Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
What an otoplasty changes depends on the approach. A suture-based approach and an approach that also works on the cartilage itself are not the same, and the surgeon helps you choose after examining your ears 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.
The surgeon uses the consultation to put together a plan for your case and to explain the method they have chosen.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Process
From your first message to recovery: six steps
Every stage is talked through with you before it happens, and you have a coordinator in touch with you throughout.
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
Having accepted the plan and the price, you settle on a suitable date with your coordinator. You do not book until the surgeon has confirmed everything.
Pre-operative preparation
The surgeon reviews your medical history and medicines, takes photographs and arranges standard tests as needed. Blood-thinning medicines are stopped only on the surgeon's instructions.
The operation
Most adults and older teenagers have local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed, and general anaesthesia is often chosen for younger children. Usually the incision is hidden behind the ear, and the cartilage is reshaped using permanent stitches.
The first hours and days
For the first days you have a head dressing on. The team tells you how to sleep, on your back with no pressure on the ears, 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.
You will hear from the surgeon at the consultation how the operation goes in your case.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

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.
In adults, local anaesthesia is common; younger children often have general anaesthesia. The surgeon reshapes the ear cartilage, usually through an incision behind the ear, with permanent stitches and, where needed, thinning or scoring.
The head dressing stays on for the first days, and a soft headband takes over for the first weeks. Work or school is resumed by many adults and children after about a week. Several weeks without pressure on the ears, contact sports or swimming are needed.
The incision is generally made in the fold behind the ear, which hides the scar. As people scar differently, a visible or thickened scar is possible. The surgeon discusses this with you and asks about any tendency you have to scar.
Ahead of surgery, the surgeon talks you through the possible risks. These are bleeding or a blood collection under the skin, infection, asymmetry, visible or thickened scars, changed sensation in the skin, and some loosening of the correction over time.
Clearing may be needed before surgery, or surgery may be unsuitable, with blood clotting disorders, an active infection of the ear or skin, uncontrolled chronic illness, a tendency to keloid scarring, unrealistic expectations, or pregnancy, where timing must be confirmed first.
The new shape of the ears is kept once they have healed. It is normal for the two ears to differ slightly, and in a small number of cases the correction may ease back somewhat. The surgeon discusses this with you before surgery.
The price depends on your own case and on the plan put forward by the surgeon. You are given it after the surgeon's assessment, before you book, so it is known before any decision is made.
