Ear Correction Surgery (Otoplasty)

Ear Correction Surgery, medically known as otoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes, repositions, or resizes the ears to create a more natural and balanced appearance. It is commonly performed to correct prominent or protruding ears but can also address other ear shape irregularities caused by genetics or injury.

What Otoplasty Can Correct

Prominent or protruding ears
Large or misshapen ears
Ear asymmetry
Ears that stick out too far from the head
Previous ear injuries or congenital deformities
This surgery is suitable for both children (usually aged 5 and above) and adults who are self-conscious about the appearance of their ears.

Benefits of Ear Correction Surgery

Creates a more balanced and symmetrical facial profile
Restores confidence and self-esteem, especially in children
Permanent and natural-looking results
Minimal visible scarring, with incisions typically hidden behind the ears
Quick recovery with long-lasting effects

The Otoplasty Procedure

Otoplasty is usually performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and preference. During the procedure, the surgeon reshapes the cartilage and repositions the ears closer to the head. The entire process typically takes 1 to 2 hours.

You are bothered by the shape, size, or position of your ears
You are in good physical health and free of chronic ear infections
You have realistic expectations about the results
