Prominent Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Protruding ears are a common anatomical condition caused by insufficient ear cartilage curl and a wide angle between the ear and the head. This condition can cause self-esteem issues, especially in childhood, and can negatively impact social life in adults. Protruding ear surgery involves small incisions behind the ear to reshape the cartilage, restoring the ears to a natural appearance.

​

The surgery can be performed at any age, usually starting at age 5-6. It is performed under general anesthesia for children and local anesthesia for adults. Elastic bandages are applied to the ears for the first few days after the procedure, and tennis headbands are recommended thereafter. Recovery is generally comfortable; most patients can return to school or work within a week. This procedure offers natural and permanent aesthetic results, boosting self-confidence and positively impacting quality of life.
