Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
Two broad approaches exist, one based on sutures and one that also works on the cartilage itself, and they differ in what they change. Otoplasty is therefore not a single standard procedure; the surgeon examines your ears and helps you choose 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
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.
At the consultation you receive a plan built for your case, together with the surgeon's explanation of the method chosen.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

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
The consultation is online: you send photos and talk with the surgeon, who examines your case, discusses what can and cannot be changed, and proposes a plan and its 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
Preparation includes the surgeon reviewing your medical history and medicines, taking photographs and arranging standard tests as needed. You stop blood-thinning medicines only if the surgeon instructs you to.
The operation
Local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed, is usual in adults and older teenagers. Younger children often have general anaesthesia. Usually the incision lies behind the ear, and the cartilage is reshaped with permanent stitches.
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
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.
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
You message a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp and send clear photos of your ears. The surgeon reviews them, then talks with you online and proposes a plan, and the first consultation is free.
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.
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.
Because the incision usually lies in the fold behind the ear, the scar is concealed. Even so, scarring varies from person to person, and visible or thickened scars are possible. The surgeon will explain this and ask whether you tend to scar heavily.
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.
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.
After the ears have healed they keep their corrected shape. Both ears will not be identical, and small differences are normal; in a small number of cases the correction relaxes somewhat. Your surgeon raises this with you beforehand.
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.
