We do aesthetics better

Using state-of-the-art equipment at our plastic surgery clinic, the otoplasty procedure is implemented in the safety and comfort of a luxury clinic.

Our experienced plastic surgeons provide otoplasty procedures on every patient with accuracy and skill designed for patients to improve and correct the anatomy of the ear.

With our otoplasty mastery, we reshape ears with precision to give you the look that you want. You will feel confident and amazed by the result.
Ear Surgery
Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning, ear surgery, or ear correction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure for those who desire for their ears to be closer to the head by undergoing ear reshaping surgery. For irregularities, it can make them less prominent if the protruding ears are more than 2 centimetres. This is a standard distance from the top of the head. But ears that stick out more than this can be a visual annoyance. Some people opt for this plastic surgery to correct the damage or the ear shape, while others choose it to make their ears appear better.
Several benefits include:
2-3 hours
Not Required
1-2 weeks
48 hours
1 week
Permanent
4-6 weeks
4-6 weeks
It is preferable to begin with a consultation in which expectations regarding the procedure, necessary preparations, and actions to be taken prior to, during, and following the surgery are established.
We are now focused on all the preparations that must be taken. Making sure everything will go along to plan financially, emotionally, and physically before the procedure begins.
Otoplasty, also known as "ear pinning," is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes the ears by making small incisions behind the ear, accessing the cartilage, and then repositioning it closer to the head using sutures, effectively correcting issues like protruding ears.
The typical recovery time is around six weeks.

Had Dr Omar for masseter Botox for the first time. He was very knowledgable and king and made sure I was completely at ease before injecting. Couldn’t recommend enough! Thanks again!

This ear reshaping surgery involves the removal of skin from the back of the ears, after which the ear cartilage is moulded. They are able to rotate the cartilage, which changes how the ear sits against the head. The ears are sutured in this new position, and the sutures are hidden in natural folds in the large creases behind the ear.
To correct issues such as damaged or elongated earlobes, a separate procedure known as earlobe repair is done. This is a means of removing irrelevant tissue or, if needed, fixing piercing and stretcher damage. The wound is then sutured with fine stitches.
Incisionless otoplasty provides present-day methods to reshape or move the ears without cutting the skin. The anchor-like sutures used in the earfold, unfortunately, are not permanent, and the unique stitches are just placed to hold the new position and ear shape. This procedure is generally scarless and results in a quick recovery time.
If you have the procedure performed on you, it can take about one to two hours, depending on what you need. The more complex procedures may require a general anaesthetic and take a bit longer, but the majority are done with a local anaesthetic and are rather quick.
Not always. For a few ear abnormalities, time alone will heal. The ideal time to have ear surgery is between ages 5 and 6, when the growth of the ears is nearly complete.
This is the youngest age at which the surgery is recommended, but it can be done at any time after this. Ear moulding or splinting, a non-surgical procedure, can work well if started in the first 2–3 weeks of life.
Although the pain during otoplasty is almost non-existent thanks to the effective local anaesthesia, otoplasty patients should be warned to expect some discomfort afterwards for a few days before full recovery. The more you know what to expect in recovery and what kind of pain is the norm for this surgery, the better you can set expectations and be able to have a smoother recovery. After all, with proper post-surgery care, the ears heal very well.
