Otoplasty is one of the least complicated plastic surgeries performed by professional, experienced, plastic surgeons, which is recommended even for children. With its help the asymmetry of the ears is corrected, the hood (the escaping ears) changes to the desired shape of the ear cartilage and the ear lobe. Generally, otoplasty can be divided into two types:
- the first is an aesthetic that allows you to solve congenital problems (for example, getting rid of lop ears)
- second – reconstruction or correction of acquired deformity (correction of ear shape after trauma)
Pecularities after procedure
The procedure can be performed both under local anesthesia (preferably) and under general anesthesia (at the request of the patient). General anesthesia is indicated for young children so that the procedure is as comfortable and safe for them as possible. Local anesthesia – for teens and adults. The duration of the operation is from 1 to 2 hours.
Otoplasty for children and adolescents
This is one of the most popular surgeries among teenagers and children, as lop ears or deformed ears often create child’s complexes and cause bullying by peers. It is important for parents not to ignore the fact of the presence of complexes and to solve the problem as early as possible (correction can be made from 6 years). The sooner a child gets rid of a congenital feature, the less is the risk of psychological trauma.
All contraindications can be excluded only by visiting a plastic surgeon and undergoing a mandatory preoperative examination. This will allow the ears to be adjusted without complications and with a short rehabilitation period

Frequently asked questions
1
At what age can otoplasty be performed on children and adults?
Otoplasty can be performed on children from the age of 6–7, when the ears are fully formed. Adults can undergo the operation at any age if they wish to improve the shape or symmetry of their ears.
2
How long does rehabilitation after otoplasty take?
The main rehabilitation period lasts about 10–14 days. During this time, it is necessary to wear a special bandage, and final healing occurs after 1–1.5 months.
3
What restrictions should be followed after otoplasty?
After the operation, you should avoid physical exertion, saunas, swimming pools, and sleeping on your side for the first few weeks. This will help maintain the shape of your ears and speed up healing.
4
Does hearing change after ear surgery?
Hearing does not change after otoplasty. The operation only affects the external shape of the auricle, without affecting the auditory apparatus.
5
When will the final result of otoplasty be visible?
The first changes are visible immediately after removing the bandage, and the final result is achieved in 1–3 months. During this period, the swelling disappears and the tissues take on a natural appearance.
