Hair Transplant

Face

Hair Transplant in Nagpur is indicated in hereditary cases of hair loss and androgenetic baldness, which occur in many men and in some women.

Androgenetic baldness or alopecia is a condition that affects more men and is related to sex hormones, mainly testosterone. Hair transplantation is the surgical treatment of baldness. In this plastic surgery, hairs, usually from the back of the scalp (donor area), are transplanted in an area where there has been total or partial loss of hair (recipient area).

Modern baldness surgery aims to obtain a more aesthetic and natural result. The dreaded “doll hair” look no longer occurs. Among the precautions taken, we can mention:

(1) use of broken lines in tracing the anterior part of the bald area,

(2) capillary complementation of the sides of the head,

(3) use of fine and delicate follicular units,

(4) distribution of follicular units very close together in the anterior line of the bald area,

(5) maintenance of the natural direction of hair growth.

This procedure requires a specialized team, which is divided into a group to dissect the follicular units and another to implant them.

During the surgery, thousands of hairs are transplanted. The hair used is always the patient’s own. In more extensive baldness, complete hair restoration is impossible, as the number of follicular units obtained from the donor area is insufficient to cover the entire bald area. However, strategically distributing the follicular units associated with new hair transplant sessions (minimum of 8 months between surgery) helps to achieve a more satisfactory result.

Hair transplant in Nagpur: FUT x FUE

The Strip technique or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is the classic hair transplant technique and remains the most performed. Another technique used for hair transplantation is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), in which an incision is not made to remove a strip of tissue in the donor area. In this way, there is no linear scar on the scalp. In FUE, follicular units (FUs) are removed through small round incisions around them (less than 1 mm). In this process, respect for the direction of the hairs’ birth is essential to avoid their transection.

FUE is subdivided into simple and robotic (Robotic FUE). In simple FUE, follicular units (FUs) are extracted using a micropunch (a device with a small round cutting blade), while in robotic FUE, these units are removed by a machine consisting of a robotic arm, controlled by sophisticated software. In this case, a program uses a laser to scan the patient’s donor area and identify the FUs to be extracted. It is up to the doctor to activate the extraction process of these units, performed by the machine. The robot needs to be calibrated and constantly supervised. In both simple FUE and robotic FUE, the extracted follicular units are separated and transplanted as in the classic technique, that is, by the surgeon with the help of his team.

Surgical technique

• Marking of a long strip of scalp on the back of the head (spindle about 1 to 1.5 cm wide, going from one ear to the other), full of more resistant hair strands, which do not fall out over time ( donor area).

• Marking the bald area that will receive the hair strands (receiving area).

• Antisepsis + anesthesia.

• Incision + resection of the scalp strip.

• Review of bleeding and closure of the donor area.

• Careful dissection under magnifying glasses or microscopes to remove grafts of wires with their roots intact (follicular units).

• Transplantation of the follicular units thread by thread in the desired area (recipient area), through the use of needles attached to a scalpel (thread by thread transplantation).

• In the FUE technique, the follicular units are removed from the donor area through small rounded incisions around them (less than 1 mm), without removing the scalp band. In some cases, you can associate the FUT technique with the FUE.

Postoperative Guidelines

The patient can return to their activities the next day. Dressings will not be used. The recovery will be smooth and the postoperative period painless, in most cases. Care to wash the head and comb the hair in the early postoperative period will be necessary. Postural care and lymphatic drainage will allow the swelling to absorb in the first week.

