EAR SURGERY / OTOPLASTY
Ear Surgery, or Otoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and repositions the ears to create a more balanced facial appearance. It is commonly performed to correct protruding or asymmetrical ears by adjusting the cartilage. This procedure can improve self-esteem and confidence, particularly for individuals who feel self-conscious about the size or position of their ears. Otoplasty is suitable for both adults and children above the age of five.

Ear Surgery is suitable for patients as young as five years old. By this age, the ears have typically reached their full size, making it an ideal time for correction.
Incisions are made behind the ear, where they are hidden in the natural folds. Scars usually heal well and become less noticeable over time.
Most patients can return to school or work within a week. Swelling and bruising generally subside within 2-3 weeks, and full results are visible as healing completes over a few months.
