Ear Correction

Ear correction helps to change the position and shape of protruding ears so that they better fit the overall proportion of the head.

The procedure is suitable for both children and adults and is often performed at an earlier age when the shape of the ears has developed. The goal is to achieve a natural result that does not attract too much attention.

The solution is chosen individually, taking into account each person’s specific characteristics and expectations.

About the procedure

You are suitable for the procedure if you have

  • unnaturally large ears
  • ears that protrude noticeably from the head
  • a need for otoplasty for medical reasons (e.g., ears damaged as a result of an accident)
  • ear deformity

Before the operation

  • clean and moisturize your skin so that it is in good condition when you come for the operation
  • before the incision, the doctor will mark the incision sites on your skin with a marker, discuss the course of the operation and the expected results

Duration of operation and important information

  • ear correction surgery lasts approximately 1-2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia for adults, and general anesthesia for children.

Recovery

  • after the surgery, the doctor will check on you, give recommendations for wound care, reducing swelling, and pain management. The stitches are removed 7 days after the surgery.
