Otoplasty (Ear Reduction)

Otoplasty reshapes or repositions the ears to create a more balanced and natural appearance, often addressing prominent ears.

How Is This Procedure Performed?

Typically performed under local or general anaesthesia, incisions are made behind the ear to reshape cartilage and reposition the ear closer to the head.

Downtime

Patients usually resume normal activities within a week, with protective dressings worn initially.

Scars

Scars are hidden behind the ears and are generally not visible.

Risks and complications

Risks may include infection, asymmetry, recurrence of prominence, and changes in sensation.
