Otoplasty

Otoplasty is a specialized cosmetic surgery that corrects ear deformities by reshaping cartilage to improve ear position, size, and symmetry. Typically performed as an outpatient procedure, it involves incisions behind the ears to minimize visible scarring. This surgery is ideal for individuals with ears that protrude excessively or have irregular shapes, offering a lasting solution that enhances facial balance. Both children and adults can benefit from otoplasty, as it not only improves physical appearance but also addresses emotional concerns related to self-esteem and social confidence. Recovery usually takes a few weeks, allowing patients to return to normal activities with renewed assurance.

Ear deformities include a variety of issues such as protruding ears, asymmetry, unusually large ears, or congenital malformations that affect appearance and sometimes function. These conditions may cause psychological distress, especially in children who face social challenges or bullying due to their ear shape. Causes can range from genetic factors to injuries or birth defects. Otoplasty offers a safe and effective way to address these deformities, restoring a natural look while improving symmetry and proportion. Early intervention in children can prevent long-term emotional impacts, while adults can achieve enhanced confidence and satisfaction with their appearance through this surgical correction.
