Otoplasty (Ear Reshaping Surgery)
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the ears to correct protrusion, asymmetry, or congenital deformities. The procedure enhances facial balance and proportion, resulting in a natural and aesthetically pleasing ear appearance. It is suitable for both children and adults seeking lasting improvement in appearance and self-confidence.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is suitable for individuals who:
- Have prominent, protruding, or asymmetrical ears
- Seek improved facial balance and harmony
- Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
Candidate evaluation includes analysis of ear anatomy, skin quality, and overall facial proportions.
Pre-Treatment Process
The pre-treatment phase includes a comprehensive consultation involving ear measurements, medical photography, medical history review, blood tests, and anesthesia assessment. Patients receive clear pre-operative instructions regarding medication use, lifestyle adjustments, and surgical preparation.
Surgical Procedure
Otoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia based on patient age and surgical plan. The procedure typically includes:
- Hidden incisions behind the ear to minimize visible scarring
- Reshaping and repositioning of ear cartilage
- Internal suturing to preserve the desired contour
- Final symmetry control and adjustments
Post-Treatment & Recovery
Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal following surgery. A protective headband is worn to support healing and maintain ear position. Most patients resume daily activities gradually, with final results visible within 4–6 weeks.
Results & Longevity
Otoplasty provides permanent improvement in ear shape and position. Results include reduced protrusion, improved symmetry, and enhanced facial proportion with minimal long-term maintenance.
