Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)

What is it?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct protruding or misshapen ears.

About Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)

Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning surgery, reshapes or repositions the ears to create a more proportionate and natural look. This procedure is commonly performed on individuals whose ears protrude significantly from their heads, causing them self-consciousness or discomfort. Otoplasty can correct various ear deformities, including congenital conditions, injuries, or irregularities in cartilage development. The goal is to create a balanced, aesthetically pleasing ear shape that complements the rest of the facial features.

How it Works

The surgeon examines the ear structure and determines the extent of the correction needed.
Incisions are made behind the ears to access the cartilage, which is reshaped and repositioned closer to the head. Sutures are used to hold the ears in place during healing.
Ears will appear more proportionate to the head, with natural contours restored.
Patients achieve a slimmer, more defined face with reduced fullness in the lower cheeks.

Who are ideal candidates for treatment:

  • Individuals with overly prominent ears.
  • People with misshapen ears due to congenital issues or injury.
  • Children or adults looking to improve ear appearance.
  • Non-smokers with good general health.
  • Patients with realistic expectations about the results.
  • Individuals who are self-conscious about the appearance of their ears.

Minor treatments, such as eyelid surgery, may allow patients to resume daily activities within a week, while more comprehensive surgeries, like facelifts, may require a few weeks for full recovery.

The longevity of results varies by procedure. Surgical results, like rhinoplasty and facelifts, are generally long-lasting, often lasting for years. While procedures do not halt aging, following recommended care and lifestyle habits can help maintain results over time. We’ll discuss expected outcomes for your specific treatment during your consultation.

A mini-facelift is a less invasive option focused on lifting and tightening the lower face, ideal for patients with mild sagging. A traditional facelift targets more extensive facial aging, addressing both the mid and lower face and offering more comprehensive rejuvenation. We help patients determine which procedure aligns with their goals during the consultation process.

Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals with realistic expectations for their outcomes. Factors such as age, skin elasticity, bone structure, and overall health all play a role in determining suitability. We conduct detailed consultations to help each patient understand which procedures align best with their goals and expectations.
