced to give a bigger concavity of the ear. For the other incisions, surgical incisions are generally made in the back area of ​​the ear but sometimes, it is necessary to make it in the anterior area of the air to hide it within the folds inside the ear.
  3. Closing the surgical incisions: Surgical incisions are closed with external medical stitches on the back of the ear to avoid any signs due to the incisions.
