Otoplasty, also called ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes, repositions, or reduces ear size. Surgeons often perform it to correct ears that stick out, appear uneven, or became misshapen from birth or injury. Both children and adults seek this procedure to improve balance in facial features and boost confidence.

During Otoplasty, the surgeon makes small cuts behind the ear to reach the cartilage. They then sculpt, fold, or pin the ear closer to the head, creating a natural look.

Doctors usually perform the surgery under local anesthesia with sedation, though some cases may use general anesthesia. Most patients return to daily activity within a week. Results are visible soon after healing and last a lifetime. For many, Otoplasty provides a safe, effective way to achieve a more balanced facial profile.
