What is it?

Otoplasty reshapes the ear cartilage to bring the ear closer to the head or correct its shape. It is one of the most rewarding surgeries, because a small change brings a lot of harmony to the face. The incision is made behind the ear, where the scar stays hidden.

    Frequently asked questions

    From what age can it be done?

    It can be done in children once the ear has nearly reached its adult size. The doctor will advise you based on age and the case.

    Is the scar visible?

    It sits behind the ear, in the fold with the head, so it is normally not visible.

    Is the result permanent?

    Yes, in the vast majority of cases the result lasts over time.

    How much does it cost?

    It depends on each case. After the assessment, the clinic will confirm the cost of your treatment.
