Ear Correction Overview The aim of prominent ear surgery is to improve the appearance and reduce the prominence of ears in both adults and children, and to improve the shape of some ears in both adults and children. Frequently Asked Questions • What does the operation involve? • What type of anaesthetic is used? How many times should I see Mr • Banwell before the operation? • What happens after the operation? • What are the risks? • What costs are involved? Please contact Mr Banwell’s office, and his staff can answer any questions you may have and can arrange for a quote and information regarding the procedure to be sent to you. What does the operation involve? The operation involves an incision behind the back of the ear and some sutures to hold the ears back in place. Sometimes manipulation of cartilage needs to be performed to optimise long term results. It is important to have realistic expectations and Mr Banwell will discuss these with you. What type of anaesthetic is used? Mr Banwell recommends a general anaesthetic undertaken by a specialist anaesthetist. Children have this done as an inpatient with a one night’s stay in hospital, while adults may have it performed as a day patient. How many times should I see Mr Banwell before the operation? Generally we like to see all patients at least twice although a consultation fee will only be charged for the first visit. Mr Banwell will discuss with you exactly what your aims and expectations are regarding possible surgery. He will also talk to you about how realistic these aims are. Patients are encouraged to see Mr Banwell as many times as they require prior to surgery so that he can fully understand what you would like to achieve out of the surgery and also so that you are fully informed of what the procedure involves and the potential risks. |
