What does the procedure involve?
Otoplasty modifies the position or shape of the ear to reduce its projection or improve symmetry. The goal is for the ears to stop drawing attention without looking operated on.
When do we recommend it?
- Prominent ears.
- Visible asymmetries between the two ears.
- Long-standing aesthetic discomfort.
- Desire for a natural, stable correction.
Facial approach
Measured correction, not overcorrection
Planning aims for a balanced result, avoiding an ear that looks excessively pinned back or artificial.
Recovery overview
First days
Local protection
A bandage or headband is used depending on the case and the technique applied.
Week 1
Controlled swelling
Daily life usually resumes soon, while avoiding any trauma to the ears.
Weeks 3-4
A cleaner result
The ears look more natural as the residual swelling subsides.
Frequently asked questions
Is it very painful?
