Saddle Otoplasty
Enhance Comfort and Functionality with Custom Ear Surgery
What Is Saddle Otoplasty?
Saddle Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve the fit and functionality of hearing devices on the outer ear. Hearing aids often rely on a natural groove where the ear connects to the skull for stability. When this groove is too wide or narrow, the device may feel uncomfortable or frequently dislodge. Saddle Otoplasty reshapes this area, creating a tailored fit to securely hold your hearing aid.
The Saddle Otoplasty Procedure
This procedure involves reshaping the anatomy of the external ear to better accommodate your hearing device. Dr. Rai works closely with an experienced otolaryngologist to customize your treatment. Techniques may include:
- Superior Helical Groove Adjustment: Modifying the top groove of the ear for a secure fit.
- In-folding of the Pinna: Reshaping ears that naturally protrude to lie closer to the head, enhancing the device’s stability.
Each procedure is tailored to your specific anatomy to provide optimal results.
