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
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.
In the consultation the surgeon works out a plan for you and explains why and how the chosen method is used.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

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
Each stage is explained in advance, and a coordinator stays in touch with you throughout.
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
If the plan and the price are acceptable to you, your coordinator helps you choose a suitable date. The booking is made only when the surgeon has confirmed everything.
Pre-operative preparation
As needed, the surgeon arranges standard tests, and also reviews your medical history and medicines and takes photographs. Stopping blood-thinning medicines happens only on the surgeon's instructions.
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
In the first days a head dressing stays in place. The team describes how to sleep, on your back and without pressure on the ears, and what to watch for.
Recovery and follow-up
A soft headband is needed day and night in the first weeks and afterwards at night, following the surgeon's instructions. Swelling and bruising settle over several weeks, and the surgeon arranges 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 reshapes the ear cartilage, usually through an incision behind the ear, using permanent stitches and, where needed, thinning or scoring. Local anaesthesia is common in adults; younger children often have general anaesthesia.
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.
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.
Before surgery the surgeon goes through the risks: bleeding or a blood collection under the skin, infection, asymmetry, visible or thickened scars, changed skin sensation, and partial relaxation of the correction over time.
Clearing may be needed before surgery, or surgery may be unsuitable, with blood clotting disorders, an active infection of the ear or skin, uncontrolled chronic illness, a tendency to keloid scarring, unrealistic expectations, or pregnancy, where timing must be confirmed first.
After the ears have healed they keep their corrected shape. Both ears will not be identical, and small differences are normal; in a small number of cases the correction relaxes somewhat. Your surgeon raises this with you 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.
