What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct abnormalities in the shape, size, or position of the ears. This procedure is often performed to improve the appearance of prominent or malformed ears, providing an aesthetic and psychological solution to patients.
Why Choose Otoplasty?
Prominent or deformed ears can cause significant discomfort, especially in children and adolescents. Otoplasty can:
- Correct protruding ears: Bring the ears closer to the head for a more natural appearance.
- Resculpt cartilage: Change the shape and size of the ears for better facial harmony.
Reduce ear size: In cases where the ears are too large (macrotia).

From what age can otoplasty be performed?

How does the initial consultation take place?
The initial consultation includes a discussion of the patient’s expectations and concerns, as well as an ear examination to determine the appropriate surgical plan.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, which minimizes pain. Pain medication may be prescribed to manage post-operative discomfort.
What are the stages of post-operative recovery?
Recovery involves wearing a bandage to support the ears, avoiding strenuous physical activities, and following the surgeon’s recommendations for optimal healing.
How long does it take to see final results?
Les résultats définitifs de l’otoplastie peuvent être observés après quelques semaines, une fois que l’enflure et les ecchymoses ont diminué.
What are the possible risks and complications?
As with any surgical procedure, otoplasty carries risks such as infection, bleeding, abnormal scarring or ear asymmetry.
Are the results of otoplasty permanent?
Yes, otoplasty results are usually permanent, providing long-lasting correction of ear abnormalities.
How long does the surgery take?
L’otoplastie dure généralement entre 1 à 2 heures, selon la complexité de la correction à apporter.
