During otoplasty, the ear cartilage is reshaped and, if necessary, repositioned. This procedure can be carried out by bringing the ears closer to the head more tightly or giving them a more natural position. Otoplasty is typically performed during childhood or early adolescence, as the ears need to have completed their development. However, it can also be performed on adults.

Otoplasty can boost a person’s self-confidence and make them feel better about themselves. This procedure can serve as a solution for individuals who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their ears. To achieve better results, it’s important to communicate expectations clearly with the doctor before the otoplasty procedure.

Otoplasty surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. The duration of this operation is typically around 1 hour. The surgery begins with a specialized incision made behind the ear, allowing for the creation of the desired ear shape. Various permanent sutures are then used to shape the ear, and the procedure is completed.

Each of these variations offers customized treatments based on the individual’s personal needs and goals. To determine the most suitable technique and approach before undergoing otoplasty, please get in touch.
