Extreme Otoplasty - Elf Ears

The release of the Lord of the Rings trilogy on wide screens led to the emergence of a fashion for "elf ears". Of course, first of all, such an unusual otoplasty began to be tried on by young girls and boys, who are always driven by a craving for experiments and a desire to express themselves.

So how is such a procedure done and are there any risks in its implementation.

Performing a procedure

In principle, the otoplasty procedure itself, which allows you to get ears like an elf, is quite complicated. But, in a reputable center of plastic surgery, it will be performed without risks to life. The operation is performed under local anesthesia, and it takes place in several stages:

  1. The medic cuts the skin on the ear and releases the cartilage.
  2. Part of the cartilage is cut out, after which the ear is folded in the right way, the tip is sharpened. otoplastika, jel'fijskie ushi, ushi kak u jel'fa, ushi jel'fa, kak sdelat' ushi jel'fa, operacija na ushah
  3. The cartilage is sutured, so that it is fixed in the desired position.
  4. A bandage is applied to the ear for fixation.

It would seem that the procedure itself is simple. But, first of all, it is necessary to take into account the skill level of the master, since the operation has certain, very important nuances. The point is that if the specialist does not take into account the natural elasticity of the ear cartilage, it can “straighten” during healing. As a result, the ear will return to its original shape and the operation will be in vain. But, this is not the worst. otoplastika, jel'fijskie ushi, ushi kak u jel'fa, ushi jel'fa, kak sdelat' ushi jel'fa, operacija na ushah

It is much worse if the healing cartilage begins to “spread”, and the ear becomes completely shapeless. Therefore, experienced craftsmen immediately after the operation tighten the tips of the cartilage very strongly.

Are there any downsides to the operation?

Before you decide on such an extreme change in appearance, you should think it over several times. Here, as in the saying - measure seven times, cut once. The operation "elven ears" is irreversible and, subsequently, it will be unrealistic to return the previous shape of the ears. otoplastika, jel'fijskie ushi, ushi kak u jel'fa, ushi jel'fa, kak sdelat' ushi jel'fa, operacija na ushah In addition, during the operation, complications are possible:

  • Infection - if suddenly the ear is swollen, reddened, pulsating and an ichor appears from the cut - this is extremely dangerous and requires immediate medical attention.
  • Swelling and bruising - if the individual characteristics of the client lead to prolonged healing of wounds on the ear, pronounced scars may appear.
  • Perichondritis - this complication is expressed in severe inflammation of the ear cartilage. In the most difficult cases, everything ends with necrosis and deformity of the ear.