Guidelines For Hair transplant in Nagpur

Dressings will not be used. There will usually be no pain after the surgery.
Avoid driving in the first 3 days after surgery.
After discharge, it will be important to rest in bed or in a reclining chair. When lying down, keep the headboard elevated 30º for 5 days. Sleep without pressing the operated areas against the bed.
The day after discharge, you will be able to take a full-body bath, even washing the operated areas, without rubbing them, using the prescribed soap. Carefully wash operative wounds (areas with stitches). Never use strong jet showers in the operated area. Complete the bath with normal soap.
Always have a separate clean face towel to dry the operated area and a regular towel to dry the rest of the body. In the operated area, press lightly when drying and do not rub. Care will also be needed when combing your hair.
From the 1st postoperative day, there will be no need for bed rest. Return to your normal activities, respecting the aforementioned limits.
Swelling (edema) in the operated areas is likely to occur, which will disappear over time. The swelling may go down in the first 4 days, reaching the eyelids. This is normal and should not be considered a problem. Its resolution can be accelerated with lymphatic drainage sessions.
There will be formation of crusts next to the implants, which should not be removed under any circumstances. Gradually they will fall out on their own (about 10 to 12 days), leaving the wires integrated.
Sun exposure should be avoided for the first 30 days after surgery. The use of caps or hats is recommended. The use of sunscreen is also advisable.
More intense physical activities should only be resumed 3 months after surgery (examples: swimming, running, weight training, ball sports).
Up to about 2 months, the transplanted hairs will fall out, and will definitely grow back a few weeks later (at about 3 months). It is a natural anxiety phase that will be circumvented with the knowledge of the evolutionary information of baldness surgery.
Normally, we recommend the use of some products that stimulate hair growth and all this will be guided by the recipes.
You must return to the doctor’s office regularly, as requested, for the removal of the stitches and evaluation of the evolution of the surgery.
After removing the stitches, start massaging the scars with the prescribed oil. In some cases, special care for the scars will be necessary.
The outcome of your surgery will depend a lot on following these guidelines correctly. Any questions, contact plastic surgeon in Nagpur.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What is the indication for hair transplant?

The most common indication for hair transplantation is in hereditary cases of hair loss (androgenetic baldness), which occurs in many men and some women. Hair transplant in Nagpur can also be indicated in the reconstruction of the “hair foot” or sideburn after a facelift ( face rejuvenation ), in increasing the density of the beard (beard transplant ), in the correction of sparse or failed eyebrows ( eyebrow transplantation). ) and in the camouflage of scars and faults in the scalp ( head and neck reconstruction ). It is important to note that some types of hair failure are clinically treated (examples: alopecia areata or alopecia caused by fungi).

What is the recommended age?

Normally, the recommended age is above 18 years. Generally, patients who seek this type of procedure are already adults.

What type of anesthesia is used in hair transplant in Nagpur?

Local anesthesia associated with sedation is the most used, but the surgery can also be performed under general anesthesia.

How long is the surgery?

The hair transplant in Nagpur performed according to the classic technique, lasts about 5 to 6 hours. With the FUE technique, the procedure can last up to 6 hours.

What is the length of stay?

The hospital stay is 8 to 12 hours. Usually, the patient is released on the same day.

When will stitches be withdrawn?

In the classic technique (FUT), the removal of the stitches from the donor area is performed 12 to 14 days after the surgery. In the FUE technique there is no need for stitches.

Does hair transplant have risks?

Postoperative complications are rare. Among them we can mention: hematoma, infection, scar alterations, etc.

How long does it take to get the expected result?

In the classic technique, the scar from the donor area is hidden between the hairs and is usually thin. The transplanted wires will fall out in a period of 30 days and then grow back after 2 to 3 months. The definitive result is observed from 6 to 8 months. The new transplanted hairs will not suffer hormonal influence.

Double Chin

Face

The submental fat, or double chin, is the accumulation of unwanted fat, under the chin, between the chin and neck.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF THE DOUBLE CHIN?

The submental fat or double chin usually appears after the age of 35 or 40, when the skin begins to become flaccid due to aging but can appear at any age due to a marked weight loss or genetic cause.

WHO HAS INDICATION TO TREAT THE DOUBLE CHIN?

Anyone who has an unwanted accumulation of fat under the chin, may be a candidate for a treatment for the submental fat or double chin.

HOW DOES DOUBLE CHIN TREAT?

In fact, there are several ways to treat the submental fat or double chin. The choice of treatment should be made after careful examination, in consultation, with your doctor. Some treatments can be performed in the office, such as radio frequency.

The traditional way to treat double chin is liposuction. This technique is the most effective when we are in the presence of a large accumulation of fat.

WHAT ARE THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF DOUBLE CHIN TREATMENT?

In fact, the most frequent adverse effects of treatment of the submental fat or double chin with injections or with liposuction are transient (transient) and disappear spontaneously. The most frequent are ecchymosis (bruising) and edema (“swelling”). They often disappear between 2 and 3 weeks.

