Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that corrects ears that are overly large, protrude too far from the head, or are asymmetrical. The surgery helps create more natural proportions and a harmonious facial appearance. Otoplasty can be performed from the age of 5.
Who is it suitable for?
Otoplasty may be appropriate for patients who want to:
Reduce the size of overly large ears,
Bring protruding ears closer to the head,
Correct asymmetrical ears,
Improve self-confidence related to their appearance.
How the procedure is performed
The operation is carried out through small incisions behind the ear, hidden in the natural crease.
The cartilage is reshaped and the ear is positioned as desired.
After healing, only a fine, barely noticeable scar remains behind the ear.
Recovery and results
After surgery, a compression bandage is applied to help keep the ear in the correct position.
Pain and bruising are generally minimal.
Most patients can return to their normal daily activities within 5–7 days.
The result is ears that are more proportional and a more balanced overall facial appearance.
