Home >> Cosmetic Surgery >> Ear Reshaping

Ear correction or ear reshaping surgery medically known as Otoplasty reduces the size of large ears or pins back protruding ears. The surgery changes the size, shape and position of your ears. It is a very popular surgery, for those who are extremely conscious of their protruding or "bat like" ears and like to correct them to feel more confident.

The surgery can take about two to two and a half hours and is done using local anaesthesia with oral sedation or general anaesthesia in small children. An incision is made behind the ear, the cartilage is exposed and the surgeon moulds it by bending it backwards towards the head. The surgeon then stitches the cartilage to maintain the new shape and closes the incision.

Recovery

You can leave the hospital the same day after surgery or may need an overnight stay if done under general anaesthesia. Your head might be heavily covered with bandages to avoid any damage to the surgery site. The stitches are removed about a week after surgery. You should avoid any activity where your head may bump into anything. Adults can go back to work within five days while children can return to school within seven days after surgery.

Candidates

It is always advisable to get the ear correction surgery done in childhood (not before 6 years) because the cartilage is quite flexible in young age and thus allows easy and better reshaping. The child also benefits from psychological benefits, otherwise would have been teased by the peers. Adults who are conscious of the appearance of their shape and size of ears with realistic expectations also can undergo the surgery.

Expected R esults

The results of otoplasty are permanent. Those who used to feel insecure or embarrassed because of their ears tend to feel very satisfied with the changes obtained with this surgery.

Time & Cost

You would go back home the same day or will have to stay at the hospital for one night. The stitches are removed about a week after the surgery. You would need to be in town for about 8 days for the procedure.

Approximate, all inclusive cost of ear reshaping surgery starts from about USD 1600 and varies with the skill of the surgeon, facility and city where you choose to get the procedure done.
