Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
Otoplasty is not a single standard operation. The suture-based approach and the approach that also works on the cartilage differ in what they change, so the surgeon examines your ears at the consultation and 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
In general terms, this is how the methods work. For you personally, the extent of surgery and your recovery depend on your case, and the surgeon confirms both 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
You are told about every stage beforehand, and a coordinator remains in contact with you the whole way through.
Online consultation and plan
After you send photos and speak with the surgeon online, the surgeon examines your case. You discuss what can and cannot be changed, 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
Before surgery the surgeon reviews your history and medicines, photographs the ears and arranges standard tests as needed. Blood-thinning medicines are stopped only when the surgeon instructs.
The operation
Anaesthesia is usually local for adults and older teenagers, with sedation if needed, and often general for younger children. The surgeon usually cuts behind the ear and reshapes the cartilage with permanent stitches.
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
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.
The surgeon uses the consultation to explain how the operation goes in your case.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about otoplasty
Contact a coordinator through Telegram or WhatsApp and attach clear photos of your ears. There is no charge for the first consultation. The surgeon studies the photos, speaks with you online and offers a plan.
Through an incision that is usually behind the ear, the surgeon reshapes the cartilage. Permanent stitches are used, along with thinning or scoring where needed. Adults often have local anaesthesia, and younger children often have general anaesthesia.
You wear a head dressing for the first days, then a soft headband for the first weeks. Many adults and children return to work or school after about a week. Avoid pressure on the ears, contact sports and swimming for several weeks.
In most cases the incision is made in the fold behind the ear, so the scar is not easy to see. Not everyone scars alike, and a scar may turn out visible or thickened. The surgeon explains this and asks you about your tendency to scar.
Before you have surgery, the surgeon describes what can go wrong: bleeding or blood gathering under the skin, infection, asymmetry, scars that are visible or thickened, changed feeling in the skin, and the correction easing back in part over time.
The following may make surgery unsuitable or mean it needs clearing first: blood clotting disorders, active ear or skin infection, uncontrolled chronic illness, a tendency to keloid scarring, unrealistic expectations, and pregnancy until timing is confirmed.
After healing, the ears hold their new shape. Minor differences between the two ears are normal, and occasionally the correction relaxes a little. The surgeon talks this over with you in advance.
The surgeon's plan and your individual case shape the price. After the surgeon has assessed you, and before you book, the price is confirmed, so you are informed before deciding anything.
