Otoplasty, also known as cosmetic ear surgery, is a procedure that corrects the position of the ears. It is an excellent option for people who want to improve the appearance of prominent, asymmetrical, or deformed ears, or those who have suffered an ear injury.
✅ Otoplasty is a safe procedure that does not affect your hearing.
✅ It can be performed on adults and children from 5 years of age, once the ears have fully developed.
✅ The results are permanent, achieving ears that look natural and well-proportioned to the face.
Thanks to modern and less invasive techniques:
1️⃣ Recovery is quicker and with minimal discomfort.
2️⃣ Scars are hidden behind the ears and are barely visible.
3️⃣ The results look natural and balanced, enhancing confidence.
When is Otoplasty Recommended?
Otoplasty is advised for anyone who feels self-conscious about the appearance of their ears due to their shape, size, or position.
✅ It is ideal for those who have experienced teasing or bullying because of prominent ears.
✅ It is a good option if your ears are large or disproportionate compared to your head.
✅ It can also be considered if you have already had an otoplasty but are not satisfied with the outcome, as corrective surgery is possible.
Overview of the Otoplasty Procedure
1. Consultation
1️⃣ During the first consultation, the surgeon will:
Review your medical history.
Examine the shape and position of your ears.
Discuss your goals and expectations.
2️⃣ The aim is to achieve natural, balanced, and harmonious results for your ears.
2. Treatment
✅ Otoplasty is an outpatient surgery, so you can return home the same day.
✅ It may be performed under:
Local anesthesia with sedation (numbing only the treated area).
General anesthesia, depending on your needs.
Typical surgical steps:
Incisions behind the ears or within the natural folds.
Removal or reshaping of excess cartilage and skin.
Folding and securing the cartilage into its new position with internal sutures.
⏱ The procedure takes around 2 hours, and scars are well-hidden behind the ears, making them almost invisible.
3. Recovery
✅ Mild discomfort or itching is normal during the first days.
✅ Pain-relief and healing medications will be prescribed.
✅ Use a soft headband to protect the new position of the ears, including during sleep.
✅ Avoid touching or pulling on the ears to ensure proper healing.
✅ Once the bandages are removed, results are visible immediately — and the change is permanent.
