Otoplasty can usually be done after the patient turns 6 years old, but in your case, given that your son in adolescence, this is an ideal time for surgery. Teenagers often experience emotional stress about their physical appearance, so ear surgery will help improve self-confidence. I recommend that, if necessary, we also consult with a psychologist, in order to make sure that yourš son emotionally ready for the procedure.

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?
