Performance of this kind of procedure can supply our patients with a lot of positive sensations. Otoplasty is one the shortest procedures and consists in suitable incision behind the auricle, in order to expose the cartilage, and after thinning of the cartilage it is well modeled, and the non-soluble sutures are used. This moment of operation is very important, because it is important to model the cartilage well, so it looks semi-round from the front, without any traces of bending, looking like ear correction. In one word the ears have to look as natural as possible, so there are suspicions, that they were operated. After the procedure we use the non-absorbing sutures, behind the ear, on the site of incision, and we put the dressing for 7 days. After that period the sutures can be removed. The effect of otoplasty is very satisfactory and it lasts for the entire life. An attractive look and the cause of complexes removed will happen that we will be more self-assured, more opened. Short time of procedure, no need of hospitalization, no pain and quick recovery happen, that this operation is often performed not only in adults, but also in youth and children.
