Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
Otoplasty is not a single standard procedure. A suture-based approach and an approach that also works on the cartilage itself differ in what they change. The surgeon helps you choose at the consultation, after examining your ears.
Cartilage-modifying method
Also incises, scores or reduces cartilage
Price at consultation
- Main goal
- Reshape firmer or larger ear cartilage
- Best suited when
- Stitches alone are not enough for the shape
- Approach
- Cartilage thinned, scored or partly removed
Here the methods are described only in general terms. How much surgery is needed and how you recover depend on you as a patient, and the surgeon confirms both once your ears are examined and your wishes discussed.
The consultation is where the surgeon plans your case and explains the method selected.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Process
From your first message to recovery: six steps
Your coordinator stays in contact with you from beginning to end, and you know what each stage involves before it starts.
Online consultation and plan
You send your photos and speak online with the surgeon, who examines your case and discusses what can and cannot be changed. A plan with the price is then proposed.
Choosing and booking the date
You pick a suitable date with your coordinator once you are happy with the plan and the price, and you book only after the surgeon has confirmed everything.
Pre-operative preparation
A review of your medical history and medicines comes first, with photographs and standard tests as needed, all arranged by the surgeon. The surgeon alone instructs when blood-thinning medicines are stopped.
The operation
Local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed, is usual in adults and older teenagers. Younger children often have general anaesthesia. Usually the incision lies behind the ear, and the cartilage is reshaped with permanent stitches.
The first hours and days
Your head is dressed for the first days, and the team explains how you should sleep, on your back with the ears free of pressure, and what to watch for.
Recovery and follow-up
The surgeon schedules your follow-up. Meanwhile, you wear a soft headband day and night for the first weeks and then at night as instructed, as swelling and bruising settle over several weeks.
At the consultation, the surgeon talks you through how the operation goes in your case.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about otoplasty
Send clear photos of your ears to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp. The first consultation is free. After reviewing the photos, the surgeon talks with you online and proposes a plan.
The surgeon reshapes the ear cartilage, usually through an incision behind the ear, using permanent stitches and, where needed, thinning or scoring. Local anaesthesia is common in adults; younger children often have general anaesthesia.
First a head dressing covers the ears for the first days, followed by a soft headband for the first weeks. Many adults and children are back at work or school after about a week. Keep pressure off the ears and avoid contact sports and swimming for several weeks.
The scar is hidden because the incision is usually placed in the fold behind the ear. Each person scars in their own way, and visible or thickened scars can happen. The surgeon will go through this with you and ask about your tendency to scar.
Before you have surgery, the surgeon describes what can go wrong: bleeding or blood gathering under the skin, infection, asymmetry, scars that are visible or thickened, changed feeling in the skin, and the correction easing back in part over time.
The following may make surgery unsuitable or mean it needs clearing first: blood clotting disorders, active ear or skin infection, uncontrolled chronic illness, a tendency to keloid scarring, unrealistic expectations, and pregnancy until timing is confirmed.
Once the healing is over, the ears remain in their new shape. A small difference between the two is normal, and a little relaxation of the correction is possible in a small number of cases. The surgeon will discuss it with you before the operation.
Because every case is different, the price follows from your situation and the surgeon's proposed plan. It is confirmed after the assessment and before booking, so you have it before you make any decision.
