In the following, we describe the most important surgical consequences and complications that can occur during ear pinning:<\/p>\n
Moderate swelling of the ear may occur after ear pinning. Decongestant measures are helpful to minimize this. Cooling<\/strong> and, in particular, elevation of the upper body<\/strong> during sleep and appropriate decongestant medication are very helpful. <\/p>\n The swelling described above after ear placement is usually accompanied by bloodshot skin. A real bruise, which lies under the subcutis, is very rare<\/strong>, especially with a well-fitting pressure bandage. <\/p>\n Our D\u00fcsseldorf team can prevent this by carefully stopping the bleeding<\/strong> and applying compression.<\/p>\n A worsening of the skin sensation may occur. However, this is usually only temporary. If the bandage is too tight, it can also trigger a skin sensitivity disorder. <\/p>\n Ulcerated, bulging scars (or benign growths) are rare<\/strong> in the ear area. These can be treated with special ointments and possibly cortisone injections, among other things. If there is a family history of severe scarring, serious consideration must be given to whether ear pinning should be performed at all, depending on the severity. <\/p>\n Infections are extremely rare<\/strong> after ear pinning. If an infection is not treated in time, it can spread to the ear cartilage = chondritis. <\/p>\n At the Yuveo Clinic D\u00fcsseldorf, we take great care to protect the suture during ear placement. Even a small bump can tear the fine sutures. This also applies to the invisible cartilage sutures. <\/p>\n It is therefore safer to wear a headband<\/strong> for a few weeks for protection or a cap for children. The sutures are particularly easy to destroy, especially during ear reduction<\/a>, and should therefore be well protected. <\/p>\n It is important that we fully understand your expectations of the operation during the consultation and assess its feasibility. If there is dissatisfaction for surgical reasons or due to complications that have arisen, this usually means a repeat ear correction<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the following, we describe the most important surgical consequences and complications that can occur during ear pinning: Swelling Moderate swelling of the ear may occur after ear pinning.
