Why do people have ear correction surgery?
The most common issues that ear correction surgery can address include:
Prominent or protruding ears
This refers to ears that stick out excessively from the head. Otoplasty can reshape the cartilage and bring the ears closer to the head for a more balanced appearance.
Large ears
If the size of the ears is disproportionate to the rest of the facial features, we can perform ear reduction surgery to reduce their size.
Deformed ears
Ear correction surgery can also correct various ear deformities. This includes constricted or cupped ears (where the outer rim of the ear is abnormally shaped), lop ear (when the top of the ear folds downward), or shell ear (when the curve in the outer rim is missing).
How is surgery performed?
Ear correction surgery, or otoplasty, is typically performed using the following steps:
Anaesthesia:
Incision placement:
Cartilage reshaping:
Stitching and securing:
Incision closure:
Dressing and bandaging:

The specific details of the procedure may vary depending on the individual’s unique ear anatomy and the extent of correction required. It’s important to book a consultation with us so we can evaluate your specific situation, discuss the procedure in detail, and address any concerns or questions you may have.
Ear Surgery Recovery time
Recovery time varies from person to person. Generally, there may be some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort after the surgery. We may ask you to wear a bandage or head wrap for a week or two to protect the ears during the initial healing phase. It’s important to follow the post-operative instructions. This may include avoiding certain activities and wearing a headband at night to prevent unintentional bending or trauma to the ears.
