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
This page describes the methods in general terms. The extent of the operation and your recovery are individual, and the surgeon confirms both after examining your ears and talking through your wishes.
The surgeon draws up a plan for your case at the consultation and explains the chosen method.
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
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
Having accepted the plan and the price, you settle on a suitable date with your coordinator. You do not book until the surgeon has confirmed everything.
Pre-operative preparation
The surgeon goes over your medical history and medicines, takes photographs, and arranges standard tests where needed. Blood-thinning medicines are never stopped unless the surgeon says so.
The operation
The incision is usually behind the ear, and permanent stitches reshape the cartilage. Local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed, is usual for adults and older teenagers; general anaesthesia is often chosen for younger children.
The first hours and days
Expect to wear a head dressing for the first days. The team explains sleeping on your back, without pressure on the ears, and the signs to watch for.
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.
Your surgeon will explain at the consultation how the operation proceeds in your case.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about otoplasty
Write to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp and send clear photos of your ears. The first consultation is free. The surgeon looks at the photos, speaks with you online and puts forward a plan.
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.
Many adults and children return to work or school after about a week. You wear a head dressing for the first days, then a soft headband for the first weeks, and you avoid pressure on the ears, contact sports and swimming for several weeks.
Because the incision usually lies in the fold behind the ear, the scar is concealed. Even so, scarring varies from person to person, and visible or thickened scars are possible. The surgeon will explain this and ask whether you tend to scar heavily.
You will hear about these risks from the surgeon before the operation: bleeding or a collection of blood under the skin, infection, asymmetry, visible or thickened scarring, a change in skin sensation, and the correction partly relaxing as time passes.
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.
When healing is complete, the ears stay in their new shape. Slight differences between the ears are normal, and in a few cases some relaxation of the correction can occur. You will talk about this with the surgeon beforehand.
The price depends on your individual case and the plan the surgeon proposes. It is confirmed after the surgeon's assessment and before you book, so you know it before making any decision.
