Can the shape of the ears be corrected?
Question asked: - 28. 07. 2024
My son is seven years old and has a tight left ankle. The right one is also deformed, irregularly shaped and larger than the left. I know that clumsiness can be surgically corrected, but I'm wondering if the irregular shape can be corrected as well? Thanks in advance.

Clumpness in the ears, as well as irregularities in their shape, can be successfully corrected with an operation known as otoplasty. Otoplasty not only corrects clumsiness (excessive protrusion of the ear ;nih šcoljki), but can also include correction of the shape inši, which would achieve greater symmetry and a natural appearance.
In the case of your son, it is possible to adjust the shape of both ears to make them more symmetrical and more regular. This operation is usually recommended for children older than 6 years, when the inner cartilage is sufficiently developed to achieve stable and permanent results.
If you wish, we can arrange for your son to come to our clinic in order to perform a detailed examination and discuss all possibilities. We are at your disposal for any additional information and to provide the best solution.

I broke my nose as a child, which is now crooked and makes it difficult for me to breathe on the right side. I am 25 years old and I am thinking about surgery. Is the surgery painful? Can you tell me more about the postoperative course and how long I will have to stay in the hospital?
