Otoplasty
Correct Protruding or Misshapen Ears With Otoplasty
Otoplasty, commonly known as ear correction surgery, is a procedure designed to improve the shape, position, or proportion of the ears. Prominent, asymmetrical, or unusually shaped ears can draw unwanted attention and affect self-confidence, especially in social or professional settings.
Otoplasty focuses on creating natural-looking ears that sit in harmony with the rest of the face. The procedure reshapes or repositions the ear cartilage to achieve better balance while preserving a natural appearance.
Whether performed for adults or adolescents, otoplasty aims to deliver subtle correction rather than dramatic change. The goal is to help the ears blend naturally with facial features, allowing individuals to feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance.
Are You the Right Candidate?
- You may be a suitable candidate for otoplasty if you:
- Have prominent ears that stick out
- Notice asymmetry between both ears
- Are unhappy with ear shape or folds
- Feel self-conscious about your ears
- Want a permanent corrective solution
Otoplasty is suitable for individuals seeking natural correction that improves balance without altering facial expressions.
How This Procedure Works
Otoplasty involves reshaping or repositioning the ear cartilage to create a more balanced and proportionate appearance. During consultation, ear anatomy, cartilage structure, symmetry, and head-ear relationship are carefully evaluated to plan the correction.
Incisions are typically placed behind the ear, keeping scars well hidden. The cartilage is then reshaped, folded, or secured into a more natural position. The procedure is designed to achieve symmetry while maintaining a natural ear contour. Careful surgical planning ensures results that look refined and stable over time.
What Affects the Cost?
The cost of otoplasty depends on the extent of correction required, whether one or both ears are treated, and the complexity of cartilage reshaping. Surgical time, anesthesia, and facility charges also influence pricing. A transparent and personalised cost estimate is provided after consultation.

Your Recovery Experience
Recovery after otoplasty is generally smooth and well tolerated. Mild swelling, soreness, or tightness around the ears is expected in the initial days and gradually reduces over time. A protective dressing or headband is usually worn for a short period to support healing and maintain ear position.
Most patients return to routine daily activities within a week, while strenuous activities are typically avoided for a few weeks. As swelling subsides, the ears settle into their new position and contours become more refined.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure stable, symmetrical results. With proper care, otoplasty offers long-lasting improvement in ear appearance and overall facial balance.
