Patients who have undergone Otoplasty and are not satisfied with the results obtained come to the consultation to correct those anomalies and undergo a secondary cosmetic ear surgery.
For secondary otoplasty it is necessary to wait 3 to 6 months, so that the postoperative swelling and the fibrosis caused by the first operation have completely disappeared.
The surgical plan of secondary otoplasty is similar to that of Primary Otoplasty, but taking even more caution and preventing all the possible factors that may have had an influence during the first operation, since the real state of the internal anatomical structures after the first operation and the exact maneuvers performed by the surgeon who operated previously are not known.
Secondary otoplasty can be of both ears and then it is bilateral. When only one of the ears presents alterations, the otoplasty is unilateral.
Secondary cosmetic ear surgery is performed with local anesthesia without the need for admission to the clinic. It is not painful, and the small discomforts are resolved with common analgesics and anti-inflammatories.
In the postoperative period hematomas may appear, but over the course of a few days the edema gradually and progressively subsides and after a week the ears have an almost normal appearance. Elastic bands must be worn to keep the ears immobilized, and in the correct position, also during the night since this will prevent all movements.
Secondary surgery of the ears has very good results and naturalness and harmony are achieved. Although we already know that the ears are asymmetrical and one may be higher than the other or one may be a little larger.
