Some people think that people with windy ears are smarter and have good fortune! And some people think that windy ears are a sign of ruin and affect their fortune! All of the above are folk sayings and have no scientific basis. In clinical medicine, the “wind-swept ear”, also known as transverse ears deformity, is a more common congenital ear deformity that is too prominent to the outside. It is characterized by bilateral, but not completely symmetrical, ears. The auricle is flat, mainly in the upper part of the auricle, which is at an approximate right angle to the cranial sidewall. There are many reasons for the ear: genetic inheritance from the parents, abnormal folding due to abnormal development of the auricular cartilage, and lack of skin or cartilage. It does not affect hearing and is not accompanied by other serious deformities, but has a different appearance than most people. As shown in the picture below, the ear is very prominent on the face, making it feel like it is not in proportion to the whole head and may affect the aesthetics. People with good psychological quality will not care if their ears are stubbed out, but those with weak psychological tolerance will be under psychological pressure and may consider seeking help from a plastic surgeon. Therefore, it is not necessary to correct windy ears. The main goal is to improve the bilateral symmetry and to reshape the natural curvature of the ear contour and appearance. Common surgical methods: cartilage excision method, cartilage strip grafting method, etc. 2. If non-surgical treatment is used, it should be started early and should be adhered to for several years, usually only for small patients whose auricular cartilage has not yet been shaped before the age of 1. The indications for otoplasty are not very traumatic and can be performed on patients who want to improve the shape of their ears. In order not to interfere with the normal psychological development of children, the surgery can be performed at the age of 5-6 years. At this time, the auricle is only a few millimeters different from that of an adult, so the surgery does not have a significant impact on their development, and bilateral otoplasty should be completed in one surgery. Those who suffer from acute or chronic otitis media should be treated with middle ear treatment first, and those with scar growth should not have surgery. If you decide to undergo correction, remember that you need to go to a regular hospital and have the surgery performed by an experienced professional plastic surgeon!
