Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
No single standard procedure covers every ear. Suture-based methods and methods that also work on the cartilage itself differ in what they alter, and the surgeon guides your choice 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 surgeon plans your case at the consultation and takes you through the method chosen.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Photos of your ears, sent to a coordinator in Telegram or WhatsApp, are reviewed by the surgeon, who gives an opinion. There is no commitment to surgery.

Process
From your first message to recovery: six steps
The steps are explained to you in advance, one stage at a time, while a coordinator keeps in contact with you throughout.
Online consultation and plan
First you send photos and speak with the surgeon online. The surgeon then examines your case, goes through what can and cannot be changed, and puts forward a plan together with the price.
Choosing and booking the date
You book only once the surgeon has confirmed everything; once you are happy with the plan and the price, you choose a suitable date with your coordinator.
Pre-operative preparation
Standard tests are arranged as needed, and the surgeon reviews your medical history and medicines and takes photographs. You stop blood-thinning medicines only on the surgeon's instructions.
The operation
Adults and older teenagers usually have local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed. General anaesthesia is often chosen for younger children. The incision is usually behind the ear, and the cartilage is reshaped with permanent stitches.
The first hours and days
You wear a head dressing for the first days. The team explains how to sleep, on your back and without pressure on the ears, and what to watch for.
Recovery and follow-up
The surgeon instructs you to wear a soft headband day and night for the first weeks, then at night. Swelling and bruising settle over several weeks, and the surgeon schedules your follow-up.
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
Start by messaging a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp with clear photos of your ears. The first consultation costs nothing. The surgeon reviews the photos, talks with you online and suggests a plan.
The operation involves reshaping the ear cartilage through an incision that is usually placed behind the ear. The surgeon uses permanent stitches and, where needed, thins or scores the cartilage. Adults often receive local anaesthesia; younger children often receive general anaesthesia.
In the first days you have a head dressing; in the first weeks, a soft headband. Many adults and children go back to work or school after about a week, but for several weeks pressure on the ears, contact sports and swimming should be avoided.
The cut is normally placed in the crease behind the ear, which keeps the scar out of sight. People scar differently, so a visible or thickened scar can occur. The surgeon talks this through and asks how your skin tends to scar.
The surgeon will explain the following before the operation: bleeding or blood collecting under the skin, infection, asymmetry, visible or thickened scars, altered skin sensation, and the correction relaxing in part with time.
Some situations make surgery unsuitable or call for clearance first: blood clotting disorders, active infection of the ear or surrounding skin, uncontrolled chronic illness, a keloid scarring tendency, unrealistic expectations, and pregnancy until the timing is confirmed.
When healing is complete, the ears stay in their new shape. Slight differences between the ears are normal, and in a few cases some relaxation of the correction can occur. You will talk about this with the surgeon beforehand.
What you pay depends on your individual case and the surgeon's proposed plan. The price is confirmed once the surgeon has assessed you and before you book, which means you know it before deciding.
