Permanent improvement after healing
Ear pinning treats prominent or protruding ears. The surgeon corrects the ear cartilage and brings the ears nearer the head. This technique focuses on preserving the natural features of the ears
Ear reduction is used when the ears are larger than normal size. The surgeon removes part of the ear cartilage and skin to fix the size. Both ears are treated together to achieve better symmetry.
Ear augmentation restores the shape or size of an underdeveloped or damaged ear. The surgeon reshapes the existing ear cartilage depending on the condition. If the ear needs reconstruction, costal (rib) cartilage is taken to create a new ear framework. A synthetic implant is used for some patients if rib cartilage is not suitable.
Anesthesia is administered through an intravenous (IV) line to deliver sleep-inducing medications. The anesthesiologist monitors your health throughout the procedure.
The surgeon examines the shape of both ears from different angles. The surgeon marks specific spots on the ear cartilage to create better symmetry.
A small incision is made behind the ear. This gives the surgeon direct access to the ear cartilage. With strategic incision creation, the scar is concealed behind the ear after recovery.
The surgeon corrects the ear cartilage based on the condition being treated. For prominent ears, the cartilage is folded to create an antihelical fold. A small amount of cartilage and skin is removed for large ears.
The skin is closed with fine sutures after surgery. The surgeon closes the incision without tension to support smooth healing.
A soft, padded dressing is positioned over both ears. The dressing protects the ear’s new position during healing. A lighter headband then replaces the protective dressing usually 1 to 3 days after surgery. Most patients wear the headband at night for 4–6 weeks to prevent the ears from bending forward.
The Otoplasty procedure is completed in 6 surgical steps, which are listed below:
| Recovery Stage | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1–5 | Mild swelling, bruising, and ear discomfort. Wear a compression head dressing. |
| Week 1 | Return to work, school, or light daily activities. Incisions usually heal. |
| Weeks 2–3 | Most swelling and bruising improve. Continue wearing a soft headband at night to protect the ears. |
| Weeks 4–6 | Resume heavy exercise and contact sports only if your surgeon approves. Sleep carefully to avoid pressure on the ears. |
| Months 2–3 | Swelling reduces significantly. The ears settle into their final shape. |
