Otoplasty is an ear correction surgery aimed at correcting the auricles to improve the appearance of the ears to varying degrees. It can address concerns with your ears' size, shape, positioning, or proportion.

It has become more popular in recent years for different reasons, including the possibility of changing the way the ears look. It is not a complex or expensive operation, so almost everyone can afford it.

Before the surgery, patients are expected to discuss their expectations with the surgeon and receive recommendations on how best to prepare for the procedure. This may include avoiding certain foods and medications that can increase bleeding and some temporal lifestyle changes.

At the beginning of the procedure, a sedative or general anesthesia is administered. Most people prefer the latter. Next, an incision is made to the fold of the skin behind the ear to expose the underlying cartilage.

Your surgeon will remove the excess cartilage, and in some instances, it is remodeled. After the procedure, the incision is closed with stitches. The procedure usually takes about two hours.

You may be a candidate for Otoplasty if you notice any of the following indications:

• Flaccidity
• Big difference in the size or location of the auricles (more than 3mm)
• Post-traumatic or congenital absence of part of the ear or complete absence of the auricle.

Some people may have already had Otoplasty and aren't happy with the results. Because of this, they may choose to have another procedure.
