Prominent Ear Correction Surgery
Restore Harmony and Confidence with Otoplasty
Prominent Ear Correction Surgery
Prominent or protruding ears can affect self-confidence and self-image, especially in children and young adults.
At Bollin Clinic, our Prominent Ear Correction Surgery (Otoplasty) helps reshape and reposition the ears for a balanced, natural appearance.
What Is Prominent Ear Correction Surgery?
Also known as Otoplasty, this procedure corrects ears that stick out, are asymmetrical, or have irregular shapes. The surgery involves reshaping the cartilage, bringing the ears closer to the head, and creating a natural contour.
Our surgeons use advanced techniques to achieve long-lasting results with minimal scarring, ensuring your ears look natural from every angle.
Who Is the Procedure For?
Otoplasty is suitable for:- Children aged 18 and older with protruding ears
- Teenagers or adults seeking improved ear symmetry
- Individuals with ears that affect self-confidence or emotional well-being
- Patients in good general health with realistic expectations
The Procedure
Prominent ear correction is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation for adults, or general anaesthesia for children.Key steps include:
- Consultation - 1.Personalised assessment of ear shape, size, and symmetry.
- Incision - Usually placed behind the ear to hide scarring.
- Cartilage Reshaping - Cartilage is carefully folded, trimmed, or sutured to achieve the desired shape.
- Closure - Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a protective dressing is applied.
Recovery and Results
- Mild swelling and discomfort are common and manageable with medication.
- Headband or dressing is typically worn for 1–2 weeks to support healing.
- Most patients resume normal activities within 7–10 days.
