Surgery Preparation

When preparing for an otoplasty or any surgery, there are several important steps to ensure the procedure goes smoothly and safely, minimizing any potential risks. Below is a comprehensive guide to preparing for ear surgery, specifically tailored for patients of Dr. Moujab Awad’s practice in Paris, though it can be generally applied with the guidance of any skilled surgeon.

  1. Medical Evaluation: A thorough medical examination is critical to evaluate your suitability for surgery. This may include a review of your medical history, a physical exam, and possibly preoperative testing.
  2. Discussion of Goals: Clearly communicate your aesthetic goals with Dr. Moujab Awad to ensure that both you and the surgeon have a mutual understanding of the desired outcomes and what is realistically achievable.

  3. Photographic Assessment: Photographs may be taken from different angles for before-and-after comparisons and for surgical planning.
  4. Smoking and Alcohol: If you smoke, you’ll be advised to stop well in advance of the surgery, as smoking can impede healing. Similarly, alcohol consumption should be reduced or eliminated.
  5. Nutrition: A well-balanced diet, possibly augmented with specific vitamins (if advised by the surgeon), can help support your body’s healing process. Hydration is also key before surgery.

The Surgery

  • The first step in otoplasty is administering anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. Depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s preferences, this could be local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
  • The surgeon makes incisions to access the cartilage of the ear. These incisions are typically made on the back of the ear where they can be hidden in the natural crease. In cases where incisions must be made on the front of the ear, they are usually made within its folds to minimize visible scarring.
  • Depending on the patient’s goals, the surgeon may remove cartilage or skin, reshape or trim the cartilage, and use stitches to hold the cartilage in place for the desired contour. In more complex cases, the surgeon may need to add tissue, which could be taken from another part of the patient’s body.
  • Once the desired shape is achieved, the surgeon will close the incisions with sutures. These may be dissolvable or may require removal during a follow-up visit.

Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery, aims to reshape, resize, or reposition the ears for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons. The specific techniques employed during otoplasty can vary widely depending on the goals of the surgery, the patient’s anatomy, and the surgeon’s expertise. Below is an overview of how the surgery might be performed, keeping in mind that Dr. Moujab Awad, like any skilled surgeon, would tailor the procedure to meet the individual needs of each patient.
