Otoplasty
Correcting ear shape, size or position for a more harmonious contour.
About the Procedure
Otoplasty
Otoplasty corrects prominent, asymmetric ears or shapes that bother the patient, repositioning the cartilage for a result more in harmony with the rest of the face.
It is indicated for both adults and, in some cases, children from a certain age onward, always after individual assessment.
The technique is defined by the ear's anatomical characteristics — excess projection, absent natural cartilage folds, or asymmetries.
What to Consider
- — Assessment of cartilage and degree of ear projection.
- — Scar placed behind the ear, virtually imperceptible.
- — Use of a compression band or dressing during the first days.
- — Post-operative follow-up with a direct concierge channel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about otoplasty
Is the otoplasty scar visible?
No — the incision is behind the ear, hidden in the natural fold.
Is there a minimum age for otoplasty?
For children, cartilage development is usually allowed to progress first; the exact indication is discussed case by case.
Is the result permanent?
Yes, cartilage repositioning tends to remain stable over a lifetime.
