What is Otoplasty?
Ear correction is planned around cartilage shape, ear position, asymmetry and the change a person wants. Incisions are often behind the ear, though technique varies. Perfect symmetry is not a realistic promise.
What should you consider before treatment?
Ask to see where scars will sit, how the cartilage is stabilised and what headband or activity restrictions are advised. Adults and children have different consent and timing considerations; cosmetic marketing must not target under-18s.
Risks and recovery
Risks include bleeding, infection, prominent scars, altered sensation, asymmetry, cartilage problems and recurrence of prominence. Pain that rapidly increases beneath a dressing needs prompt review.
Questions to ask at a consultation
- What change is realistic for my cartilage?
- Where will scars be positioned?
- How often does prominence recur?
- Who reviews dressings and urgent concerns?
