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
What you read here about the methods is general. The extent of surgery and your recovery vary from patient to patient, and the surgeon confirms them after an examination of your ears and a discussion of your wishes.
A plan for your case is made at the consultation, and the surgeon explains the method that has been chosen.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Not sure which column applies to you?
You send photos of your ears to a coordinator in Telegram or WhatsApp, the surgeon reviews them and gives an opinion, and nothing obliges you to go ahead with surgery.

Process
From your first message to recovery: six steps
Throughout the process a coordinator stays in touch with you, and every stage is explained to you ahead of time.
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
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 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
Your head is dressed for the first days, and the team explains how you should sleep, on your back with the ears free of pressure, and what to watch for.
Recovery and follow-up
Your follow-up is scheduled by the surgeon, while a soft headband is worn day and night for the first weeks and then at night as instructed. Swelling and bruising settle over several weeks.
The consultation is where the surgeon explains how the operation goes in your particular 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.
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.
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.
The incision is usually made in the fold behind the ear, so the scar is hidden. Scars differ between people, and visible or thickened scars are possible. The surgeon explains this and asks about your scarring tendency.
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.
Following healing, the new ear shape remains. Small differences between the ears are to be expected, and the correction can loosen somewhat in a small number of cases. The surgeon explains this to you beforehand.
Depending on your individual case and the proposed plan, the surgeon's assessment leads to a confirmed price. This happens before you book, so the price is clear before you decide.
