What is Cosmetic Ear Surgery?
Cosmetic ear surgery is a procedure to reshape, resize, or reposition the ear. It is typically performed to correct ear deformities commonly known as prominent ears.
Who Can Have Cosmetic Ear Surgery?
This surgery is generally suitable for children over the age of 5, as well as teenagers and adults. By this age, the ears are fully developed, making it an appropriate time for surgical intervention.
How is the Surgery Performed?
The surgery is usually done under local anesthesia, though general anesthesia may be preferred for children. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ear and reshapes the cartilage to reposition the ear. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours.
What is the Recovery Process Like?
Patients can usually return home the same day after surgery. The ears are bandaged for the first few days, and mild swelling, bruising, and pain may occur but usually subside within a few weeks. Complete recovery generally takes 4-6 weeks.
Will There Be Scars After Surgery?
Since incisions are usually made behind the ear, scars are well-hidden and become less noticeable over time. For most patients, the scars are nearly invisible.
What Are the Risks of Surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, cosmetic ear surgery has some risks, including infection, bleeding, reactions to anesthesia, and over-correction of the cartilage. However, these risks can be minimized by an experienced surgeon.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes, the results of cosmetic ear surgery are usually permanent. The ears remain in their new position, and it is not expected that they will return to their original shape.
What Should Be Avoided After Cosmetic Ear Surgery?
For the first few weeks post-surgery, patients should avoid physical activities, avoid putting pressure on the ears, and wear a protective bandage. It is essential to follow all instructions given by the doctor.
What is the Cost of the Surgery?
The cost varies depending on the surgeon’s experience, the hospital where the surgery is performed, and the complexity of the procedure. Generally, insurance does not cover cosmetic surgeries, so the expenses are typically borne by the patient.
What if the Patient is Not Satisfied with the Results?
If the patient is not satisfied with the results, revision surgery may be an option. However, this is rare and is generally performed 6-12 months after the initial surgery.
We came from Almaty on vacation, and my son started having ear pain from the very first day. They recommended drops and medications, but nothing helped. We stumbled across a doctor online and decided to take a chance. She turned out to be wonderful, and after the first dose of medication, my son felt better. Within a week, there was no trace of the infection. Special thanks to the translator for her care, understanding, and professionalism.
I was suffering from empty nose syndrome. For those who don't know, I should say that almost all of my nasal tissue was removed. It is a very bad disease. I went to 100 ENT doctors in Istanbul and they couldn't find a solution. Finally, I found Deniz Hoca, who is an expert in this field, and he took cartilage from my rib and performed the surgery and I got better. Thank you very much for everything.
I had a tonsillectomy performed by our doctor, Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz. The surgery went smoothly, and although it's said to be more difficult for adults, I recovered very quickly. I'm so glad I chose Mustafa.
Hello, they told me that my parotid gland needed to be removed. I went to so many doctors that I finally decided on Dr. Mustafa. I am glad I chose Dr. Mustafa. You do not need to look for a doctor, you can choose my doctor with peace of mind without any worries.
I had a nose surgery 9 months ago by Mustafa Deniz Hoca. Both he and his team are always in touch with you before and after the surgery and provide detailed answers to questions. I am very pleased with my nose in terms of aesthetic appearance and health. Thank you and your entire team for everything.
First of all, I would like to thank my instructor Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz for his efforts. I had a nose surgery about 4 months ago. Like everyone else, I had the opportunity to research and compare the videos taken by many people who had this surgery and the perspectives of experts in their field on nose surgeries. I am very happy that I made the right decision and had surgery with my instructor Mustafa. I sincerely recommend my instructor Mustafa to everyone who wants to breathe both aesthetically and healthily and has problems.
I had a nose surgery in February. They never failed to show interest from the moment I entered the clinic until the last moment. No one even understands that I had plastic surgery. Mr. Deniz is one of the best in his field. I recommend it to everyone.
I had a nose surgery 3.5 months ago. The surgery and recovery process went great. There are a few things you should pay attention to after the surgery, they don't affect your quality of life too much. The doctor makes you feel very comfortable about that because it's not as complicated as you think. Other than that, I can breathe easily now, which is the most important thing. Also, Assistant Ayşegül Hanım gets back to you directly at any time of the day, no matter how long it has been since the surgery, if you have any questions. I'm very happy that I chose the right doctor.
I met Dr. Deniz upon the recommendation of another patient. He performed my ear surgery approximately 6 months ago with the diagnosis of Cholestatum. His care and follow-up of his patient both before and after the surgery for 6 months is commendable. I would also like to thank Dr. Deniz for his confidence in his patient and his friendly approach. I am in a much better position after the surgery, both in terms of hearing and risk of infection. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz and his team.
I went to my dear teacher Deniz because of my breathing difficulties. He and his team were very cheerful and caring. My surgery was very successful and our doctor Deniz and his team were always caring throughout the process. We definitely recommend them, they are very knowledgeable, you will never regret it.
I had been experiencing a constant runny nose for a while. I decided to go to a private ENT specialist and I took a very good step. My doctor told me I had vasomotor rhinitis, which I had never heard of before. They had always given me allergy medication and sent me there. Mustafa Deniz made me feel very comfortable with the nasal wash he recommended. I had been using allergy medication unnecessarily for so long. You can go with peace of mind 😊.
I had a nose surgery 6 months ago. I am very pleased with the result. Mr. Deniz is a successful doctor in his field. You can choose him with peace of mind.
