Prominent Ear Correction

Prominent ear correction (also known as otoplasty or pinnaplasty) is an aesthetic surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the ears to align more smoothly with the individual’s facial features.

• It can create symmetry and balance between ears. 

• It can enhance self-esteem. 

• It can create a more aesthetic overall facial appearance. 

An otoplasty involves an incision behind the ear, followed by repositioning or removal of ear cartilage, and then pinning the ear back using suturing techniques. 

The recovery time for otoplasty is 1-2 weeks, and it will not normally require an overnight stay. To support correct healing, you may be required to wear a bandage around your head for 5-10 days, and a bandage at night to sleep for a few weeks afterwards. The final results are immediately visible and are long-lasting.
