Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that corrects prominent, protruding, oversized or malformed ears. This intervention seeks to improve the symmetry and proportion of the ears, creating a more balanced and harmonious appearance in relation to the face.
Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that corrects deformities or asymmetries in the ears, such as prominent or “protruding” ears. Its objective is to reposition the ears so that they are closer and more proportionate, which improves facial harmony and increases self-esteem
what is the otoplasty operation like?
Otoplasty is generally performed under local anesthesia with sedation and lasts between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the patient’s needs. The incision is made behind the ear, allowing the cartilage to be reshaped to create natural folds or reduce its excess. After the correction, the skin adapts to the new structure and is sutured, leaving a virtually invisible scar
Recovery after otoplasty surgery
After surgery, it is normal to experience some discomfort and tension, which is easily controlled with painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. For the first few days, the ears will be swollen and may have a purplish tinge, which is common. The cotton swabs are removed after 3 to 5 days and the stitches after 8 to 10 days. Although the final result takes several months to be achieved, about a month after surgery the ears begin to look completely normal
The aesthetic impact of otoplasty improves the perception of your body image, so it is important to allow time to adjust to the new appearance.

Otoplasty, ear surgery
Otoplasty corrects prominent ears, restoring symmetry and harmony to the face.
No. They are independent. Otoplasty only acts at the external level.
The scar is usually reddish and slightly swollen during the first months. From the fourth or sixth month, it begins to fade progressively until it matches the surrounding skin tone. The possibility of infection is extremely rare. In some rare cases, the ears may become detached again, requiring surgical touch-up.
