What is Non-Surgical Ear Harmonization?
Before discussing the benefits of non-surgical ear harmonization compared to surgical otoplasty, it is essential to understand what ear harmonization is.
Ear harmonization is a technique originating in Brazil and brought to Colombia by Dr. Jean Paul Salazar. It is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require downtime. Patients can resume their normal activities on the same day, provided they follow Dr. Salazar’s recommendations. This technique offers many benefits, including:
- No scars.
- A definitive solution.
- Minimal pain.
Non-Surgical Ear Harmonization vs. Surgical Otoplasty
Now, let’s explore the key differences between these two procedures:
Surgical vs. Non-Surgical
- Ear harmonization is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure with no incisions.
- Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that requires incisions.
Recovery Time
- The recovery time for ear harmonization is up to 15 days, with no need for downtime.
- Otoplasty requires a recovery period of over a month, often involving disability or restricted activity.
Scope of Correction
- Ear harmonization addresses protruding ears, tips, and lobes.
- Otoplasty typically focuses solely on correcting protruding ears.
Important Considerations
It is important to note that non-surgical ear harmonization is not a replacement for otoplasty. Each case is unique, so it is essential to evaluate individual needs and determine which procedure is best suited for you.
