Frequently asked questions

-
What is otoplasty? -
Otoplasty is ear surgery designed to reshape, reposition, or reduce the size of the ears to improve facial balance and appearance. It is commonly performed to correct protruding ears.
-
Who is a good candidate for otoplasty? -
Good candidates include children (usually from age 5–6) and adults who are in good health and want to correct prominent, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears.
-
Is otoplasty a painful procedure? -
Otoplasty is usually performed under local or general anesthesia, so patients do not feel pain during surgery. Mild discomfort or swelling may occur after the procedure but is manageable with prescribed medication.
-
How long is the recovery after ear surgery? -
Most patients return to daily activities within about a week. A protective headband is usually worn for several weeks to support healing and maintain the new ear position.
-
Are the results of otoplasty permanent? -
Yes, otoplasty results are typically permanent because the cartilage is reshaped and stabilized during surgery.
-
Will there be visible scars after otoplasty? -
Incisions are usually placed behind the ear, making scars minimally visible. Over time, they typically fade and become difficult to notice.
