Went to see a gynae, got promised to get my results in 2 weeks (which is already long), never got my test results back even after I called because there was always some excuse. Yet they wasted no time

I get that they’re a private business - but you’d think they’d care more about people’s lives because of the type of business they’re in. Be very careful if you decide to take a loved one to

The only reason why this isn't getting 5 stars is due to the parking. Since I've started going there seem to be more doctors and so parking has become an issue especially if you park in the narrow bay

What you need to know about Otoplasty in Cape Town

Otoplasty, also referred to as cosmetic ear surgery, is a type of cosmetic procedure to change the size, shape, or position of the ear. It is performed on the visible part of the outer ear, called auricle. Some people choose to have the surgery to correct odd-shaped ears due to an injury or birth defect. Others have it because they are concerned with how their ears protrude too far from their head. Otoplasty can be performed at any age after the ears have reached their full size, generally after age 5. In some cases, the surgery may be done as early as age 3.

There are several types of otoplasty. The following are the most common:

Ear pinning draws the ears closer to the head. It is usually done on people whose ears stick out too far from their head.
Ear augmentation is ideal for individuals whose ears are small or have not completely developed. This type of otoplasty can increase the size of the outer ear.
Ear reduction is usually done on people with macrotia, which is a condition when the ears are larger than normal. Otoplasty can reduce the size of the ears.

What's the Recovery Time for Otoplasty Procedures in Cape Town?

The recovery period may vary from one person to another. You may experience numbness for several weeks, and mild bruising for about 2 weeks. For several months, your ears may feel stiff and sore.

You should be able to go back to work and resume your normal activities, including exercise, within one to two weeks after surgery. Physical contact sports, such as rugby, football, or judo, should be avoided for at least 3 months. You should also avoid swimming for up to 8 weeks following your otoplasty.

What's the Success Rate of Otoplasty Procedures in Cape Town?

Otoplasty is a safe and effective procedure, with high satisfaction rates. More than 90% of people who had the procedure claimed to be extremely happy with the results. Note that it may take some time for the result to be fully visible.

While it is a safe procedure, you still need to be aware of possible risks and complications that otoplasty carries. These include bleeding, hematoma formation, infection of the skin, infection of the cartilage of the ear, permanent or temporary numbness around the affected area, scar or keloid formation, unfavorable results, prolonged pain, narrowing of the external ear canal, impaired healing, changes in skin sensation, asymmetry, and overcorrection.
