What Is Ear Correction (Otoplasty)?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects:

• Prominent ears
• Ear asymmetry
• Excess cartilage
• Structural irregularities

The surgery reshapes or repositions the ear cartilage to achieve a more balanced appearance.

The goal is natural proportion, not overcorrection.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Otoplasty?

You may be a suitable candidate if:

• Your ears protrude noticeably
• You have asymmetry between the ears
• You feel discomfort due to ear prominence
• You are in generally good health
• You seek permanent structural correction

Otoplasty can be performed in adults and older children once ear development is complete.

A personalized consultation determines the most appropriate technique.

How Is Ear Correction Surgery Performed in Istanbul?

Ear correction surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia.

Procedure overview:

• Incisions are usually placed behind the ear
• Excess cartilage or skin may be removed
• Cartilage is reshaped or folded
• Internal sutures secure the new ear position
• Incisions are closed with fine stitches

Surgery duration is approximately 1–2 hours.

Modern techniques focus on natural contour and balanced positioning.

Recovery & Aftercare

Ear Reshaping Procedure

Ear correction surgery reshapes or repositions the ears to create a more balanced and natural appearance.

Hidden Incisions Behind the Ear

Small incisions are typically made behind the ears or within natural ear folds to minimize visible scarring.

Protective Ear Bandage

A protective bandage is applied after surgery to support the new ear shape and assist the healing process.

Same-Day Discharge

Hospitalization is usually not required and patients can typically return home the same day after the procedure.
