Otoplasty is an ear plastic surgery aimed at correcting the shape of the ears. This is a fairly popular aesthetic surgery, which is often performed on both children and adults.
Ear plastic surgery is usually indicated for patients with protruding ears, when the auricles stick out to the sides, as well as for too large auricles (macrotia) or, conversely, too small or absent (microtia), as well as for various deformities of the auricles, both acquired and congenital.
A child’s ears complete their development by the age of four. Therefore, from this age, one can go for an operation without fear that later the shape of the ears will change anyway. In addition, it is desirable to resolve such an issue in the preschool period in order to avoid psychological discomfort in the child.

What is otoplasty
Otoplasty is an aesthetic surgery of the ear. Its purpose is to bring the protruding ears closer to the hairy part of the head. This can be explained by people’s desire to look similar, not to draw the attention of those around you with your different shaped ears.
Ear surgery for adults and children
Differences in the shape and deformities of the ears often cause not only aesthetic issues but also psychological problems, especially in childhood. Ear surgeries are chosen by adults and are also performed for children. The recommended age is from the age of 6, because at this age the ear cartilage is fully developed.
Procedure
During ear plastic surgery, the protruding ears are reshaped to be closer to the head.
Duration of the surgery
Up to 1.5 hours on average.
Anesthesia
For young children – a combination of local and general; for older children and adults – local.
Treatment
Outpatient.
Recovery
An elastic post-surgery bandage should be worn for 10-12 days after ear plastic surgery. It is recommended to use it at night for up to 1 month. You can return to work or school in 5-7 days. An elastic bandage should be used during sports 1-2 months after otoplasty.
The result
The effect is permanent.