An unwanted effect of liposuction is the scar. Most people who wish to remove the submental fat or double chin prefer the existence of a scar, than to live with an unaesthetic submental fat.

In fact, the scar to treat the submental fat is hidden under the chin and is hardly visible by other people. In addition, the scars become less noticeable over time. Your Plastic Surgeon will be able to advise you on how best to treat your scars.

WHAT IS THE RESULT AFTER THE TREATMENT OF DOUBLE CHIN?

The treatment of the double chin aims to eliminate the unwanted and unaesthetic fat that is accumulated in the underpart of the chin, creating an angle between the chin and neck that is well defined, improving the appearance of the entire neck and also improving the self-esteem of those who undergo treatment.

WHAT CARE AFTER THE TREATMENT OF DOUBLE CHIN?

When treatment is done with liposuction, usually the patient is discharged on the same day and can recover in the comfort of his home. With the other treatment modalities, which are performed in the office, the patient returns home immediately after treatment.

We advise the application of local ice for 48 hours, to reduce swelling, the use of a compressive band, during the period of 1 month and also a diet without very hard foods that require a great effort to chew, for 1 or 2 days.

Whenever possible, and especially after liposuction, we recommend manual lymphatic drainage to speed up recovery, improve comfort and decrease edema associated with surgery.

WHEN CAN THE ACTIVITY / DAILY ROUTINE AFTER TREATMENT BE RESUMED?

Recovery is very fast, with any of the treatment modalities.

In general, after treatment with injections that dissolve fat, return to work and the routine of daily life is immediate.

Therefore, after liposuction of the double chin, most people are able to do any activity after 2 or 3 days. A longer interval (1 month) is recommended before starting over with the most intense physical exercise.

Your Plastic Surgeon will be able to advise you on the most appropriate way to reintegrate your routine.

WILL I GET BETTER AFTER TREATING THE JITT?

The treatment of double chin is an intervention that aims to improve physical appearance and also strengthen self-esteem.

However, your new image will not change, by itself, all other areas of your life (professional, family, social), so it is essential to have this awareness.

In fact, emotional balance is indispensable to undergo surgical intervention or treatment, especially if it is aesthetic in nature.

IS DOUBLE CHIN TREATMENT SAFE?

Like any treatment or surgery, the treatment of the submental fat or double chin is not without risks.

Thus, the first step is to consult a Plastic Surgeon, who is well experienced.

In addition, it is important to choose a clinic with adequate environment for consultation and surgery. You should also choose the appropriate time to perform the procedure.

You should also talk openly with your doctor, ask all questions, clarify your goals and expectations, and listen to the possible results, the necessary postoperative care, and any complications.

WHAT IS THE PRICE OF TREATMENT TO DOUBLE CHIN?

With regard to the treatment of papacy, it depends on each case. Thus, to give you a reference price that is as close to your case as possible, report your problem to Dr. Bhupendra Gaidhane through our Contact Form.

Facial Trauma

Face

No other part of the body is as evident, unique or aesthetically significant as the face. For many people, Facial Trauma brings self-image and self-esteem issues to the fore, so I treat injuries in this area with great care and attention. Unfortunately, in certain cases some degree of scarring is unavoidable, but we do our best to minimize the visual impact of facial injuries and the surgeries required to treat them.

The main point is accident prevention. We must never forget to wear a seat belt, helmet and all possible protective equipment. The use of adequate protective equipment in sports and compliance with safety standards at work are other effective preventive measures. And finally, don’t talk on your cell phone while driving.

What is Facial Trauma?

Facial Traumas are considered all traumas in the face region, being superficial (skin, fat, muscles), deep
(bones, nerves and great vessels) or complex (eyes, nose, brain, airway).

What are the main causes of Facial Trauma?

The most frequent cause of fractures and serious facial injuries is an automobile accident. Other causes include sports trauma, physical aggression, accidents at home and at work, gunshot wounds, among others.

What are the main facial injuries?

Simple wounds of the face (skin, fat and muscles);
Lacerations of important structures (lips, nose, eyelids and ears);
Lacerations with tissue loss;
Lacerations involving deep structures (nerves, saliva and tear ducts);
Nose fractures;
Fractures of the jaws and orbit;
Craniofacial injuries (skull, skull base and facial skeleton);
Lacerations involving tissue loss.

