Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure designed to correct ears that are prominent, misshapen, or positioned too far from the head. It is commonly performed to create better facial symmetry and reduce the self-consciousness associated with noticeable ear shape—especially among children.
During the procedure, the cartilage is reshaped or repositioned, achieving natural and balanced proportions. Because incisions are discreetly placed behind the ear, any scarring is barely visible.
Recovery is typically quick, with most patients returning to daily life soon after. The outcome is permanent, leading to improved confidence, comfort in hairstyles, and a more harmonious overall appearance.
