This remains in place for 1 to 7 days. It reduces swelling and the risk of bruising.  <\/p>\n<h4>Threads<\/h4>\n<p>We remove the stitches behind the ear after approx. 2 weeks, in front of the ear after one week at a check-up appointment at the Yuveo Clinic in D\u00fcsseldorf.<\/p>\n<h4>Headband<\/h4>\n<p>A headband should be worn 24 hours a day for 2 weeks following ear correction. After that, wearing it at night is sufficient for a further 3 to 4 weeks. A little more rigor is required for children. Wearing a cap is an advantage here, at least for smaller children, because it does not slip so easily.   <\/p>\n<h4>Sport<\/h4>\n<p>In order not to jeopardize the result of the ear correction, we recommend that you avoid sports that may cause bruising of the ear for 6 to 12 weeks. This includes team sports and ball sports. <\/p>\n<h4>Inner threads<\/h4>\n<p>Even if the healing after the ear correction is inconspicuous, the inner stitches can sometimes show through the skin.

Colloquially, the term <strong>suture method\\\/folding technique<\\\/strong> is often used for the <strong>minimally invasive placement of the ears<\\\/strong>, which requires no or very small skin incisions. These methods are therefore scarless or <strong>low-scar<\\\/strong>.  <\\\/p>\\n<h4>Special features of the method<\\\/h4>\\n<ul>\\n<li>The <strong>swelling phase<\\\/strong> is shorter than with classic ear correction.<\\\/li>\\n<li>As a rule, there is considerably <strong>less pain<\\\/strong>.<\\\/li>\\n<li>Removing stitches is <strong>less painful<\\\/strong> or not necessary at all with the suture method, as the incisions are only treated with a single button suture or remain covered with a plaster.<\\\/li>\\n<li>Depending on the suture technique used, there are no scars or only practically invisible <strong>mini-scars<\\\/strong>.<\\\/li>\\n<li>For many patients who generally shy away from surgery or anesthesia in the sense of twilight sleep or even anesthesia, our D\\u00fcsseldorf team has noticed a better acceptance of the suture technique, which can be performed<strong> under local anesthesia<\\\/strong>.<\\\/li>\\n<li>Nevertheless, the <strong>complication rate<\\\/strong> is comparable to the open technique.<\\\/li>\\n<\\\/ul>\\n\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How can our D\\u00fcsseldorf team create ears without surgery?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Unfortunately, only a few parents and midwives are aware that <strong>protruding ears can be created without surgery<\\\/strong>!<\\\/p>\\n<p>However, this only works <strong>shortly after birth<\\\/strong>, as the ear cartilage is still soft and easy to shape in the first few days. In this phase, anyone can put on the baby&#8217;s ears without surgical training. <\\\/p>\\n<p><strong>Recipe<\\\/strong>: Take an adhesive plaster and compresses or other soft material and fix the ears in the desired position. This form of splinting should be maintained for 4 to 6 weeks. <\\\/p>\\n<p>The reason for the good deformability of the ear cartilage is attributed to the <strong>maternal estrogen<\\\/strong> (female sex hormone) still present in the infant&#8217;s body.<\\\/p>\\n\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the follow-up treatment after ear pinning at our clinic in D\\u00fcsseldorf?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<h4>Association  <\\\/h4>\\n<p>After an ear correction, the ears are molded with absorbent cotton, for example, and enclosed under an initially quite large ear bandage. This remains in place for 1 to 7 days. It reduces swelling and the risk of bruising.  <\\\/p>\\n<h4>Threads<\\\/h4>\\n<p>We remove the stitches behind the ear after approx. 2 weeks, in front of the ear after one week at a check-up appointment at the Yuveo Clinic in D\\u00fcsseldorf.<\\\/p>\\n<h4>Headband<\\\/h4>\\n<p>A headband should be worn 24 hours a day for 2 weeks following ear correction. After that, wearing it at night is sufficient for a further 3 to 4 weeks. A little more rigor is required for children. Wearing a cap is an advantage here, at least for smaller children, because it does not slip so easily.   <\\\/p>\\n<h4>Sport<\\\/h4>\\n<p>In order not to jeopardize the result of the ear correction, we recommend that you avoid sports that may cause bruising of the ear for 6 to 12 weeks. This includes team sports and ball sports. <\\\/p>\\n<h4>Inner threads<\\\/h4>\\n<p>Even if the healing after the ear correction is inconspicuous, the inner stitches can sometimes show through the skin. The skin may also be punctured. If these stitches cause discomfort, we can remove them without any problems.  <\\\/p>\\n<p>If they are removed too soon after ear correction, a relapse of the protruding ears can be expected.<\\\/p>\\n\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does the health insurance company cover the costs for the creation of protruding ears?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Whether the health insurance company will cover the costs of ear pinning depends mostly on the child&#8217;s <strong>age<\\\/strong>. There are no major problems in this regard <strong>until the child starts school<\\\/strong>.<\\\/p>\\n<p>After that, however, reimbursement becomes increasingly difficult. Does a child who has survived the first few years of school &#8220;unscathed&#8221; no longer need such an operation? <\\\/p>\\n<p>In <strong>adulthood<\\\/strong>, the assumption of costs is fairly hopeless.
