One of the most common concerns of our patients about ear pinning surgery in Islamabad at Royal Cosmetic Surgery is “Will otoplasty leave scars?” As the main purpose of the surgery is to enhance the appearance of individuals, this is why, naturally, otoplasty patients are more cautious about the scarring, but with the right technique and excellent skills of a surgeon, minimal and invisible scarring is ensured.

In this blog, we will discuss scarring after otoplasty in Islamabad and how Royal Cosmetic Surgery is the best in this regard.

Understanding Otoplasty:

In Islamabad, ear reshaping or ear pinning surgery is also known as otoplasty, the primary aim of which is to improve the cosmetic appearance of ears by changing their shape, size, or position. This is the operation done mostly on the outer ear to repair asymmetrical ears, ears protruded away from the head, or the ear lobes.

Will Otoplasty Leave Scars?

Yes, otoplasty, just like any other procedure that requires making an incision, does leave a scar, but the scar in the case of this cosmetic surgery is almost 1 to 2 inches, which is placed behind and in the crease of the ear to make it invisible. The scars are permanent and do not go away completely, but within a year with proper care, it becomes almost invisible.

5 Facts About Otoplasty Scars You Should Know:

Incisions are placed behind the ear or in natural creases to keep scars out of sight.
Scar appearance depends on genetics, surgical technique, and aftercare.
Most otoplasty scars fade and become less visible with time.
Silicone gels or laser treatments can help improve scars.
An experienced cosmetic surgeon, such as Dr. Naveed Azhar, helps minimize scarring and improve results.

Best Scar Care Tips After Ear Surgery:

Clean the area gently as advised.
Use silicone gel or prescribed ointment daily.
Do not touch or pick the scars.
Keep scars away from direct sunlight.
Avoid pressure on the ears while sleeping.
Attend all follow-up visits.
Do not smoke during healing.
Follow all aftercare instructions strictly.

Otoplasty Techniques That Minimize Scarring:

Latest techniques offer surgeries that result in almost zero scarring. Here are some of the most modern techniques used at Royal Cosmetic Surgery to prevent scarring:

Incisionless Otoplasty:

In this method, our surgeons use an internal stitching method using a tiny needle, which helps in quick and scarless recovery.

Cartilage-Sparing Techniques:

The techniques reconstruct the ear with the help of internal sutures, and no cartilage is removed. This minimizes the need for large cuts and reduces the chances of visible scars.

Endoscopic-Assisted Otoplasty:

A tiny incision is made on one of the hairlines, and a small camera assists in conducting the surgery. This prevents the scars near the ear and makes them almost invisible.

Laser-Assisted Cartilage Reshaping:

This is a non-surgical, but more recent procedure that utilizes laser energy to soften and remodel ear cartilage. In some circumstances that are chosen, it can minimize or completely do away with incisions.

Our experts at RCS, in cases where an incision is a must, plan surgery in such a way that the cut is placed at the back and crease of the ear, which makes the scar almost invisible.
