Otoplasty

Ear Pinning: Reduces the prominence of protruding ears by bringing them closer to the head.

Ear Augmentation: Suitable for patients with underdeveloped or misshapen ears, often using grafts for natural enhancements.

The Procedure with Dr. Furkan Haider

Otoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure performed under local or general anesthesia. During surgery:

Dr. Haider makes small incisions behind or within the natural folds of the ear.
He reshapes or removes cartilage and soft tissue as needed.
Incisions are carefully closed to minimize visible scarring.

The surgery takes about one to three hours, with patients returning home the same day. Dr. Haider and his team provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth experience and optimal results.
