What Is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, or ear surgery, reshapes the ears to bring them into better proportion with the face. It is commonly used to set prominent ears closer to the head or to refine ear shape and size.
The procedure reshapes the cartilage and, when needed, removes excess tissue to create a natural, symmetrical contour. Incisions are hidden behind the ear, leaving scarring virtually invisible.

Are You a Candidate?
During your consultation we confirm whether Otoplasty is the right approach for you. Most ideal candidates:
- Have prominent, protruding, or misshapen ears
- Are bothered by ear size or asymmetry
- Are in good general health
- Have realistic expectations
- Are non-smokers or willing to quit
Recovery & What to Expect
A supportive headband protects the ears for the first few days. Most patients return to work or school within about a week, avoiding contact activity for several weeks while the results settle.
Otoplasty FAQs
Is otoplasty only for children?
No. While it is popular for children, otoplasty is performed successfully on teens and adults of any age.
Will the scars be visible?
Incisions are placed discreetly behind the ear, so scarring is well hidden and fades over time.
Are the results permanent?
Yes. Otoplasty provides long-lasting results that keep the ears in their new position.
