Expert Care by Prof. Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez
Prof. Dr. Karabekmez is a specialist in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. He is a Fellow of the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. He also serves as a Professor at Ankara Medipol University. His clinic welcomes about 600 international patients every year from Europe, the USA, and Canada. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government. Surgeries take place at the internationally accredited Acıbadem Ankara Hospital.
The Otoplasty Procedure
Otoplasty, often called ear pinning, corrects ears that stick out or appear too large. The surgeon makes a small incision behind the ear to reach the cartilage. Permanent sutures are used to reshape the ear and set it at a natural angle. This method hides scars in the natural fold behind the ear.
- Duration: The surgery typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours.
- Anesthesia: Adults usually receive local anesthesia, while children often have general anesthesia.
- Hospital Stay: Patients often leave the hospital the same day after the procedure.
- Age Range: Children can have this surgery from age 6 to help build confidence before starting school.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery is usually quick, and most people return to their normal routine within 1 or 2 weeks. Some swelling and bruising are normal during the first few days. Patients must wear a headband or tennis bandage for at least 2 weeks. This protects the ears from accidental trauma while they heal in their new position. While ear splinting can help newborns, surgery is the only way to correct ear shape after the first month of life.
International patients can request an online consultation before traveling to Ankara. This helps in planning the treatment and discussing goals with the surgeon. You can leave a request on Bookimed to start the process and learn more about your options.
