Bat ear surgery is a cosmetic procedure used to correct the issue of ears that protrude from the face. This surgery is a common procedure that contributes to improving the harmony of facial features.
Surgical Techniques:
The surgery is performed through an incision behind the ear with the goal of modifying the ear cartilage to restore its natural shape. The excess cartilage is either removed or reshaped to improve the appearance of the ear.
- Scientific Study: According to Koch and Kriss (2007), this surgery is highly effective in correcting bat ears, providing permanent results and a natural ear size.
- Advantages: The results are permanent and provide a harmonious appearance that blends with the facial features.
Non-Surgical Techniques:
These techniques involve using special medical tapes to reduce the prominence of the ears or using dermal fillers to achieve temporary improvement.
- Scientific Study: According to Konstantinovic (2010), these non-surgical techniques are a suitable option for those who do not wish to undergo surgery, though the results are temporary.