How is the diagnosis made?

The diagnosis is made by physical examination of the wounds and, in cases of suspected fracture, radiographs and computed tomography should be associated.

What are the main goals of treating Facial Trauma?

The first step in treatment is to ensure the patient’s life. The doctor must ensure that the patient is breathing well and without serious injuries that can lead to death quickly (such as severe bleeding and damage to vital organs).

Then, the treatment aims to correct the injuries that were caused by the trauma (returning form and function to the extent possible) and preventing sequelae (such as unsightly scars, retractions, changes in vision, malocclusion and facial deformities).

How is Facial Trauma Surgery performed?

Most simple skin wounds can be treated with local anesthesia, wound cleaning, and suturing.

Facial fractures and complex injuries are treated under general anesthesia. Broken bones are usually restored using titanium miniplates and screws (which are biocompatible and do not suffer rejection).

What are the possible risks and complications?

The risk depends on the severity of the trauma and the patient’s clinical condition. Mild trauma usually does not bring any complications and extremely satisfactory results are achieved. Hematomas are common and rarely require drainage.

In severe trauma, it may be necessary to delay treatment until the patient is stable and it is not uncommon to require more than one intervention to improve the outcome.

What are the post-operative care?

Hospital stay and postoperative course vary according to the severity of the injuries. In most cases of facial fractures, patients return to their usual activities within 15 days. Stitches are removed after 10 to 15 days.

Rhinoplasty

Face

Rhinoplasty in Nagpur: 3 things to know about getting your nose done

The rhinoplasty in Nagpur is a surgical procedure which consists in remodeling of the nasal septum and nasal pyramid for aesthetic or functional purposes.

The aesthetic perception of one’s face and the acceptance of one’s image are often compromised by the irregularity of a nose which can also undermine a patient’s sociability.

How is the nose made and what it is for?

The nose is an organ placed in the center of the face, it represents the initial part of the respiratory tract and has a dual activity:

respiratory, the inhaled air initially passes into the nasal cavities through the nostrils where it is heated, humidified, and purified and continues its journey towards the lungs.

olfactory, the upper mucosa records the olfactory signals and through the bulb and the olfactory nerve they are transmitted to the brain.

The nose is made up of bones, the nasal bones, and the jaw, and of cartilage, which is the tip of the nose.

Inside the nose there are the two nasal cavities, long canals lined with mucosa, which on one side flow into the nostrils and on the other communicate, through two openings called choane, with the upper part of the pharynx (called nasopharynx).

The mucous membrane that covers the nasal cavities is divided into two parts:

olfactory or higher composed of olfactory cells, olfactory bulbs, and olfactory nerves.
or lower respiratory system composed of a vascular network, for heating the inhaled air, and of mucus and cilia, which humidify and purify it.

The nasal septum separates the two pits and is made up of cartilage and bone.

What is rhinoplasty and what is it for?

The rhinoplasty or nose reshaping surgery in Nagpur is one of the most popular surgeries and allows you to change the shape and size of the nose in order to improve the harmony of the face without distorting its appearance.

Specifically, cosmetic surgery of the nose allows you to:

increase or decrease the size of the nose (too small, too large, or too wide).
change the shape of the back (sunken or with the presence of a hump or hump).
change the shape of the tip (too wide, too narrow, or too long).
change the width of the nostrils.
change the angle between the forehead and the nose.
change the angle between the nose and upper lip.
correct post-traumatic defects.
correct birth defects.
solve breathing problems.

The techniques of rhinoplasty

Based on the history of the operation, the patient’s ethnicity and the technique used, rhinoplasty is called:

primary.
secondary.
ethnic.
closed.
open.

Primary or secondary rhinoplasty

The rhinoplasty in Nagpur is primary when it is executed for the first time, while the secondary aim to eliminate those defects that could not be corrected with the first intervention or that have been caused by a previous rhinoplasty.

It may happen that due to the importance of the trauma suffered or the severity of the malformation, some patients need several interventions to correct or resolve the problem.

