Non-Surgical Ear Enhancement with Gold Threads
Prominent ears can be a problem that causes embarrassment for some individuals. Most people try to find ways to hide them, and the idea of surgical correction can be intimidating. Fortunately, there's an alternative method for ear enhancement that doesn't involve surgery: using gold threads.
Prominent ears:
In most cases, genes play a significant role in the appearance of prominent ears in children. It can be due to incomplete growth, improper cartilage formation, or excessive cartilage growth. If you notice this in your child early on, there's a way to help reshape his ears without surgery. Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy, a specialist in plastic surgery procedures, can provide ear supports that help mold the ears into a more desired shape. These supports act like braces for the ears, helping them develop better. However, they're more suitable for younger children when their ear cartilage is still soft and flexible. But in some other cases, these supports are not suitable due to the lack of sufficient cartilage flexibility for reshaping.

Who can consider non-surgical ear enhancement?
This option is suitable for those in good health who don't have ongoing health issues and who aren't currently dealing with ear infections. Smokers might not be the best candidates for this either. If you're thinking about this for your child, he should be at least five years old, so his ears have finished growing, and he should be able to follow directions.

How non-surgical ear enhancement works?
Instead of surgery, gold threads are used to enhance the appearance of the ears. They can be inserted behind the ear and gently pulled to reduce protrusion. Making a small incision behind the ear, not exceeding a few centimeters, and the surgeon inserts the needle through it. Dr. Ahmed Mekkawy then secures these threads to the ear tissue and gently pulls them to reshape the ear. The incision is closed with a few stitches and under local anesthesia. Gold threads have a color similar to the skin, making them difficult to notice after being inserted under the skin.
