Otoplasty Surgery
The typical otoplasty involves correcting ears that stick out (aka ear pinning), to decrease their projection.
What is otoplasty surgery?
Cosmetic ear surgery, also called otoplasty, is a type of plastic and reconstructive surgery that can improve the size, shape, or position of the outer ear by reshaping the cartilage. It can be performed at any age after the ears have stopped growing, which typically happens by age 5 or 6.
Ear surgery may also be a good option if you want to correct a birth defect that has affected the shape of the ear cartilage or lobe; make your ears appear smaller; or fix the position or shape of uneven ears (when one ear looks bigger than the other).
Who will benefit from otoplasty?
Each ear is slightly different, even on the same person. The best candidates for ear plastic surgery are healthy patients with reasonable expectations. Poor candidates for otoplasty include patients with bleeding disorders, wound-healing disorders, or other serious medical conditions that might make anaesthesia or elective surgery risky.

Frequently asked questions
Can you make your ears smaller with surgery?
Occasionally the ear is disproportionately large to the head—and in that case, the ear can be surgically reduced in size, the trade-off is a scar on the outside surface that may be undesirably visible.
How long does otoplasty take?
The entire procedure should take two to three hours, depending on the complexity of the case. After surgery, your head will be temporarily wrapped in a bandage, to protect your ears and keep them in place to ensure the integrity of the results.
What should you expect during ear surgery recovery?
Adults are usually able to return to normal activities within a few days post-surgery. It’s common to have some numbness of the ears that usually resolves within a month, but it may persist for up to six months. After four to six weeks, you’ll be able to resume all normal activities, including sports.
How soon will you see ear surgery results?
Your ears will start to look normal after a week or two as the swelling and bruising resolves. Healing is close to 80% complete by six weeks, and ears are close to fully healed by about two to three months. These results are permanent and should last a lifetime.
Testimonials
What our patients say...
I felt well looked after from my initial consultation to the surgery. Every question that I had was able to be answered in a concise yet easy to understand manner, and the whole team were very approachable and friendly. There was no pressure into making a decision and I was able to take my time in deciding what I felt was best in terms of implant size and desired outcome. .. Following my surgery I am so pleased with the results! The outcome is exactly what I wanted and I feel that Mr Oudit was very knowledgeable and understanding from my initial description of the ideal result to what was actually feasible based on my frame. I would definitely recommend Mr Oudit breast augmentation to my friends/family and would happily go again for any future surgery.

Michelle Huang
Dr Oudit has done a fantastic job with the Vaser. I’ve had my arms, flanks, lower and upper abdomon done and the results are truly amazing. Very limited pain and downtime too. I feel so much more confident with my body. .. The stubborn fat I had around my hips and stomach were really effecting my self esteem and it’s completely gone. The intricate job he’s done has left me with not only a flat stomach and less fat but a lovely natural hourglass shape. I’m very pleased with the results and would highly recommend working with Dr Oudit