Closed rhinoplasty

The closed rhinoplasty technique is indicated to correct small defects, especially on the tip, and noses without large asymmetries or large deviations of the nasal pyramid.

Closed rhinoplasty consists in making incisions inside the nose, passing through the nostrils thus avoiding scars.

Open rhinoplasty

Unlike the closed one, open rhinoplasty is chosen to correct important defects of the tip such as asymmetries, bulbous tip, “pinocchio” nose, “pinched-nose”, bifid or deviated tip or to correct outcomes of cleft lip and palate, in secondary or post- traumatic, therefore defects of the osteo-cartilage structures.

This technique consists of incisions made inside the nose passing through the nostrils, as in closed rhinoplasty, but also an incision on the columella at the base of the nasal pyramid thus avoiding scars.

Since there is no single technique valid for all types of surgery, a good surgeon knows and knows how to perform both techniques according to the defect to be corrected.

In addition, rhinoplasty in Nagpur can also be performed in association with functional nose surgery:

rhino septoplasty.
nasal polyp surgery.
turbinate surgery.

The post-surgery

The operation is performed under general anesthesia and can last about 1 hour depending on the technique used and the defect to be corrected.

After surgery, the patient immediately wears a rigid brace for 7 days which will then be replaced with paper plasters for a further 7 days.

In the 2 days following the surgery it is recommended to rest with the head raised and then normal activity can be resumed, however, avoiding:

strenuous activities.
saunas and baths.
sun exposure to avoid brown pigmentation.
very hot food and drink.

Over the course of 15 days, bruises and subzygomatic and eyelid swellings tend to disappear and for 30 days after the operation it is not recommended to use glasses and carry out “dangerous” activities that could cause trauma to the nose.

At what age is it possible to undergo rhinoplasty in Nagpur?

Surgery on the nose can only be performed after 16 in women and 18 in men.

When is it best to have surgery?

The rhinoplasty in Nagpur can theoretically be performed at any time of the year, but it is better to avoid the hot months of summer, such as July and August, because the heat favors edema and hypertrophy of scar tissues.

Risks of rhinoplasty

In addition to the general complications common to any surgery (anesthetic risk, infection, bleeding), rhinoplasty presents the risk of specific complications such as bleeding, edema of the nasal mucosa and dark circles.

bleeding: at the end of the rhinoplasty, nasal swabs are placed inside the nostrils, the purpose of which is to reduce bleeding and limit the risk of hematoma, which are subsequently removed after 24 hours.

Nosebleeds (nose bleeds) can often occur soon after removal.

edema of the nasal mucosa: aesthetic rhinoplasty, even if it does not make changes to the functional part of the nose, could create a temporary worsening of breathing, mainly due to edema of the nasal mucosa.

bruises and dark circles: it may happen that swelling, or bruises may remain visible for more than 15 days and in subjects with particularly light skin, the formation of dark circles due to the blood pigment may persist for several months.

The Development of UK Betting Technologies Documented by Betzella

The United Kingdom has long served as a pioneering force in the gambling industry, establishing regulatory frameworks and technological innovations that have shaped betting practices worldwide. From the earliest days of bookmaking on British racecourses to today’s sophisticated digital platforms, the evolution of betting technologies reflects broader changes in society, regulation, and digital infrastructure. Betzella has documented this remarkable transformation, tracing how technological advancement has fundamentally altered the relationship between operators and bettors while maintaining the UK’s position as a global leader in responsible gambling practices.

The Foundation: Pre-Digital Era and Early Computerization

Before the digital revolution transformed the gambling landscape, British betting operated through a network of licensed betting shops that emerged following the Betting and Gaming Act of 1960. These establishments relied on manual processes, with odds displayed on chalkboards and bets recorded in ledgers. The introduction of computerized systems in the 1970s marked the first significant technological shift, as operators began using mainframe computers to calculate odds and manage accounts more efficiently.

The Satellite Information Services (SIS) launched in 1987 represented a watershed moment in betting technology. This system allowed betting shops across the country to receive live race feeds and results simultaneously, standardizing information access and enabling more dynamic odds adjustment. Betzella’s research highlights how this infrastructure laid the groundwork for future innovations by demonstrating that centralized data distribution could enhance both operational efficiency and customer experience.

