Otoplasty: Reshape & Enhance Your Ears

What is Otoplasty? Otoplasty, also known as ear reshaping surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of the ears by correcting their shape, size, or position. This surgery is commonly performed to address protruding, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears, creating a more balanced and natural look.

Who Can Benefit from Otoplasty? Otoplasty is suitable for both children and adults who:

• Have ears that stick out excessively from the head

• Have asymmetrical or misshapen ears due to genetics or injury

• Feel self-conscious about their ear appearance

• Want to restore ear structure after trauma or previous surgery

Types of Otoplasty Procedures

1. Ear Pinning Surgery – Brings prominent ears closer to the head by reshaping the cartilage.

2. Ear Reduction Surgery – Reduces oversized ears for better proportion.

3. Ear Augmentation – Enhances underdeveloped or missing ear structures.

4. Reconstructive Otoplasty – Corrects congenital defects or ear deformities caused by trauma.

The Otoplasty Procedure

1. Consultation & Planning – A plastic surgeon evaluates ear structure and discusses desired results.

2. Anesthesia – Performed under local anesthesia (adults) or general anesthesia (children).

3. Incision Placement – Usually hidden behind the ear for minimal visible scarring.

4. Cartilage Reshaping – Excess cartilage is removed, reshaped, or repositioned.

5. Suturing & Recovery – Incisions are closed, and bandages are applied to support healing.

Recovery & Aftercare

• First Few Days – Swelling and mild discomfort are normal; pain medication can help.

• 1-2 Weeks – Most patients return to daily activities.

• Final Results – Full healing and final ear shape appear within 3-6 months.

• Long-Term Care – Avoiding trauma and following post-op instructions ensure lasting results.

Otoplasty vs. Non-Surgical Alternatives
