Harmonizing Your Features with Aesthetic Ear Reshaping
Otoplasty, commonly known as ear surgery, is a procedure designed to alter the shape, position, or size of the ears. It can correct a variety of conditions, including overly large ears, protruding ears, or asymmetry. Our approach at Advanced Facial and Nasal Surgical Centre focuses on creating a natural appearance, with ears that are in proportion to the size and shape of the face and head. We use precise techniques to ensure minimal scarring and maintain the integrity of ear function.
The first step is a detailed consultation where we assess your ear structure and discuss your desired outcomes. This meeting is crucial for understanding your expectations and explaining the possibilities of otoplasty.
Based on your specific needs, we develop a personalized surgical plan. This plan takes into account the natural aesthetics of your ears and how they complement your overall facial features.
Our surgeons perform otoplasty with precision and care, focusing on achieving a balanced, symmetrical look. The procedure typically involves reshaping the cartilage and skin of the ears, ensuring they sit closer to the head or reducing their size for a more proportionate appearance.
We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and support throughout your recovery. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor your healing and ensure you are satisfied with the results, focusing on a smooth and comfortable recovery process.
Selecting Advanced Facial and Nasal Surgical Centre for your otoplasty means you are choosing a team committed to excellence in cosmetic ear surgery. Our detailed and patient-focused approach ensures that you receive not just surgical expertise but also a compassionate and understanding experience, resulting in ears that are aesthetically pleasing and harmonious with your overall appearance.

The recovery process after otoplasty generally involves a short period of rest and limited activity to allow for healing. Patients may experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with medication prescribed by the surgeon. A headband or protective dressing is often worn for the first week to support the new position of the ears and to protect them during sleep. Most patients can return to school or work within a week, though strenuous activities and sports should be avoided for at least a month. Swelling and bruising will diminish over the first few weeks, with final results visible within 1 to 2 months.
Otoplasty can be performed on children as young as 5 or 6 years old, the age at which the ears have typically reached their full size. Early treatment is often recommended to minimize potential emotional distress from teasing or self-consciousness during the formative school years. However, ear surgery is also commonly performed on teenagers and adults. The key consideration is the physical maturity of the ears and the patient’s emotional readiness and desire for the surgery. For all ages, otoplasty offers significant psychological and aesthetic benefits.
