Having ears pinned with the stitch method

 

People are often reduced to their appearance. This is not only the case today. People have always compared everything with each other: appearance, status, behavior etc. ...

 

Unfortunately, “different” is quickly condemned and people who fall into this “different” category often feel marginalized and uncomfortable.

 

If you have protruding ears, popularly known as dumbo ears, you can be the butt of many jokes and the target of inappropriate remarks, putting you under psychological and emotional strain. So it's no wonder that people want to have their ears pinned back.

 

In addition, protruding ears have a negative effect on the overall appearance and ensure that women do not wear pinned-up or short hairstyles and men like to cover their heads with caps and pull them over their ears to hide them.

 

Self-confidence suffers. If you are emotionally affected by teasing and are dissatisfied and insecure due to your public image and appearance, at some point you have had enough and don't know what to do. This is exactly when it is time for many of those affected to do something and intervene. This can be done safely and without surgical traces using Dr. Merck's stitch method. The fact that no signs of surgery are visible has made this method famous worldwide.

 

Why the stitch method according to Dr. Merck?

 

Having your ears corrected using Dr. Merck's stitch method rather than any other thread method is a clever and effective solution. For what reason? If you have your ears pinned using this technique, you have a minimally invasive procedure.

 

In 1995, Dr. Merck developed the procedure, which can correct ears with a single thread. This suture is made of non-absorbable, tear-resistant Prolene. This material is harmless and is therefore used by vascular and cardiac surgeons worldwide. It is placed invisibly under the skin with a needle and bends the anthelix, an inner fold of the auricle, so that the auricle is created. The shape of this inner ear fold is thus corrected and its curvature strengthened, which automatically allows the protruding ears to be positioned.

 

The great thing is that Dr. Merck's stitch method results in a particularly natural and beautiful ear. If you have your ears pinned using other surgical methods, you will see traces of the procedure, i.e. a scar and relatively often edges and retractions, which is definitely not the case with the Merck suture method.

 

There is practically no risk of infection, which is why only a one-day antibiotic treatment is required. There will also be no permanent sensitivity disorders. Deformations of the auricle or an uneven surface relief are ruled out. Bandages are not a result of this procedure. In addition, there is absolutely no need for cartilage removal, which occurs with many other methods and can lead to unsightly cosmetic results.

 

The exact position of the ears can be determined by the patient, as they can observe and decide everything during the procedure with a mirror in their hand.

Ear correction for all ages - from young to old!

 

Another point that definitely speaks for Dr. Merck's advanced method is the age range of the patients already treated. The youngest was 5 years old, the oldest 86 years old. Patient acceptance is extremely high, with pain lasting only 3 days on average. General anesthesia is not necessary from the age of 12. In exceptional cases, children as young as 8 have been operated on without general anesthesia.

 

It is best if the patient undergoes the operation before starting school, as this avoids the potential for teasing and hostility from classmates because of the ears. This way, the patient's mental development is not impaired and they can start school and social life without any worries.

 

And with the Dr. Merck stitch method, you are on the safe side in a sustainable and visually extremely satisfactory way.
