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
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.
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
Before each stage begins, it is explained to you; throughout, your coordinator stays in contact.
Online consultation and plan
You send photos and talk with the surgeon online. The surgeon examines your case, discusses what can and cannot be changed, and proposes a plan 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
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
Younger children often have general anaesthesia, whereas adults and older teenagers usually have local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed. The incision is usually behind the ear; permanent stitches reshape the cartilage.
The first hours and days
You will have a head dressing for the first days, and the team explains what to watch for and how to sleep: on your back, keeping pressure off the ears.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling and bruising settle over several weeks. During that time you wear a soft headband day and night at first, then at night as the surgeon instructs, and the surgeon schedules your follow-up.
How the operation goes in your case is something the surgeon will explain at the consultation.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about otoplasty
Send clear photos of your ears to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp. The first consultation is free. After reviewing the photos, the surgeon talks with you online and proposes 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.
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.
The scar is hidden because the incision is usually placed in the fold behind the ear. Each person scars in their own way, and visible or thickened scars can happen. The surgeon will go through this with you and ask about your tendency to scar.
Ahead of surgery, the surgeon talks you through the possible risks. These are bleeding or a blood collection under the skin, infection, asymmetry, visible or thickened scars, changed sensation in the skin, and some loosening of the correction over time.
Blood clotting disorders, an active ear or skin infection, uncontrolled chronic illness, a tendency to keloid scarring, unrealistic expectations, and pregnancy (until timing is confirmed) may mean surgery is not suitable or must be cleared first.
Healed ears keep the shape they were given. The two ears will normally differ a little, and a small number of patients see the correction relax to some degree. The surgeon goes over this with you first.
The surgeon's assessment comes first, and the price is confirmed after it, before you book. It depends on your individual case and the plan the surgeon proposes, so you know it before any decision.
