Otoplasty changes ear prominence and shape. Timing in children depends on ear development, the child's wishes and emotional readiness; school-entry age alone does not decide it.
A scar behind the ear is often concealed, but complete disappearance and perfect symmetry cannot be promised. Risks include bleeding, infection, suture problems and recurrent prominence. Dressing, sleeping and sport instructions are individual; adults also need assessment of general health.
Bring your medicine and allergy list and previous results. Your history determines which tests are needed; there is no universal extensive test package. Preparation and medicine changes should follow specific instructions from the clinic.
Do not wait for a routine appointment if you have sudden hearing loss, breathing difficulty, new neurological symptoms or heavy bleeding; seek urgent assessment.
This information does not replace an individual consultation. Diagnosis and treatment depend on a medical assessment.
