Otoplasty is a surgical procedure, also known as ear surgery, designed to correct the shape, size, or position of the ears, providing a more aesthetic and balanced appearance to the face. This procedure is particularly common in cases where the ears protrude excessively or exhibit congenital malformations.

The otoplasty procedure involves making a carefully planned incision on the back of the ear to correct the shape, size, or position of the ears. This strategic incision allows the surgeon to access the auricular cartilage, which is reshaped to create folds that mimic the anatomy of a natural and aesthetically balanced ear.
Includes: Surgeon's fees, surgical equipment, operating room, and outpatient stay in the hospital. Additionally, post-surgical follow-up appointments necessary until discharge are also covered.
Not included: The elastic band, pre-operative tests, and necessary medications.
Ideal candidates for otoplasty are those with prominent ears or congenital malformations, as well as children with such characteristics after the age of 5 or 6. Candidates are expected to be in good physical health, non-smokers, have realistic expectations about the results, and be committed to postoperative care. The assessment of suitability for otoplasty should be performed by a certified cosmetic surgeon during the consultation.
No, otoplasty does not affect hearing in any way. This cosmetic surgery focuses on correcting the external appearance of the ears and has no impact on hearing ability or the internal structures related to hearing.
Yes, otoplasty surgery can leave a scar, but it is typically discreet and located on the back of the ear.
The recommended medications after otoplasty surgery include pain relievers to manage pain and antibiotics to prevent infections.
The risks and potential complications associated with otoplasty include swelling, infection, bruising, bleeding, skin sensitivity in the treated area, itching, a possibility of overcorrection, and a very rare risk of hearing alteration.
