DR. Emrah Emre
Otoplasti
Otoplasty is a plastic surgery performed to correct the shape and position of the ears. It is usually performed when the ears are too prominent outwards. The surgery is performed to reshape the ear cartilage and give the ears a more natural appearance. Performed under local or general anesthesia, otoplasty increases the self-confidence of patients and provides a more aesthetic appearance.

Otoplasty at a glance
Otoplasty sets prominent ears closer to the head and reshapes under-developed ear folds. Dr. İsmet Emrah Emre performs it for adults in the clinic under local anaesthesia in about 60 minutes; children have general anaesthesia. The incision is behind the ear, so the scar is hidden. The result is permanent.
