Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
The operation is not one fixed procedure. Suture-based reshaping and an approach that also treats the cartilage itself differ in their effects, and the surgeon helps you choose between them once your ears have been examined 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
Because the methods are described here only in general terms, the extent of surgery and your recovery are confirmed separately: the surgeon does this after examining your ears and discussing your wishes, since both depend on you.
The surgeon plans your case at the consultation and takes you through the method chosen.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Process
From your first message to recovery: six steps
Nothing is left unexplained: every stage is described in advance, and your coordinator is in touch with you at all times.
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
The date is chosen with your coordinator after you are happy with the plan and the price. Booking comes last, once the surgeon has confirmed everything.
Pre-operative preparation
As needed, the surgeon arranges standard tests, and also reviews your medical history and medicines and takes photographs. Stopping blood-thinning medicines happens only on the surgeon's instructions.
The operation
The usual choice for adults and older teenagers is local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed; for younger children, general anaesthesia is often chosen. Behind the ear is where the incision is usually placed, and permanent stitches reshape the cartilage.
The first hours and days
The team explains how to sleep, on your back and without pressure on the ears, and what to watch for; in the first days you wear a head dressing.
Recovery and follow-up
Over several weeks the swelling and bruising settle. You wear a soft headband day and night for the first weeks, then at night as the surgeon instructs, and the surgeon schedules your follow-up.
During the consultation the surgeon explains how the operation will go 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.
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.
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.
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.
Certain conditions can rule surgery out or require clearing first. These are blood clotting disorders, active ear or skin infection, uncontrolled chronic illness, a tendency to keloid scarring, unrealistic expectations, and pregnancy until the timing is confirmed.
Once healed, the ears keep their new shape. Small differences between the two ears are normal, and in a small number of cases the correction can relax somewhat. The surgeon discusses 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.
