Otoplasty – ear surgery

Otoplasty, also known as ear correction surgery, offers patients the opportunity to permanently reshape their ears.
This specialized procedure is designed for individuals who are dissatisfied with the shape, size, or position of their ears, helping to restore a more natural and symmetrical appearance. Beyond enhancing aesthetics, otoplasty can significantly boost a person’s self-esteem and overall confidence.

How to prepare

2 Weeks Before the Procedure:

  • Have blood tests performed, including: complete blood count, coagulation profile (APTT, INR), and viral screenings (anti-HCV, anti-HBs, anti-HIV). If you have a thyroid condition, also include TSH, fT3, and fT4.
  • You must not have any active infections, be taking antibiotics, have inflammation, or show signs of cold sores (herpes).

1 Week Before the Procedure:

  • Limit, or ideally stop, the use of stimulants such as alcohol and cigarettes.

On the Day of the Procedure:

  • Do not arrive on an empty stomach — make sure you’ve eaten and are properly hydrated.
  • Ensure your skin and hair are clean. Arrive without makeup, and do not apply any creams to your face.
  • Please note: menstruation is NOT a contraindication for the procedure!

Is this tight for you?

The procedure is intended for individuals who wish to improve the shape, size, or position of their ears. It is especially recommended for those dealing with prominent ears, ear deformities, or damage resulting from traumatic injuries.

Treatment process

After sterile preparation of the surgical area, the specialist reshapes the ear cartilage, which is the main structural element responsible for the ear’s shape.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in a treatment room. The patient remains fully conscious and alert throughout the procedure, and hospitalization is not required.

Results

The result of the procedure is an improved shape of the ear, which enhances not only aesthetic appearance but also everyday comfort and confidence.

Post-Treatment Care

Protect the treated area from any trauma, excessive sun exposure, UV radiation, dirt, or moisture. Keep the dressings clean and change them as needed. Approximately 7 days after the procedure, return to the clinic for a follow-up visit and suture removal.

Additional recommendations:

  • Avoid intense physical activity for about 4 weeks.
  • Do not use saunas or tanning beds.
  • After suture removal, begin applying a moisturizing ointment (e.g. petroleum jelly), and after one week, gently massage the scar area.
  • Protect the area from sun exposure for 12 months following the procedure and use a sunscreen with SPF 50.
  • Wear a compression headband for the next 8 weeks during sleep and during any activity where the ear might be accidentally bent or pulled.
  • When engaging in physical exercise, continue wearing the headband for up to 6 months post-surgery.

We’re answering your most frequently asked questions

  • It’s important to remember that any procedure involving a break in the skin carries a risk of side effects such as hematomas, bruising, redness, or itching. If any of these symptoms become more intense or concerning, please contact the Clinic — we’ll be here to help and support you.

  • Contraindications for the procedure may include pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergy to local anesthetics, and blood clotting disorders. The use of anticoagulant medications—such as acetylsalicylic acid derivatives (e.g. Aspirin, Polopiryna)—can also pose a risk. Other contraindications include severe systemic diseases, advanced organ failure, and uncontrolled chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. The procedure should also be postponed if you’ve had an infection or antibiotic treatment within the month prior, a herpes outbreak within two weeks before surgery, or if there are any inflammatory conditions or skin lesions in the treatment area. Additionally, specific conditions affecting the outer ear (auricle) may also prevent the procedure from being performed.

  • In very early childhood—up to around 1 year of age—it is sometimes possible to correct the position of the ear cartilage by using a compression headband. However, beyond this stage, there are no effective alternatives to surgical correction for prominent ears. Otoplasty remains the only reliable treatment method for achieving lasting and precise results.
