How is Otoplasty performed?
The surgery involves making small incisions, usually on the back of the ears. Through these, the surgeon reshapes the cartilage to reposition the ears closer to the head or improve their form.
The incisions are hidden behind the ear, making scars barely visible. It is a personalized procedure based on each patient’s anatomy.
Candidate for Otoplasty
A good candidate for Otoplasty is someone who is unhappy with the appearance of their ears due to prominence, asymmetry, or deformity and is seeking a permanent change.
Otoplasty recovery
After surgery, it is normal to experience mild swelling, sensitivity, and some discomfort. The use of a band or dressing is recommended to protect and maintain the new ear position during the first few days.
Recovery is usually quick, and most patients can return to their daily activities within a short time.
What can you expect from an Otoplasty?
The result is an improvement in the position and shape of the ears, achieving a more balanced appearance with the face. A subtle yet significant change, especially in facial harmony.
Many patients also experience increased confidence.
Otoplasty results
