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
The methods are presented here in a general way. Surgery extent and recovery differ between patients, so the surgeon confirms both for you after examining your ears and discussing your wishes.
Your plan is built by the surgeon at the consultation, who also explains the method chosen.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Process
From your first message to recovery: six steps
Each stage is explained in advance, and a coordinator stays in touch with you throughout.
Online consultation and plan
Online, you share photos and have a conversation with the surgeon. The surgeon looks at your case, explains what can and cannot be changed, and suggests a plan including 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
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
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
For the first days you have a head dressing on. The team tells you how to sleep, on your back with no pressure on the ears, and what to watch for.
Recovery and follow-up
You wear a soft headband day and night for the first weeks, and then at night as the surgeon instructs. Swelling and bruising settle over several weeks, and your follow-up is scheduled by the surgeon.
At the consultation the surgeon will explain how the operation goes in your case.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

An online talk with the surgeon, based on photos you send by messenger, forms the first consultation. It is free, and you do not have to go on to have surgery.

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.
The surgeon makes an incision, usually behind the ear, and reshapes the cartilage with permanent stitches, adding thinning or scoring where needed. Local anaesthesia is a common choice in adults, and general anaesthesia is often used for younger children.
Expect a head dressing for the first days and a soft headband for the first weeks. About a week later, many adults and children return to work or school. For several weeks you should avoid pressure on the ears, contact sports and swimming.
Usually the surgeon works through a cut in the fold behind the ear, so the scar sits out of view. Scars vary between individuals, and it is possible for one to be visible or thickened. You will be told about this and asked about how you 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.
If you have a clotting disorder, an active infection of the ear or nearby skin, a chronic illness that is not under control, a tendency towards keloid scarring, or unrealistic expectations, surgery may be unsuitable or need clearing first. The same applies in pregnancy until timing is confirmed.
Once the healing is over, the ears remain in their new shape. A small difference between the two is normal, and a little relaxation of the correction is possible in a small number of cases. The surgeon will discuss it with you before the operation.
You will know the price before making any decision: it depends on your case and the surgeon's proposed plan, and it is confirmed after the assessment and before you book.
