What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping or repositioning the ears to alter their appearance. It is commonly performed to correct protruding ears, which can cause self-consciousness or bullying in children and adults. The procedure can involve removing excess cartilage or skin, folding the ear into a more natural position, and securing it in place. Otoplasty can be performed on children as young as five years old, as their ears are typically fully developed by that age, but it is also suitable for adults seeking to address their ear shape. The surgery is usually outpatient, and recovery time varies, with patients generally returning to normal activities within a week.

Who May Benefit

Children with prominent or misshapen ears.
Adults desiring improved ear appearance.
Individuals with asymmetrical ears or sustained ear trauma.

How is the procedure performed?

Anaesthesia Administration

The procedure begins with the administration of anaesthesia, which may be local or general, depending on the patient's age and comfort level.

Anaesthesia

Incision and Cannula Insertion

The surgeon makes incisions behind the ear to hide scars. This allows access to the cartilage and tissue of the ear.

Ear Reshaping

Excess cartilage or skin may be removed, and the ear is folded into a more natural position, secured with stitches or sutures.

  • Light activities resume in a week; avoid strenuous exercise for weeks.
  • Bandages are worn for a few days, with follow-ups to monitor healing.
  • Final results appear in a few months.

What are the Risks?

Otoplasty carries several risks that patients should consider. There is a possibility of infection at the incision sites, which may require medical treatment. Scarring or noticeable changes in ear shape can also occur, potentially affecting the desired aesthetic outcome. Additionally, some patients may experience asymmetry or irregularities after surgery, which may necessitate further correction.

What are the Costs?

The cost of otoplasty varies based on several factors, including the surgeon’s fee, facility charges, and anaesthesia costs. Additional expenses such as pre-operative consultations, post-operative care, and required medications can also influence the overall price. Many clinics offer financing options to help make the procedure more affordable. For an accurate estimate and to discuss payment solutions, please contact the clinic directly.
