A scoopear is a problem causedbythefactthatthecartilagefold, which is located in thescoop-shapedprotrudingpart of theearandresembles a Y-shape, is not sufficientlydeveloped.

Typically, ifyourearsprotrudemorethanabout 35 degreesfromtheskull, orifthere is a gap of morethan 2 cm betweenyourauricleandtheskull, we can say with a simpledefinitionthatyouhaveears in the form of a decapitatedear.

The anglebetweentheearandthedecapitationarea is normally a 30-degree angle. The factthatlargeranglesappearwhencomparedwiththesevaluesindicatesthatyouarefacingthe problem of a scoopear.

Thesemeasures, whicharegivenandconsidered normal, varywithageprogression in people. As a result of thedownwardpull of theearlobesundertheinfluence of gravity, a change in the size of theearoccurs as theageprogresses. Geneticpredisposition is effective in theformation of scoopears.

The problem of scoopheadphones, which has beenbotheringpeoplefor a lifetime in thepasttimes, has become a problem that can be easilysolvedwithsimplemethodstoday. Scoopearsurgery is one of theearshapingoperationsperformedbychangingtheshapeandposition of theears. Inmedicalparlance, thisoperation is called “otoplasty”. The areawherescoopearsurgery is performed is behindtheear, and in thisway, theappearance of stitches is prevented. The factthatthestitchesare not visiblegenerallyhelpschildrenfeelbetteraftersurgery. The duration of theoperation is on averageabout 2 hours. Scoopearsurgery in children is performedunder general anesthesia, while in adults it is rarelyperformedunder general, mostlylocalanesthesia.

An operation can be performed in front of orbehindtheearaccordingtothestructure of theear, thesurgeon’stechniqueandpreference.
