There are two options when it comes to the surgery being performed: under general or local anaesthetic. The costs of the ear pinning surgery depend on the anaesthetic.
Under general anaesthetic (both ears) ca. 813 GBP
Under local anaesthetic (both ears) ca. 723 GBP
The estimated time of stay in Poland is up to 7 days. 5-7 days after the surgery the stitches will be removed. Time off work will be less than a week, the scar tissue healing takes 1-2 months. You can get back to active life after 2 weeks.
The type of anesthesia depends on the age of the patient and the doctor's final decision.
Usually if a child is the patient, then the surgeon may recommend general anesthesia, so the child will sleep through the operation. For older children or adults, the surgeon may prefer to use local anesthesia, combined with a sedative, so that you will be awake but relaxed.
Ear surgery usually takes about two to three hours, although complicated procedures may take longer. The technique will depend on the problem.
When it comes to getting back to normal, adults and children are usually up and around within a few hours of surgery, although you may prefer to stay overnight in the hospital until all the effects of general anesthesia wear off. Your head will be wrapped in a bulky bandage immediately following surgery to promote the best molding and healing. The ears may throb or ache a little for a few days, but this can be relieved by medication.
