What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape, reposition, or resize the ears. It is commonly performed to correct prominent or protruding ears, improve symmetry, or address deformities caused by injury or birth defects. The procedure enhances facial harmony and boosts self-confidence, especially in children and adults who feel self-conscious about their ears.
Turkey is a leading destination for otoplasty, known for its highly skilled surgeons, modern techniques, and cost-effective solutions.
Types of Otoplasty
Ear Pinning
(Setback Otoplasty)
Reduces the prominence of protruding ears by repositioning them closer to the head.
Ear Reshaping
Adjusts the size or shape of the ears, often to address asymmetry or congenital deformities like overly large ears (macrotia).
Reconstructive Otoplasty
Corrects deformities caused by trauma, accidents, or congenital conditions like microtia (underdeveloped ears).
Earlobe Repair
Repairs torn, stretched, or damaged earlobes from heavy earrings or trauma.
Who is it For?
Otoplasty is suitable for individuals who:
Are self-conscious about protruding, asymmetrical, or large ears.
Have suffered ear injuries or deformities.
Are at least 5–6 years old, when ears have reached their full size.
Want to restore or enhance ear aesthetics.

Before the Procedure
• Initial Consultation: Your surgeon will evaluate your ears, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable approach.
• Medical Evaluation: A complete health assessment ensures you’re fit for surgery.
• Planning the Surgery: The surgical plan is tailored to your specific needs and anatomy.
• Pre-Operative Instructions: Avoid smoking, alcohol, and medications that increase
bleeding risk as advised by your surgeon.

The Procedure
Otoplasty is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and complexity of the case.
• Incisions: Made behind the ear to minimise visible scarring.
• Cartilage Adjustment: The surgeon reshapes or repositions the cartilage to achieve the desired contour.
• Sutures: Internal and external sutures are used to secure the new ear position.
The procedure generally takes 1–2 hours, and patients can return home the same day.

After the Procedure
• Immediate Recovery: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal and subside within a few days.
• Protective Dressing: A bandage is applied to protect the ears and maintain their new position during the initial healing phase.
• Post-Surgical Care: Follow your surgeon’s guidelines, including avoiding strenuous activities and sleeping in a way that avoids pressure on the ears.
• Results Timeline: Improvements are noticeable immediately after removing bandages, with full results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over the next few weeks.
Possible Complications (Minimised with Expert Care)
Otoplasty is a safe and effective procedure, but like any surgery, it carries potential risks, such as:
• Temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness around the ears.
• Minor asymmetry, which can often be corrected.
• Rare risks, such as infection or scarring, are minimised through careful post-operative care and expert surgical techniques.

FAQs about Otoplasty
Otoplasty results are permanent. Once the ears are repositioned, they remain in their new shape and position.
Incisions are placed behind the ears, leaving scars that are discreet and usually fade over time.
Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks. Full recovery, including resolution of swelling, takes a few months.
Children as young as 5–6 years old, when the ears are fully developed, can undergo otoplasty. It is equally effective for adults.
