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.

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.
