Otoplasty Surgery, commonly known as ear surgery, is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to address prominent or oversized ears. This surgical intervention brings ears closer to the head and can reduce their size, resulting in a more balanced facial appearance. Primarily performed on children between the ages of four and fourteen, otoplasty can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence. In many cases, this procedure may even be covered by insurance.
An otoplasty procedure typically takes approximately two hours to complete, depending on the specific requirements of each patient.
The type of anesthesia used varies based on the patient’s age and preferences. Young children usually receive general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the surgery. For older children and adults, the surgeon may opt for either general anesthesia or a combination of local anesthesia with sedation.
During the procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions behind the ear to access the cartilage. The cartilage is then reshaped, repositioned, or partially removed to achieve the desired result. In some cases, the surgeon may use internal stitches to maintain the new ear position.
As with any surgical procedure, otoplasty carries potential side effects and risks. It’s crucial for patients and their families to be aware of these before proceeding with the surgery.
Temporary Side Effects:
– Throbbing sensation
– Aching
– Swelling
– Redness
– Numbness
While these side effects are common and generally subside within a few days to weeks, patients should monitor their recovery closely and report any persistent or worsening symptoms to their surgeon.
– Infection of cartilage
– Excessive scarring
– Blood clots that may require drainage
– Mismatched or artificial-looking ears
– Recurrence of ear protrusion, necessitating repeat surgery
To minimize these risks, it’s essential to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in otoplasty procedures and to follow all pre- and post-operative instructions carefully.
The recovery period following otoplasty is relatively short compared to many other cosmetic surgeries. Most patients can return to school or work within five to seven days after the procedure. However, it’s important to note that full recovery takes time, and certain precautions must be taken:

While otoplasty is most commonly performed on children between 4-14 years old, there’s no upper age limit for the procedure. Adults can also benefit from ear reshaping surgery. The key factor is that the ears have reached their full size, which typically occurs around age 5-6.
