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
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 draws up a plan for your case at the consultation and explains the chosen method.

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
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 goes over your medical history and medicines, takes photographs, and arranges standard tests where needed. Blood-thinning medicines are never stopped unless the surgeon says so.
The operation
Permanent stitches are used to reshape the cartilage, through an incision that is usually behind the ear. Adults and older teenagers usually have local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed, and younger children often have general anaesthesia.
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
After the first weeks of wearing a soft headband day and night, you wear it at night as the surgeon instructs. Swelling and bruising ease over several weeks, and a follow-up is scheduled by the surgeon.
Your surgeon will explain at the consultation how the operation proceeds 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.
Ear cartilage is reshaped by the surgeon, normally via an incision behind the ear. Permanent stitches hold the shape, and thinning or scoring is added where needed. Local anaesthesia is common in adults, general anaesthesia in younger children.
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.
The surgeon covers these points with you before surgery: bleeding or a blood collection under the skin, infection, asymmetry, visible or thickened scars, altered skin sensation, and a partial relaxing of the correction over time.
The operation may not be right for you, or may need clearing first, in the case of blood clotting disorders, active infection in the ear or skin, uncontrolled chronic illness, keloid scarring tendency, unrealistic expectations, or pregnancy before the timing is confirmed.
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.
Price is set by your individual case and the plan the surgeon suggests. You receive confirmation after the surgeon's assessment and ahead of booking, so nothing is decided before you know it.
