What is otoplasty (ear reshaping)?
Otoplasty is a refined surgical procedure designed to correct prominent or asymmetrical ears by reshaping the cartilage and repositioning the ear closer to the head.
The procedure is performed through discreet incisions placed behind the ear, leaving no visible scars.
By recreating natural ear folds and improving ear projection, otoplasty restores facial balance while maintaining a natural, unoperated appearance.
Clarity First
How it works
01
Local anaesthesia
Ears are numbed with local anaesthesia; light sedation can be added for comfort.
02
Incision
A small incision is placed in the crease behind the ear to expose the cartilage.
03
Cartilage shaping
Cartilage is folded or trimmed and secured with sutures to bring the ear closer and refine the fold.
04
Recovery
Dissolvable stitches; protective headband as advised. Swelling settles in weeks; definition refines over 1–3 months.
Benefits
Why choose otoplasty?
01
Improves facial balance — reduces ear prominence to create a more harmonious and proportionate facial profile.
02
Corrects asymmetry — addresses differences in ear shape, size, or position for a more symmetrical appearance.
03
Hidden incisions — all incisions are placed discreetly behind the ear, leaving no visible scarring.
04
Long-lasting results — cartilage is reshaped and stabilized with durable sutures, providing permanent and confidence-enhancing outcomes.
Who is a candidate for otoplasty?
Otoplasty may be recommended for individuals who:
- Have prominent ears due to overdeveloped or insufficiently folded cartilage
- Experience asymmetry in ear shape, size, or position
- Have congenital ear shape variations affecting facial balance
- Have ear deformities caused by trauma or injury
