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.

I had a nose surgery in February. They never left me unattended 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 😊.

1-I had a nose surgery, there was no pressure problem with the device that was attached, when the tampon was removed I could breathe 100% from both noses, now it is completely open 2-The girl had an ear surgery. She was constantly sick because of her ear and was using antibiotics. She also had hearing problems. A tube was inserted. She has not been sick since that day, we got over a few coughs without antibiotics for the first time. She could hear well even the day after the surgery. In the first measurements, it was said that half of her hearing problem was gone. Now we are waiting for the 3-month check-up. But we do not have any problems with hearing. Thank you very much

About 10 months ago, Dr. Deniz performed my nose surgery. I wanted to wait a while to comment. First of all, it was a difficult surgery for me to decide, because I was very afraid of the surgery. I made my decision by considering the comments here. The surgery process went better than I expected. I had no pain or bruising, but I had a lot of swelling due to my nose skin. My nose has recently gotten rid of the swelling and settled down. I went there mostly for aesthetic purposes, but now I can breathe much better. I was very pleased with both Dr. Deniz's interest and sincerity, and the healthy and beautiful result we got. I think those who are undecided and those who have fears like me can trust Dr. Deniz with peace of mind.

I have been having serious difficulties breathing for a long time due to nasal congestion. My nasal passages were almost completely blocked. As a result of my detailed research, Prof. Dr. I had the opportunity to meet Mehmet Deniz Yılmaz. From the first examination, his professionalism, knowledge and sincere approach gave me great confidence. My surgery was extremely successful. The discomforts I experienced due to polyps have completely disappeared. I can breathe easily now. I cannot thank the doctor and his team enough. I would like to thank each and every one of them for their care and attention during this process.Prof. Dr. I recommend Mehmet Deniz Yılmaz and his team wholeheartedly.Thank you, dear Doctor. Thank you very much 🙏🏻

When it comes to the teacher, he is the best in Antalya. How many places have I been to, how many doctors have I seen, what have I suffered over the years? Many doctors in Ankara, Istanbul, Antalya, none of them could even provide relief. May God bless my teacher Mustafa. We found him on the ground while looking for him in the sky. I recommend him to everyone with Meniere's disease.

My wife had apnea and snoring problems. Before Mustafa, other doctors said that about 5 different surgeries would need to be performed. We were worried and searched for another doctor. Looking at the comments here, we trusted Mustafa Hodja. Thank God, he said about 3 months ago that only closed nose surgery would be enough, and over time, the apnea would go away on its own. The surgery lasted 2.5 hours. My wife was discharged in the evening. There was no bruise or swelling on her face. She recovered within a week and returned to work. Meanwhile, his snoring decreased significantly and his apnea disappeared. Well done to our teacher. He is a very professional doctor and we recommend him to everyone.
