The "flyaway" auricles are quite often a congenital handicap that is mainly very unpleasant in the childhood, when the other children can sour the life of the one with such a problem. But even to adults the flyaway auricles do not add to the self-confidence. This handicap can be one-sided as well as combined with different shapes and sizes of the auricles.

The operation is done with local anaesthesia or in combination with intravenous anaesthesia in certain cases. The surgery is done on the back side of the auricles in order for the scars to be as unnoticeable as possible. The operation takes one hour. A compression bandage is applied after the surgery.

1. One has to count with 2 weeks of healing.
2. At least one month prior to the operation the patient is forbidden to use any drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid, which reduces the blood coagulation and could cause post-surgical bleeding. These drugs are for example Acylpyrin, Acylkoffin, Aspro, Alnagon, Aspirin etc. The usage of these drugs highly increases the risk of heavy bleeding during and after the operation; such a patient cannot undergo the operation!!
3. The patient must not be suffering from any virus-based or any other diseases or undergoning convalescence (recovery).
4. The operation is paid for on the day of the operation. The patient will receive a receipt for the amount paid.
   

As with any other operations there is a possibility of bleeding and infection. We can reduce the risks of such events to the minimum by eliminating the circumstances that cause them. The scars' quality depends on the individual healing process.
