Earfold is a new device that has been developed to treat flap ears. The Earfold is a very thin blade that is introduced with an applicator, which is attached to the cartilage and will give the shape to the ear so that it no longer looks like a detached ear as we are accustomed to see. The device consists of a blade that when attached to its applicator is a straight, smooth blade, but once inserted into the ear, under the skin, in contact with the cartilage is difficult, if not impossible, to remove. This new technique has some advantages: we can preview the result of the surgery using an external device so that the patient in front of a mirror can actually see how he will stay after the surgery; you only need a couple of minimal incisions on the skin of the ear, one on each side; it can be performed completely in the outpatient; no type of compression is needed; it does not give rise to the type of pain that gives a classic otoplasty. The procedure can be done with local anesthesia in local clinic, and once the procedure is performed patient can go home after half an hour. The only exception is with young children where another type of anesthesia is needed. Any plastic surgeon can put an Earfold but it is necessary to learn the technique that is very specific and needs training. Normally the surgery takes about 20 minutes and the patient goes home without any dressing or pain. This is an important difference with respect to the classic otoplasties in which one has to make an approach of the ears by the posterior part, to give a series of points in the cartilage with a previous weakening of that same cartilage. In these cases, the earfold can respond in almost all the cases, in a quick, effective and practically painless manner. It is never too important to point out that this kind of cosmetic treatments must be carried out by a recognized plastic and aesthetic surgeon with a few years of practice duly registered in the proper organisms, as, unfortunately, there are currently General practitioners, "esthetic" doctors, medical experts from other fields such as gynecologists, general surgeons, otorhinolaryngologists and others who venture into the world of plastic and aesthetic surgery.
Do not be in any doubt and before you decide to do any treatment / cosmetic surgery consult an accredited professional. Check Out our more article here related to : Cosmetic Surgery | Aesthetic Surgery | Breast-Implants & Plastic surgery
