Otoplasty corrects ears that stick out, are uneven, or appear overly large, repositioning and reshaping the cartilage for more proportionate, natural-looking ears. It's a simple outpatient procedure suitable for both adults and children over the age of 5, with long-lasting, confidence-boosting results.

Technique & Recovery
Otoplasty reshapes the cartilage itself, typically through a hidden incision behind the ear, and takes roughly 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on whether one or both ears are treated. A padded headband is worn for about a week to protect the new shape while the ears heal, then only at night for several more weeks. Because cartilage doesn't change with age the way skin does, results are considered permanent once fully healed.
