Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
The operation is not one fixed procedure. Suture-based reshaping and an approach that also treats the cartilage itself differ in their effects, and the surgeon helps you choose between them once your ears have been examined at the consultation.
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
Only a general description of the methods is given here. Both the extent of surgery and your recovery depend on you, and the surgeon settles them after examining your ears and hearing what you want.
In the consultation the surgeon works out a plan for you and explains why and how the chosen method is used.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Process
From your first message to recovery: six steps
Before each stage begins, it is explained to you; throughout, your coordinator stays in contact.
Online consultation and plan
Photos and an online conversation with the surgeon come first. The surgeon examines your case, discusses the limits of what can be changed, and proposes a plan and the price.
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
Younger children often have general anaesthesia, whereas adults and older teenagers usually have local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed. The incision is usually behind the ear; permanent stitches reshape the cartilage.
The first hours and days
During the first days your head is covered with a dressing. The team goes through how to sleep, on your back and without pressure on the ears, and what to watch for.
Recovery and follow-up
You wear a soft headband day and night for the first weeks, and then at night as the surgeon instructs. Swelling and bruising settle over several weeks, and your follow-up is scheduled by the surgeon.
In your consultation, the surgeon describes how the operation goes for you.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

The surgeon does not propose anything until your ears have been examined and your wishes heard. The method and the extent of the surgery are worked out for your case, rather than taken from a template.
Clear explanations before you decide
Before you decide to book, the surgeon describes in plain words what recovery involves, what you should avoid and which risks may arise. You may ask any question.
A free first consultation
An online talk with the surgeon, based on photos you send by messenger, forms the first consultation. It is free, and you do not have to go on to have surgery.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about otoplasty
A coordinator is available on Telegram or WhatsApp; send them clear photos of your ears. The first consultation is free, and the surgeon, having reviewed the photos, discusses a plan with you online.
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.
Head dressing first, for the first days; soft headband next, for the first weeks. Many adults and children return to work or school after about a week. Throughout several weeks, avoid pressure on the ears, contact sports and swimming.
Behind the ear, in the natural fold, is where the incision is usually made, hiding the scar. Healing is not the same for everyone, and a scar may be visible or thickened. Expect the surgeon to explain this and to ask about your scarring history.
Expect the surgeon to explain, before surgery, the risks of bleeding or a blood collection under the skin, infection, asymmetry, visible or thickened scars, changed skin sensation, and the correction partly relaxing 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.
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.
The surgeon's assessment comes first, and the price is confirmed after it, before you book. It depends on your individual case and the plan the surgeon proposes, so you know it before any decision.
