What You Need to Know About Otoplasty

For some, ears can be a source of self-consciousness, but with otoplasty—also known as ear reshaping surgery—you can achieve a balanced, harmonious look that brings out your natural beauty. Here’s a quick look at how otoplasty can help you feel great about your appearance.

 

What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape, reposition, or resize your ears. Whether they’re a bit too prominent, asymmetrical, or have unique features due to genetics or injury, otoplasty can oer a customized solution. The procedure is suitable for both children (ages five and up) and adults, providing a permanent enhancement to your facial profile.

The Procedure

Performed under local or general anesthesia, otoplasty involves a small incision behind the ear to access and reshape the cartilage. The surgery usually takes about one to two hours, and patients can return home the same day, ready to begin the next chapter with confidence.

 

Recovery and Results

After your otoplasty, here’s what you can look forward to during the healing process:

  • Quick Recovery: While some swelling and bruising are normal in the first few days, these will diminish soon.

  • Support and Care: Wearing a headband as recommended helps ensure the best results as your ears heal.

  • Back to Your Routine: Most people are ready to return to their regular activities within a week.

  •  Beautiful, Lasting Change: Check out the before and after photos for a glimpse of what’s possible!
