Otoplasty

Achieve Natural Ear Harmony and Boost Confidence

Prominent or misshaped ears can affect self-esteem, especially in children and young adults. Otoplasty, commonly known as ear reshaping or ear pinning surgery, is a safe and effective procedure that corrects ear protrusion, asymmetry, or deformities, providing a natural and balanced appearance.

At History Clinic, we prioritize precision, patient comfort, and long-lasting results with a surgeon-led approach and advanced techniques.

What Is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the ears by:

1. Reducing protrusion (pinning the ears closer to the head)
2. Correcting ear asymmetry
3. Reshaping cartilage for a natural contour

The procedure can be performed on children as young as 5–6 years old when the ears have mostly developed, or on adults seeking cosmetic improvement.

Procedure Duration

1–2 hours per ear

(Performed under local anesthesia for adults; general anesthesia may be used for children.)

Recovery Timeline

1. First 1–2 weeks: mild swelling and bruising, headband recommended at night
2. 2–3 weeks: return to school or work
3. 4–6 weeks: full return to sports and physical activities

Before Otoplasty – Key Guidelines

To ensure safety and optimal outcomes:

1. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for 2 weeks prior
2. Stop smoking at least 2 weeks before surgery
3. Discuss prior ear injuries or previous surgeries with your surgeon

After Otoplasty – Care Instructions

Post-operative care is essential for a smooth recovery:

1. Wear a supportive headband as recommended, especially during sleep
2. Avoid direct trauma or pressure to the ears for 4–6 weeks
3. Swelling and mild discomfort are normal and typically resolve within 1–2 weeks
4. Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and final results
