Prominent ear aesthetics, also known as otoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that corrects protruding, asymmetrical, or oversized ears. The goal is to reposition the ears closer to the head, reshape the ear cartilage, or correct deformities—resulting in more balanced and natural-looking ears.
It’s a popular procedure for both children and adults, with life-changing results for those who feel self-conscious about their ears.
You may be a good candidate for otoplasty if you:
The goal is not to flatten the ears but to restore natural angles and positioning that suit your facial structure. The result looks subtle and balanced.
No visible scarring. Incisions are made behind the ear, hidden in the natural fold and usually fade well over time.
Children as young as 5 or 6 can safely have otoplasty. Adults of any age can undergo the procedure if they are healthy.
The procedure itself is painless due to anesthesia. Post-op discomfort is usually mild and controlled with pain relievers for a few days.
Otoplasty results are permanent. Once the cartilage is reshaped and healed, the ears maintain their new position.
Yes. Most otoplasties are bilateral (both ears) and performed in a single session for symmetry and balance.
Otoplasty can be done on just one ear to match the shape or position of the other, restoring facial balance.
No, otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure and does not affect hearing. The shape of the outer ear is unrelated to auditory function.
Yes. Revision otoplasty or ear reconstruction is available for correcting trauma, failed surgeries, or congenital deformities
Many men undergo otoplasty to improve facial proportion and confidence—especially if they keep their hair short.