During the 1990s, electronic point-of-sale terminals became standard in betting shops, replacing handwritten betting slips with digital records. These systems improved accuracy, reduced disputes, and provided operators with valuable data about betting patterns. The technology also facilitated the introduction of more complex bet types, as computers could calculate potential returns for accumulator bets and other multi-selection wagers far more quickly than manual methods allowed.

The Internet Revolution and Mobile Transformation

The Gambling Act of 2005 liberalized online gambling regulations in the UK, catalyzing an explosion of internet-based betting platforms. Early online bookmakers faced significant technical challenges, including secure payment processing, server reliability, and creating user interfaces that could replicate the immediacy of in-person betting. Betzella’s documentation shows that operators who invested heavily in proprietary technology during this period gained substantial competitive advantages.

The proliferation of smartphones after 2007 necessitated another technological evolution. Mobile betting applications required entirely new approaches to user experience design, as operators needed to compress complex betting markets into small screen formats while maintaining functionality. The development of responsive web design and native mobile applications transformed betting from a destination activity into something accessible anywhere and anytime. Today’s betting sites UK utilize sophisticated mobile platforms that account for the majority of customer transactions, reflecting fundamental changes in consumer behavior and expectations.

Live in-play betting emerged as one of the most significant technological innovations of the mobile era. This feature requires real-time data feeds, instantaneous odds calculation, and the infrastructure to handle massive spikes in traffic during popular events. Betzella notes that delivering seamless in-play betting demanded substantial investment in server architecture, data partnerships with sports organizations, and algorithmic trading systems that could adjust odds in milliseconds based on game developments.

Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Regulatory Technology

Contemporary betting technology increasingly relies on artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. These systems analyze vast datasets to personalize user experiences, optimize odds compilation, and identify patterns that might indicate problem gambling behavior. AI-powered chatbots provide customer service around the clock, while predictive analytics help operators forecast demand and manage risk more effectively than traditional methods.

Blockchain technology has begun influencing UK betting operations, particularly in areas concerning transparency and security. While cryptocurrency betting remains relatively limited due to regulatory requirements, the underlying distributed ledger technology offers potential applications in bet verification, fair gaming certification, and instant settlement of winnings. Betzella’s research indicates that major operators are exploring blockchain solutions for back-end processes even as customer-facing applications remain conventional.

Perhaps most critically, regulatory technology has become essential for UK operators navigating increasingly complex compliance requirements. The UK Gambling Commission has implemented stringent rules regarding age verification, anti-money laundering measures, and responsible gambling protections. Modern betting platforms incorporate sophisticated identity verification systems, transaction monitoring algorithms, and behavioral analytics designed to identify at-risk customers. These regulatory technologies represent substantial operational costs but are fundamental to maintaining licenses in one of the world’s most strictly regulated gambling markets.

Data Analytics and the Personalization Revolution

The contemporary betting experience is heavily shaped by data analytics capabilities that would have been unimaginable two decades ago. Operators now collect and analyze information about every customer interaction, from which markets attract attention to how long users spend considering different bets. This data informs everything from website design decisions to marketing strategies and product development priorities.

Personalization engines use machine learning to tailor the betting experience to individual preferences. These systems might highlight specific sports or bet types based on previous behavior, adjust the prominence of different features, or provide customized promotions aligned with user interests. Betzella’s documentation reveals that effective personalization significantly improves customer retention and engagement metrics, making these technologies central to competitive strategy.

Advanced analytics also support responsible gambling initiatives. Modern platforms can identify behavioral patterns associated with problem gambling, such as rapidly increasing stake sizes, chasing losses, or betting beyond typical patterns. When these indicators appear, systems can trigger interventions ranging from gentle reminders about safer gambling tools to temporary account restrictions. This application of technology reflects the UK industry’s increasing emphasis on customer welfare alongside commercial objectives.

The integration of social features represents another analytics-driven development. Some platforms now incorporate elements that allow users to share betting selections, compare performance with friends, or participate in community discussions. These features require sophisticated content moderation systems and privacy controls, demonstrating how betting technology must balance engagement with protection and regulatory compliance.

