Otoplasty (Ear Correction)

What Is Otoplasty ? (Ear Correction)

Otoplasty is known for Ear Correction. Otoplasty  is a surgical procedure designed to correct protruding ears that appear disproportionate to the face. By reshaping the ear cartilage, the surgery enhances facial balance and boosts confidence—especially for individuals who feel self-conscious when tying their hair back.

 

During the procedure, an incision is made behind the ear to access and refine the cartilage, the key structure contributing to the ear’s prominence. The cartilage is then repositioned closer to the head, and additional contouring may be performed to create natural, harmonious proportions.

 

Otoplasty provides permanent results with a safe and noticeable improvement. Choosing a reputable clinic and an experienced surgeon is essential to ensure accurate assessment, proper technique selection, and the best aesthetic outcome.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Otoplasty

Otoplasty is suitable for individuals with various ear shape and structural concerns, including:

Protruding ears: When the ear-to-head angle exceeds 45–60 degrees, the cartilage can be sutured closer to the scalp to create a natural contour.

Asymmetrical ears: If the central cartilage is overly large, a portion can be trimmed and the ear repositioned for balanced, symmetrical proportions.

Ears that flare outward: When the outer ear edge bends forward abnormally, suturing the ear back toward the head helps restore harmony with the facial profile.

What can otoplasty (protruding ear surgery) help with?

It helps correct protruding ears, outward-flaring ears, and ears that are disproportionate to the head or appear unnatural.

It boosts confidence when styling hair and enhances overall appearance and personality.
