Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
Otoplasty is not a single standard procedure. A suture-based approach and an approach that also works on the cartilage itself differ in what they change. The surgeon helps you choose at the consultation, after examining your ears.
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 described here in general terms. The extent of surgery and your recovery depend on you as a patient, and the surgeon confirms both after examining your ears and discussing your wishes.
At the consultation the surgeon builds a plan for your case and explains the method chosen.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

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
Once you are happy with the plan and the price, you choose a suitable date with your coordinator. You book only after the surgeon has confirmed everything.
Pre-operative preparation
The surgeon reviews your medical history and medicines, takes photographs and arranges standard tests as needed. Blood-thinning medicines are stopped only on the surgeon's instructions.
The operation
Adults and older teenagers usually have local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed. General anaesthesia is often chosen for younger children. The incision is usually behind the ear, and the cartilage is reshaped with permanent stitches.
The first hours and days
You wear a head dressing for the first days. The team explains 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 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.
At the consultation the surgeon will explain how the operation goes in your case.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about otoplasty
Message a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp and send clear photos of your ears. The first consultation is free. The surgeon reviews the photos, talks with you online and proposes 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.
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.
The surgeon explains these before surgery: bleeding or a blood collection under the skin, infection, asymmetry, visible or thickened scars, changed skin sensation, and the correction partly relaxing over time.
Surgery may be unsuitable or need clearing first with blood clotting disorders, active ear or skin infection, uncontrolled chronic illness, a tendency to keloid scarring, unrealistic expectations, or pregnancy until timing is confirmed.
Once healed, the ears keep their new shape. Small differences between the two ears are normal, and in a small number of cases the correction can relax somewhat. The surgeon discusses 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.
