Otoplasty (Prominent Ear Surgery)
A personalised surgical plan to refine prominent ears while preserving balance with the face and head.
How is otoplasty planned?
Otoplasty evaluates the ear folds, the angle between the ear and the head, and differences between both ears as one surgical plan. The aim is not to create a standardised ear, but to achieve a natural position that remains proportionate to the face and head. The incision is commonly placed in the natural crease behind the ear; the exact cartilage-shaping technique is selected after examination. Suitability, anaesthesia and the expected degree of change can only be confirmed after an in-person assessment.
How It Works?
Examination and measurements
Folds, projection, asymmetry, skin and cartilage are assessed together.
Surgical planning
Cartilage shaping and fixation are selected for the individual anatomy.
Protection and follow-up
Dressings, a protective headband and review dates are planned by the surgeon.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does otoplasty make the ears smaller?
Where is the incision?
Will both ears be perfectly identical?
How long should an international patient stay in Istanbul?
Dressings and swelling can be expected during the first days. Pressure on the ears should be avoided, the recommended protective band should be used for the advised period, and review appointments should be followed. Return to work, school, exercise and flying varies with the technique and individual healing; a precise schedule is given after assessment.
