Otoplasty is the term used for the technique in Cosmetic Surgery to correct the problem of widely spaced or prominent ears. Protruding ears are the frequent object of consultation at Belliance, affecting both men and women; and even, at times, children. When the ears separate from the cranium they become too visible and a very common deformity then appears. This is very poorly accepted socially. The size of the ear is not as important as the degree of separation from the cranium; this effect is what makes them so visible or unsuitable. This alteration is associated in many cases with labour related and social problems, which can be avoided by means of a simple treatment. Several techniques have been designed to correct separated ears. The team of Plastic Surgeons at Belliance select the safest procedure of otoplasty and the one most suitable to each case. The anatomy and separation of the ears is determined by the cartilage situated in the inner ear.The operation consists in modifying the shape of the cartilage and securing it by means of a sticking process. Following the correction of the problem the person undergoes a complete transformation, both personal and social. Cosmetic equilibrium and Belliance once again become one.
