Ear correction surgery

Depending on the problem we are facing, we choose the most appropriate technique, in order to meet the individual needs of each patient and provide the best results. In patients with prominent ears, where we do not have to decrease the ear size, we choose the new bloodless ear surgery technique, under local anesthesia only.

There we use the anterior scoring technique, in order to score the cartilage where it is necessary. Subsequently, we reposition the cartilage in the right anatomical position, thus deciding for the final position, we wish the ear to have. The cartilage will remain in its new position, anchored by very thin absorbable stitches, which will not be visible at the end of the procedure.

What is impressive about this technique is that the patient, during the procedure, can see in the mirror the proposed, new position of the ear. That way, he can contribute himself, to the final position that he wants his ear to have, before the procedure is over. Thus, he will be more confident about the result.

This technique, being minimally invasive, does not require taking time off from daily activities, no bandaging post – operatively and no stitches removal, as they are absorbable. There are no scars and marks, the patient may return to his work, the day after the procedure and the results will be permanent.

In Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinic, ear surgery is performed exclusively with minimally invasive surgical techniques and in the majority of cases under local anaesthesia.

Complications are practically nonexistent, when the procedure is done by an experienced surgeon, with the minimally invasive techniques, while any bruising or swelling which may appear, settles down gradually after the first week.

• The minimally invasive methods, we use in Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinic, the state of art equipment, the latest laser technology devices and the experience of Dr. Zografou, as an International Leading Expert, guarantee you an impressive result. Every patient is unique, and we use the most innovative techniques in our Clinic, in order to offer to our patients a perfect result, both aesthetically and functionally.
• The performance of otoplasty, with minimally invasive techniques, allows us to operate only under local anaesthesia, in the well-equipped operating rooms of our Clinic, so overnight stay is not required. This makes the whole procedure safer, quicker and with much less downtime for the patient. Also, it decreases the cost of the operation, as it excludes hospitalization bills, allowing us to perform hundreds of successful sessions each year, to patients who visit us from Greece and abroad.
