Otoplasty or Ear reshaping

​

Otoplasty is addressed to young and adult patients who have protruding or distorted ears.

​

This can be a consequence of a thick cartilage in the body of the ear or in the lobule or a combination of both.

​

Different techniques are available .The surgeon will determine which is the most suitable for your condition.

​

The procedure is done under local anesthesia with sedation in adults and general anesthesia for the children.

​

The skin incision is behind the ear so no visible scars.

​

A dressing like a helmet is applied for the first 4 days in order to protect the ears and then the patient can wear a tennis band for one week.
