Otoplasty (Ear Reshaping Surgery)

Otoplasty, also known as ear reshaping surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the shape, position, or size of the ears. It is commonly performed to correct protruding ears, reshape misshapen ears, or repair ear deformities, creating a more balanced and natural appearance.

Benefits of Otoplasty

  • Corrects Prominent or Protruding Ears – Brings ears closer to the head for a natural look.
  • Improves Ear Symmetry & Shape – Enhances overall facial balance.
  • Boosts Confidence & Self-Esteem – Especially beneficial for children and adults self-conscious about their ears.
  • Permanent, Natural-Looking Results – Once healed, the changes are long-lasting.
  • Minimal Downtime – Quick recovery with minimal discomfort.
