Cosmetic Ear Surgery

In most cases, cosmetic ear surgery does nothing more than attempt to enhance a person's appearance, confidence and self-esteem. The elective procedure is also referred to as Otoplasty. Basically, Otoplasty is designed to do one of two things: reduce the size of a person's ears, or pin the ears back so they don't protrude so far out from the head. One medical website describes the procedure in fairly basic terms. Most cosmetic ear surgeries are completed in one to two hours. Once the patient is sedated, the surgeon makes a small incision in the back of the ear. Then the surgeon sculpts the cartilage to reshape the ear. Stitches are used to pin the ear for enhanced appearance. Generally, only a small scar remains. And that mark usually fades away. Recovery from cosmetic ear surgery is typically brief. Children may be out of school for up to a week while they recover. But adults usually return to their normal activities within a few days following Otoplasty.

Most people consider cosmetic ear surgery to be a safe procedure, but like any medical operation there are a few risks to be considered. Most are not serious, but one can be more complicated than others. Although rare, hearing could be affected. But the major risk factors are infection, bleeding, bruising, and swelling. According to an online source that specializes in helping people find plastic surgeons, the majority of cosmetic ear surgery patients are children between the ages of four and fourteen. Apparently, the ears are completely grown by age four, and performing the surgery at an early age reduces the chances of teasing and embarrassment. But adults choose Otoplasty reshape large ears and stretched earlobes. Otoplasty may be a useful technique for some people. On the other hand, the procedure may be another way to avoid teaching or learning useful ways of dealing with potential adversity, ridicule, and stressful situations.

Once again, cosmetic ear surgery is an elective procedure so the costs and fees will be paid out of pocket or through financing options. Actual costs for the Otoplasty procedure will vary from doctor to doctor. Condition of the patient, length and difficulty of the operation, and the surgeon's experience are among some of the factors that will influence cost. Typically, according to most websites, Otoplasty will cost from around $2,000 to $5,000. Operating-room fees, anesthesia, follow-up visits, and medication are additional costs. The surgery may be performed in a hospital, free-standing surgical facility, or in a surgical suite located at the doctors office. Where the procedure is performed will also influence costs. Doing the initial research may keep costs down. Christians and others should stop and pause for a moment and consider the reasons for altering their God-given appearance. Cosmetic surgeons become artists reshaping a natural image. Now, teasing and harassment of people because of the way they look is a serious issue and problem. But they are more of societal problem then a self-image issue.

People who work in the cosmetic ear surgery industry like to use words like balanced, natural, and harmony to describe the end result of their work. Generally, they are attempting to improve on God's creation. It is sort of like cursing God's work, so Christians considering this type of cosmetic procedure should keep things in perspective. Balance and harmony are found in God's natural creation and in the love of others. They are not found in an image or appearance. "Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Greet one another with an holy kiss. All the saints salute you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen." (2 Corinthians 13: 11-14) True balance and harmony are found in God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible; they are not elements found at the end of a scalpel.

Since cosmetic ear surgery is an outpatient procedure, the patient will not be spending the night in the hospital. However, if complications do arise during surgery or recovery, the patient may be required to spend the night in the hospital for observation. Know the facts about Otoplasty surgery, possible complications, costs, and recovery before deciding to have the surgery. Then begin the process by consulting a cosmetic surgeon. According to medical experts, there are four important qualities to look for in a surgeon. First, ensure the physician is experienced. Experience produces positive results. Ask to see photographs of the surgeon's work. If the surgeon doesn't have hospital privileges, find out why he or she doesn't have them. Not having hospital privileges could mean the physician is not well respected or has a bad reputation in the community. Finally, the surgeon should provide courteous and personal attention. The doctor and his or her entire staff should treat the patient with respect and dignity. Don't just ask questions concerning Otoplasty surgery. Delve into the doctor's qualifications, history, and experience. Ask how many Otoplasty procedures the doctor has performed. If a child is having the surgery, make sure the doctor has performed the procedure on children. Also, verify that the surgeon is board certified to perform cosmetic ear surgery. And don't be afraid to ask any other questions that may arise during the process. Being well informed about the procedure helps a person know what questions to ask.