The journey from chalkboard odds to AI-powered platforms illustrates how thoroughly technology has transformed UK betting. Betzella’s comprehensive documentation of this evolution reveals not just technical progress but changing societal attitudes, regulatory philosophies, and business models. As emerging technologies like virtual reality, 5G connectivity, and quantum computing mature, they will undoubtedly drive further innovation. The UK’s combination of technological sophistication, robust regulation, and market maturity ensures it will remain at the forefront of global betting technology development, continually balancing innovation with consumer protection in ways that influence gambling markets worldwide.

Otoplasty

Face

Correction of prominent ears (otoplasty) is indicated to make the ears less prominent and improve the definition of their inner contours.

The prominent ear is the most frequent malformation of the auricle. It is characterized by anterior rotation of the ear (distance of the ear in relation to the skull), usually associated with the erasure of folds or internal protrusions. It can be hereditary and present different degrees of involvement. These changes make the ears more evident and appear larger than they really are. This can bother adults and, especially, children and young people, in addition to generating anxiety and concern in parents. The purpose of protruding ears correction (otoplasty) is to decrease the projection of the ears in relation to the skull (turning the ears backwards) and improve the definition of their internal reliefs (creation of folds and internal protrusions).

Surgical technique

Marking the incisions in the posterior regions of the ears.
Antisepsis + anesthesia.
Incision in the posterior region of the ear + resection of a small skin spindle.
Tissue detachment to well expose the auricular cartilage and the bony region behind the ear (mastoid).
Review of bleeding areas.
Marking the limits for the creation of the cartilaginous bulge (anti-helix).
Incision or scraping of the cartilage in the area where it will be folded (to weaken it) + sutures to create the anti-helix fold.
Sutures bringing the concha of the ear closer to the skull.
Closure of the incision behind the ear.
Repetition of the same steps in the other ear, trying to obtain the greatest possible symmetry.
Dressing maintaining the repositioning of the ears.

Postoperative Guidelines

The bandage covering the head and both ears will only be removed after 24 hours. After its removal, the use of a ballerina tape (women) or tennis headband (men) will be recommended, keeping the ears close to the skull for about 30 days (15 days full time and 15 days only at night). After the 1st postoperative day, there will be no need for rest, but great care must be taken when lying down so as not to bend the ears. Purples and bumps may appear, but they will soon disappear. Pain and discomfort are temporary and will subside easily with prescribed medication. Hair and ears should be washed carefully at first.

Guidelines on otoplasty

The bandage covering the head and both ears will only be removed after 24 hours. Pain and discomfort are temporary and will subside easily with prescribed medication.
Avoid driving in the first 5 days after surgery.
After discharge, it will be important to rest in bed or in a reclining chair. When lying down, keep the headboard elevated 30º for 5 days. Avoid tucking your ears against the pillow.
After removing the bandage, you can take your full body bath, washing the operated areas, without rubbing them, using the prescribed soap. Hair and ears should be washed very carefully at first. Carefully wash operative wounds (areas with stitches). Complete the bath with normal soap.
Always have a separate clean face towel to dry the operated area and a regular towel to dry the rest of the body. In the operated area, press lightly when drying and do not rub.
The dressing will be exchanged for ballerina tape for women and tennis headband for men. This will be recommended for a period of 30 days, keeping the ears close to the skull (15 days full time and 15 days night only). Men can wear a cap if they want to hide the forehead.
After the 1st postoperative day, there will be no need for bed rest. Return to your normal activities, respecting the aforementioned limits.
It will be possible for the appearance of bruises (ecchymosis) and swelling (edema) in the operated areas, which will disappear over time.
Sun exposure should be avoided for the first 30 days after surgery. The use of sunscreen is advisable.
More intense physical activities should only be resumed 3 months after surgery (examples: swimming, running, weight training, ball sports).
You must return to the doctor’s office regularly, as requested, for the removal of the stitches and evaluation of the evolution of the surgery.
After removing the stitches, start massaging the scars with the prescribed oil. In some cases, special care for the scars will be necessary.
The outcome of your surgery will depend a lot on following these guidelines correctly. Any questions, contact your doctor.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What is the indication for protruding ears correction surgery?

Protruding ears correction surgery is indicated in children and adults who have protruding ears to make the ears less prominent and more harmonious in relation to the facial contour, in addition to improving the definition of their internal contours.
