Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
Otoplasty varies from case to case. The suture-based approach and the approach that also works on the cartilage itself differ in their effect, and your choice is made with the surgeon at the consultation once your ears have been examined.
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
The methods are presented here in a general way. Surgery extent and recovery differ between patients, so the surgeon confirms both for you after examining your ears and discussing your wishes.
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.

You send photos of your ears to a coordinator in Telegram or WhatsApp, the surgeon reviews them and gives an opinion, and nothing obliges you to go ahead with surgery.

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
Online, you share photos and have a conversation with the surgeon. The surgeon looks at your case, explains what can and cannot be changed, and suggests a plan including the price.
Choosing and booking the date
Your coordinator helps you choose a suitable date once you are happy with the plan and the price; you book only when everything has been confirmed by the surgeon.
Pre-operative preparation
The surgeon looks through your medical history and the medicines you take, takes photographs, and arranges standard tests when needed. Do not stop blood-thinning medicines unless the surgeon instructs you to.
The operation
For adults and older teenagers, local anaesthesia is usual, with sedation if needed, while younger children often have general anaesthesia. The incision is usually made behind the ear, and permanent stitches reshape the cartilage.
The first hours and days
Expect to wear a head dressing for the first days. The team explains sleeping on your back, without pressure on the ears, and the signs to watch for.
Recovery and follow-up
For the first weeks a soft headband is worn day and night; after that it is worn at night as the surgeon instructs. The surgeon schedules your follow-up while swelling and bruising settle over several weeks.
The surgeon will explain, at the consultation, how the operation goes in your case.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about otoplasty
Message a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp and send clear photos of your ears. The first consultation is free. The surgeon reviews the photos, talks with you online and proposes a plan.
The surgeon reshapes the ear cartilage, usually through an incision behind the ear, with permanent stitches and, where needed, thinning or scoring. Adults commonly have local anaesthesia, while younger children often have general anaesthesia.
Expect a head dressing for the first days and a soft headband for the first weeks. About a week later, many adults and children return to work or school. For several weeks you should avoid pressure on the ears, contact sports and swimming.
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.
Prior to the operation, the surgeon explains the risks to you. They include bleeding or a blood collection under the skin, infection, asymmetry, visible or thickened scars, changed skin sensation and partial relaxation of the correction with time.
Surgery may be unsuitable or need clearing first with blood clotting disorders, active ear or skin infection, uncontrolled chronic illness, a tendency to keloid scarring, unrealistic expectations, or pregnancy until timing is confirmed.
Following healing, the new ear shape remains. Small differences between the ears are to be expected, and the correction can loosen somewhat in a small number of cases. The surgeon explains this to you 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.
