Why Consider Ear Reshaping Surgery?

Otoplasty addresses multiple ear-related concerns, including:

• Reducing prominently protruding ears

• Improving ear symmetry
• Enhancing patient self-confidence

Ideal Candidates for Otoplasty

Suitable patients for ear reshaping surgery typically include individuals who are:

• Non-smokers
• Generally healthy
• Free from untreated infections
• Possessing realistic surgical expectations

Otoplasty Procedure Overview

Ear surgeries generally last between 2-3 hours, depending on complexity. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week, with full recovery taking approximately one month.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical patients will experience mild to moderate discomfort, typically managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Surgical scars are discretely hidden behind the ear, ensuring minimal visible evidence of the procedure.
