Benefits of eliminating lop-eared
Plastic or laser surgery has several advantages:
- Full warranty to eliminate the defect.
- Minimum contraindications.
- Elimination of aesthetic deficiency at any age.
- Short rehabilitation period.
- Results remain for life.
There are non-surgical methods for eliminating erysipelas but they are not suitable for adults and do not give 100% result.

- inflammatory processes;
- diabetes;
- infectious diseases;

It is better to consult a doctor about the possibility of surgery.
The operation process to eliminate lop-earedness
Preliminary preparations are made for surgery: the doctor selects anesthesia, treats the ear with an antiseptic.
The procedure itself can be divided into three main stages:
- An incision from the back of the auricle.
- Fixing the desired shape through the imposition of internal seams.
- The imposition of a cosmetic seam.
After a short rest, the patient can leave the clinic.
Duration and results
The operation lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours. As a result, the ears have given the right shape. A professional surgeon performs a cosmetic suture in such a way that the scar is almost invisible.
Rehabilitation period and aftercare
About 2-3 hours after surgery, analgesics are assigned for use. Painkillers should be taken at night. If the pain persists, regular pharmaceutical painkillers might be used. After the procedure, a hematoma remains, which resolves in a week. Edema subsides after 1-2 weeks.
During the week after the operation, the patient must wear a special bandage. It has two functions: fixing the auricle in the desired position and protection from external influences. Do not allow water to enter the ears. For 2 weeks it is not recommended to wash your hair, for 3-6 months – attend saunas and swimming pools.
External seams are removed after 7-10 days. After that, a special dressing is shown to prevent cartilage dislocation. Usually, it puts on during the night. To prevent the deformation of cartilage the exercising is not recommended. Jumping into the water is contraindicated. Full rehabilitation will take up to 6 months.
