Otoplasty (Prominent Ear Correction)

Prominent ear surgery brings the ear closer to the head in natural balance with your face, for a discreet, natural and lasting result.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Natural, Lasting Result

Bringing the ear closer to the head while preserving its natural folds, with a discreet, non-artificial and permanent reshaping.

Personalized Planning

Experienced Plastic Surgery Team

A board-experienced, internationally trained team of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeons with high case volume.

Modern Technique, Minimal Scar

End-to-end, privacy-respecting care with visa, transfer, accommodation and medical interpreter support.

OVERVIEW

Who it's for & conditions treated

People with noticeable asymmetry or size difference between the two ears.
Families seeking correction in preschool/school-age children once ear growth is largely complete (generally from age 5-6 onward).

TREATMENT TIMELINE

From day one to discharge

The timeline below is an average and varies by patient, diagnosis and clinical status. Exact timing and all included services are detailed in your personalized treatment offer.
Assessment
At the first in-person or online consultation your ear structure is measured, your expectations are discussed, and the technique and anesthesia option are selected.
Planning & Preparation
A personalized surgical plan is prepared with photo analysis and any necessary tests; pre-operative instructions are shared with you.
Procedure
The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours and is mostly day-case; performed under general anesthesia in children and often under local anesthesia in adults.
Recovery
A protective dressing is used for the first days, followed by a headband (typically for a few weeks, often at night); most people return to daily life quickly.
Follow-up
Recovery is monitored through follow-up visits and remote check-ins when needed; the final result settles over time.
Every treatment offer is presented in full detail — accommodation, transfer, interpreter and follow-up included — clearly stating what is covered.
