Ears
Reshape prominent ears for a more subtle look
Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape and reposition the ears. This surgery is typically sought by individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their ears due to factors such as prominence (“lop ear deformity”), asymmetry, or congenital issues. Otoplasty aims to correct these by altering the size, shape, or positioning of the ears, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial profile.
Key Benefits of Ear Pinning
- Enhance Your Ears
Bring prominent ears closer to the head, attaining a more subtle and pleasing facial profile. - Improve Psychological Well-Being
Alleviate issues with ear appearance that can lead to low self-esteem, as well as teasing and bullying. - Give Your Ears a Natural Look
Correct issues with ear aesthetics that can arise from trauma or birth defects.
Persana Tip
Although the primary goal of otoplasty is to reduce an overly protruding ear, this procedure can sometimes be overdone, causing the ears to lay so flat that they appear stuck to the head, a condition referred to as “telephone pole deformity.” Precisely tailoring the aesthetic positioning during surgery is critical to achieving the best results.
Minimize the appearance of scars.
Scars form as part of the skin’s natural healing process after injury, surgery, or acne. During the healing phase, the body produces collagen fibers to repair the damaged skin, resulting in a scar.
Scars can heal in varying ways; some may blend seamlessly with the surrounding skin and have minimal visible impact, while others appear prominent and distinct due to size, location, and individual healing responses. Factors like the depth and severity of the injury, skin type, and genetics can influence scar formation as well. If the appearance of a scar is distressing, there are many treatments that a dermatologist or plastic surgeon can use to help reduce its visibility.
Key Benefits of Scar Treatments
- Make Scars Less Visible
Leverage techniques that can help minimize the appearance of scars and bring harmony to your skin. - Improve Function and Reduce Discomfort
Address scar-related issues such as restricted movement, pain, and sensitivity in the affected area. - Enhance Your Self-Image
Boost your well-being by addressing prominent scars that affect your confidence or social interactions.
Persana Tip
Prevention is key to minimizing the appearance of scars, especially for individuals with darker skin tones. To prevent visible scar formation, it is essential to maintain proper wound care, including keeping the area clean, moist, and protected from excessive sun exposure. Additionally, using silicone gel sheets or ointments and avoiding unnecessary pressure or movement of the affected area can significantly help to promote optimal healing.
