Achieve a more balanced, natural ear appearance with Otoplasty
Otoplasty: A Confidence-Boosting Ear Enhancement
Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and reposition the ears, improving their appearance for patients who feel self-conscious about the size or shape of their ears. The procedure can address ears that stick out too far from the head or have an asymmetrical shape. Whether performed on children or adults, Otoplasty can create a more natural, proportionate look, providing a boost in confidence and self-esteem.
Precisely reshaping ear cartilage for natural-looking, lasting symmetry
To perform Otoplasty, a surgeon makes small incisions behind the ears to access the cartilage. The cartilage is then reshaped or repositioned to create a more aesthetically pleasing ear shape and contour. In some cases, excess cartilage or skin may be removed to achieve the desired look. The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia, and the recovery time is relatively short, with most patients resuming daily activities in a week or two.
Improves ear shape and position, enhances facial balance, boosts confidence, and provides a permanent solution for protruding or misshapen ears with minimal visible scarring.
