Otoplasty

Ear Reshaping for Harmony and Confidence

Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that corrects the shape, position, or size of the ears, offering a natural and symmetrical result. Its goal is to improve the appearance of prominent or misshapen ears without altering the natural expression of the face.

Although a short procedure, otoplasty has significant psychological impact, as prominent ears often affect self-esteem — particularly in children and teenagers, but also in adults who feel uncomfortable with their ear shape.

 

What Problems Can Otoplasty Correct?

.

  • Prominent ears (protruding ears)
  • Asymmetry between the two ears
  • Cartilage malformations
  • Deformities due to trauma or previous surgeries

 

How Is the Procedure Performed?

A small incision is made behind the ear, leaving no visible scar. The surgeon reshapes the cartilage, recreates natural folds, and repositions the ear closer to the head.


The technique is safe and provides long-lasting results.

Anesthesia & Setting

Otoplasty can be performed:

✔ Under local anesthesia in the clinic

✔ Under general anesthesia in a hospital setting — particularly for children or teenagers

The choice is made after consultation, depending on age, needs, and patient preference.

 

Recovery – What to Expect

  • Same-day return home
  • Mild swelling and discomfort for a few days
  • Use of a protective elastic headband (mainly at night) for 2–3 weeks
  • Absorbable sutures or removal within 7 days
  • Avoid intense sports or impacts for 3–4 weeks

Final results are visible immediately and improve as swelling subsides

Why Choose Otoplasty?

✔ Painless and quick procedure
✔ Natural and permanent results

✔ Boosts self-confidence at any age

✔ Ideal for children 6 years and older

 

Otoplasty is a simple yet transformative intervention that significantly improves both aesthetics and self-esteem. Choosing an experienced specialist ensures safety, symmetry, and a perfectly natural outcome.
