Otoplasty

Are you torn, stretched, or split earlobes from heavy earrings or trauma? You may be unhappy with prominent ears and want a more balanced appearance of your earlobes.

What Is Otoplasty Treatment?

Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to correct prominent, misshapen, or asymmetrical ears. The treatment reshapes or repositions the ears closer to the head, improving facial balance and appearance. Otoplasty can be performed on children, teenagers, and adults, offering long-lasting aesthetic and psychological benefits.
