Ear flap is a common ear deformity, and most of it is congenital. In order to avoid affecting patients' self-confidence, it is suggested to choose ear flap correction surgery to improve. Generally speaking, the auricle is basically developed after 6 years old. At this time, the ear can be corrected. However, many people are afraid of complications in ear correction surgery, so they dare not do it easily. So, are there any complications in ear flap plastic surgery?

Experts say that in fact, the structure of auricle tissue is not complicated, but if it involves shape correction, it is a very difficult problem. Generally speaking, if you don't choose a regular hospital or experienced experts during the operation, it is easy to have some complications after the operation, mainly in the following aspects:

1. Pain: If the pain is severe after plastic surgery, there is a risk of hematoma or infection. If you have a headache after operation, it may be caused by too tight dressing, so you should bandage it again.

2, edema: there may be mild edema after ear plastic surgery, don't worry, it will disappear naturally after a few months.

3, skin necrosis: the blood supply of the auricle is very rich, generally does not occur auricle skin necrosis, but if the peeling surface is too wide in ear plastic surgery, or the dressing is too tight after surgery, it is likely to lead to skin necrosis.

4. Hematoma: Hematoma after plastic surgery may lead to auricle cartilage necrosis with serious consequences. In order to prevent this from happening, we must stop bleeding carefully during ear plastic surgery and bandage it firmly after operation. If bleeding is found in the wound after operation, immediately open the dressing, carefully check and stop bleeding again.

5, infection: Under normal circumstances, as long as there is no hematoma, there will be no infection. If it is infected, it should be drained and wet packed with antibiotic gauze.

6. External auditory canal stenosis: If the position of temporomandibular joint is too high after operation or the width of external auditory canal is excessively changed during operation, external auditory canal stenosis will occur.

Are plastic earmuffs safe? In order to prevent the above complications, it is necessary to make a comprehensive analysis of the auricle shape before plastic surgery, formulate a suitable design scheme, closely observe it during surgery and follow up regularly after surgery. If the patient has had complications of ear flap plastic surgery, it can be corrected again in the second year after operation.
