Otoplasty (Prominent Ear Correction)

Shaping backwards, anatomically, ears that stand at a pronounced angle to the head and whose cartilage folds have not developed.

Surgical approach and technique

Through a concealed incision behind the ear, the antihelical fold is created in the cartilage with sutures. The ear-to-head angle is brought back within its natural limit.

Who is it for?

Suitable for children over the age of six and for adults troubled by the appearance of prominent ears.

Recovery

The dressings are removed within 3-5 days. The scar stays entirely within the crease behind the ear.

Back to desk work: approx. 3 days. Social recovery: approx. 10 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.
