Procedure details
Due to the patient’s problems, various techniques are used for autoplasty and ear surgery in Iran.
In common ear surgery procedures, the surgeon makes a small incision in the back of the ear to expose the cartilage. Excess cartilage and skin are then removed. Dissolvable sutures are then used to complete the surgery.
In non-surgical autoplasty, no incisions are made, and the surgeon uses only sutures to position the ears in an ideal position and achieve a good appearance. These special sutures stay in place permanently. After a short recovery period, the sutures are no longer visible.
Otoplasty Recovery
Like any other surgery, after ear surgery in Iran, you need a few days of care to have a good recovery period. After Otoplasty surgery in Iran, a soft dressing is placed on the surgical site. Your doctor will advise you on when to remove it and how to manage it while you sleep.
Sometimes, your doctor may prescribe a soft, flexible headwrap. The use of this headwrap keeps the ears in proper condition and protects them in the healing process.
Also, to reduce the pain after surgery, the patient is prescribed painkillers and other necessary medications by the doctor to minimize the possible discomfort and side effects.
