Regenerative Otoplasty
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting and improving the appearance of the ear, offering a personalized solution to harmonize facial features. This procedure is particularly indicated for treating conditions like prominent ears (known as "protruding ears"), oversized ears, or damaged lobes, whether congenital or acquired. The technique involves precise cartilage remodeling through discrete incisions, strategically positioned to remain invisible within the ear's natural contours. Although otoplasty may seem simple, it's a highly technical procedure requiring deep knowledge of auricular anatomy and absolute precision in cartilage remodeling. That's why it's essential to rely on a surgeon with proven experience, capable of ensuring natural, symmetric, and lasting results while minimizing risks and ensuring optimal recovery.

"n otoplasty, a particularly effective and non-traumatic technique has been developed and presented at an international congress - the Pink Needle Otoplastic - which allows bandages removal and hair washing after just 48 hours."

About the Treatment
Youth Otoplasty
Youth otoplasty is a procedure that can significantly impact not only physical appearance but also self-esteem and psychological well-being. Prominent ears, commonly called "protruding ears," often cause insecurities and can become a source of social discomfort, especially during school age or adolescence, when social pressure and criticism can deeply affect self-perception. This procedure, also indicated for younger patients when ears have completed most of their development, allows correction of aesthetic imperfections through precise cartilage remodeling.
Lobe Rejuvenation
Over time, ear lobes can lose elasticity and volume, appearing larger, elongated, or damaged, often due to earring weight or tears. This aging affects facial harmony, giving a less youthful appearance. Treatment with Lipogems is an advanced solution using processed autologous fat to restore volume, improve elasticity, and stimulate tissue regeneration, giving lobes a full and natural appearance. For particularly elongated or damaged lobes, Lipogems can be combined with remodeling surgery to reduce excess tissue and restore natural shape. These treatments, performed under local anesthesia with reduced recovery times, guarantee lasting and harmonious results. At Image Regenerative Clinic, specialized surgeons work with precision to enhance lobes, restoring a polished and youthful appearance to the face.
The Pink Needle Otoplastic
The Pink Needle is a minimally invasive technique used in some otoplasty procedures to improve ear remodeling without traditional surgical incisions. This methodology uses special needles, often called "rose" or "pink" for their delicate design, allowing precise and safe repositioning and modeling of auricular cartilage. Thanks to Pink Needle, it's possible to correct small imperfections or moderate ear prominence without visible scars. The technique is particularly appreciated for its less invasive approach, quick recovery times, and ability to achieve natural results. However, it's not indicated for all patients and requires accurate evaluation to establish feasibility based on specific anatomical needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is recovery and does otoplasty leave visible scars?
Recovery is quick, with most patients resuming daily activities within a few days. Wearing a protective band for 2-4 weeks is recommended to support remodeling and protect the operated area. Incisions are discreetly placed behind the ear or in natural contours, making scars practically invisible.
How long after otoplasty can I wash and cut my hair?
After the first post-operative check-up, you can wash and cut your hair without issues, as the scars remain hidden behind the ear.
Can otoplasty only correct protruding ears?
No, otoplasty is also indicated for correcting elongated lobes, asymmetric ears, congenital malformations, or trauma signs, offering both aesthetic and functional solutions.
