Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
Different approaches to otoplasty change different things: one relies on sutures, the other also works on the cartilage itself. You choose with the surgeon at the consultation, after the 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 outlined here in general terms only. Your own case determines the extent of surgery and your recovery, and the surgeon confirms both once they have examined your ears and discussed your wishes with you.
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
You are told about every stage beforehand, and a coordinator remains in contact with you the whole way through.
Online consultation and plan
Through photos and an online talk, the surgeon examines your case. What can and cannot be changed is discussed, and the surgeon proposes a plan with the price.
Choosing and booking the date
You book only once the surgeon has confirmed everything; once you are happy with the plan and the price, you choose a suitable date with your coordinator.
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
The incision is usually behind the ear, and permanent stitches reshape the cartilage. Local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed, is usual for adults and older teenagers; general anaesthesia is often chosen for younger children.
The first hours and days
You wear a head dressing for the first days. The team explains 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 worn day and night for the first weeks, then at night as the surgeon instructs. Swelling and bruising settle over several weeks, and the surgeon schedules your follow-up.
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
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.
Reshaping of the ear cartilage is done by the surgeon, typically through a cut behind the ear, with permanent stitches and, where needed, thinning or scoring. Adults commonly have local anaesthesia; for younger children general anaesthesia is often chosen.
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.
The scar is hidden because the incision is usually placed in the fold behind the ear. Each person scars in their own way, and visible or thickened scars can happen. The surgeon will go through this with you and ask about your tendency to scar.
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.
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.
Healed ears keep the shape they were given. The two ears will normally differ a little, and a small number of patients see the correction relax to some degree. The surgeon goes over this with you first.
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.
