Understanding the treatment
What Is
Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is surgery that changes the shape, position, or proportions of the outer ears. It is often considered when one or both ears project more than a person would like. Depending on the concern, cartilage can be reshaped or held in a new position with stitches, usually through an incision behind the ear.
The approach depends on the existing folds, cartilage, symmetry, and any previous injury or surgery. Otoplasty changes the outer ear’s appearance; it is not a treatment for hearing loss. Your surgeon will explain what can be adjusted and the degree of difference likely to remain between the ears.
Is it right for you?
Start with
your concern
—not a
treatment
package.
Your consultation explores what is bothering you, whether this treatment fits your needs, and when another option may be more appropriate.
THIS MAY BE WORTH EXPLORING IF
My ears project more than I would like.
One ear sits differently from the other.
I want to understand options for a fold or shape concern.
An old injury changed the appearance of my outer ear.
I would like to feel more comfortable wearing my hair up or short.
Active infection or unresolved ear symptoms need assessment first; treatment for a child requires a separate discussion of development, willingness, and specialist suitability.
What may improve
Benefits connected
to your goals.
Less prominence.
Suitable ears can be repositioned closer to the head with attention to a natural contour.
More balanced appearance.
The plan may improve a difference between the ears, although exact symmetry is unlikely.
Discreet incision planning.
Incisions are commonly positioned behind the ear, with scar expectations discussed beforehand.
More freedom of choice.
A considered change may help you feel more comfortable with the hairstyles you prefer.
Personal consultation
Pricing follows
the plan—not
the other way
around.
Your quote depends on whether one or both ears need treatment, the type of correction, previous surgery, anaesthesia, and facility requirements.
Ask for a written breakdown of the procedure, dressings or headbands, medicines, and follow-up. A consultation helps clarify the expected change and full cost before you choose to proceed.

Frequently asked questions
The operation concerns the outer ear’s shape and position and is not intended to improve hearing. Any hearing symptoms should be assessed separately before cosmetic treatment is considered.
Sometimes. Both ears still need assessment because the aim is a balanced relationship, and the best approach may involve different corrections on each side.
No exact symmetry can be promised. Small natural differences remain normal, and your surgeon will explain what degree of improvement is realistic for your anatomy.
Incisions are commonly placed behind the ear, where they are less visible from the front. Scars remain and may thicken or become noticeable, so placement and healing expectations should be discussed.
Some recurrence is possible as tissues heal or if the ear is injured. Following protection instructions matters, and persistent concerns should be reviewed after sufficient healing.
