Otoplasty, i.e., correction of protruding ears, is among the most common plastic surgeries in both children and adults. The goal of the surgery is to bring the ears closer to the head or adjust their shape, achieving a more harmonious facial appearance and increasing the patient's self-confidence.
Who is otoplasty suitable for?
- Children from 5 years old – ideally before starting school to prevent psychological stress from teasing
- Adults of any age – without upper age limit
- People with protruding ears, asymmetry or unwanted ear shape
Before surgery, a personal consultation is required, during which the surgeon evaluates the shape and position of the ears, explains the procedure and sets realistic expectations.
How does the surgery work?
- Local anesthesia – the procedure is painless and takes 1 to 2 hours
- The incision is made on the back of the ear, where a gentle cut is made
- The cartilage is adjusted and fixed with stitches closer to the head
- The patient goes home on the day of surgery
- No need to cut hair before surgery
Postoperative care and healing
- Initially, a fixation bandage is worn – continuously for 3 weeks
- After this period, a headband during sleep for about 1 month is recommended
- Pain is most pronounced in the first days – relieved with common analgesics
- The scar is discreet, it fades over time and becomes almost invisible
Otoplasty price
The price of the procedure is determined individually after personal consultation, depending on the extent of correction and possible bilateral procedure.
