Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
There is no single standard otoplasty. A suture-based approach and one that also works on the cartilage itself change different things. At the consultation, once your ears have been examined, the surgeon helps you choose.
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.
A plan for your case is made at the consultation, and the surgeon explains the method that has been chosen.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Process
From your first message to recovery: six steps
Your coordinator stays in contact with you from beginning to end, and you know what each stage involves before it starts.
Online consultation and plan
You send photos and talk with the surgeon online. The surgeon examines your case, discusses what can and cannot be changed, and proposes a plan with the price.
Choosing and booking the date
Only after the surgeon has confirmed everything do you book. Before that, once you are happy with the plan and price, you choose a suitable date with your coordinator.
Pre-operative preparation
The surgeon takes photographs, reviews your medical history and medicines, and arranges any standard tests that are needed. Blood-thinning medicines are stopped solely 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
In the first days a head dressing stays in place. The team describes how to sleep, on your back and without pressure on the ears, and what to watch for.
Recovery and follow-up
A soft headband is needed day and night in the first weeks and afterwards at night, following the surgeon's instructions. Swelling and bruising settle over several weeks, and the surgeon arranges your follow-up.
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
Begin with a message to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp, including clear photos of your ears. The surgeon reviews the photos and talks with you online, then proposes a plan. The first consultation is free.
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.
A head dressing is worn for the first days and then replaced by a soft headband for the first weeks. After about a week, many adults and children return to work or school. For 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
