What Is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that adjusts the size, shape, or position of the ears to create a more balanced and proportionate appearance. It’s a popular choice for individuals who feel their ears protrude too far from the head, are asymmetrical, or have irregular shapes due to genetics or injury.

The procedure can address a variety of concerns, including:

• Protruding ears: Bringing the ears closer to the head for a more natural look.
• Asymmetry: Correcting uneven ears for better symmetry.
• Misshapen cartilage: Reshaping or smoothing cartilage to create a more aesthetically pleasing ear shape.
• Earlobe concerns: Addressing stretched, torn, or misshapen earlobes.

Otoplasty is typically performed under local or general anaesthetic, depending on the complexity of the procedure, and recovery is straightforward, with minimal downtime.

Types of Otoplasty

Otoplasty can be customised to address a range of ear-related concerns, with different techniques carefully tailored to suit your individual needs. Here are some of the options available:

• Incisionless Otoplasty:
  This minimally invasive technique reshapes the ears without the need for incisions. Using a specialised needle, the ear cartilage is gently softened to make it more flexible, and fine stitches are used to hold the ear in its new position. This approach is ideal for those seeking a subtle adjustment with less recovery time.
• Earlobe Repair:
  Stretched or torn earlobes from heavy earrings or trauma can be repaired and reshaped to restore a more natural, refined appearance. This simple yet effective procedure helps your earlobes look neat and beautifully balanced again.
• Conchal Alteration:
  For individuals with a large conchal bowl (the central hollow of the ear) that causes the ears to protrude, this technique reduces or reshapes the cartilage. By bringing the ears closer to the head, it creates a more proportionate and harmonious look.

Each of these techniques is designed to enhance your natural beauty while ensuring results that feel effortless and uniquely yours. Mr Aftab Ahmed will discuss the best approach for you during your consultation.
