Protuberant ears can be a devastating aesthetic deformity. Otoplasty is a simple, straightforward procedure, which can give the ears a natural shape, orientation, and configuration, and have dramatic positive effects on one’s self-esteem.
Two principal conditions require Otoplasty for cosmetic reasons. These may exist in isolation or combination.
- A “lop-ear deformity” refers to the absence of an ear-cartilage fold known as the antihelix, which is the smaller curved inner ridge of the ear that parallels the outer curve of the ear. This type of deformity is presented as an abnormally shaped ear that tends to flop forward.
- The second most common condition is a condition is a “cup-ear deformity,” which refers to the exuberant cup-like cartilage bowl that resides near the actual ear canal that in turn makes the ear project out excessively.
- Surgery involves identifying the exact cosmetic problem and intervening in a targeted approach and on a timely basis.
The Otoplasty Advantage
Otoplasty not only provides a cosmetic improvement but also a psychological improvement as well. Otoplasty, or ear surgery, refers to the surgical correction of ears to pin them back, reduce them in size, correct a deformity, or make them more symmetrical.

Good candidates for Otoplasty include individuals who are physically healthy, realistic in their expectations, and interested in improving the appearance of their protruding ears.
Comprehensive care, before, during & after surgery

Our dedicated post-surgical section is designed with your comfort and care in mind. Our entire staff from the expert team of anesthesiologists to nurses will ensure you are treated with the utmost care and warmth.
The Aftercare Advice
Unnecessary pressure should be avoided, so it is recommended that patients wear loose-fitting shirt collars and rest on their back. Headbands might be recommended to hold the ears in the desired position up to two weeks after the surgery.
Pre-operative requirements for undergoing the surgery
- Your current health history, as well as your medications and drug allergies, will be reviewed.
- Routine laboratory testing is ordered.
- It is important to be sun-smart (using UVA and UVB sun protection) prior to any ear correction procedure.
- Stop smoking for at least two weeks before and one week after surgery, as nicotine can impair circulation and healing.
- Avoid alcohol in excess for two weeks before and one week after the surgery.
Patient preparation before ear Correction Surgery
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions to prepare for the procedure.
- You should arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery, and to help you out for a day or two.
- You should plan to take one to two weeks off of work, so swelling and bruising can resolve.
- For patients who work in sedentary jobs, two weeks should be enough time to look presentable at work.
- If your job is very strenuous, you may need more time to ensure healing is well underway.

Otoplasty is commonly performed in an outpatient surgical facility and takes approximately 1-2 hours. An incision is made just behind the ear, in the natural skin fold where the ear is joined to the head. Cartilage may be sculpted and bent back toward the head with non-removable sutures used to help maintain the new shape, or cartilage may be removed to create a natural-looking ear fold. Incisions are usually made behind the ear or within the ear creases.
Dressings and/or bandages will be applied to the ears post-procedure for added support and protection. Your doctor will prescribe pain medication as needed. Bandages are typically removed after a few days of surgery.
Dr. Milan Doshi at Allure Medspa is a Board Certified Otolaryngologist, which means that he has advanced surgical training in ear correction, in addition to his specialty training in ear correction surgery.

Privacy & Confidentiality
We at Allure Medspa care follow the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality, ensuring the additional comfort of our patients. For your privacy and protection, we maintain a strict non-disclosure policy.
Q1. Does Otoplasty surgery hurt?
Ans. During the surgery, the patient is either lightly sedated or under general anesthesia, ensuring that no pain is felt. After the surgery, patients will receive medication to minimize any side effects of the surgery, including pain and discomfort from the incisions.
Q2. Is it quite painful? Is there much bruising?
Ans. It takes about a week for most of the swelling to subside, although the ear will be sensitive to pressure for about 2 weeks. Bruising is usually minimal, although some people are more prone to it than others. There is usually some pain postoperatively, but not a great deal, and it should be able to be controlled with prescribed pain relievers by your surgeon.
Q3. What are the risks of Otoplasty?
Ans. The risks of the operation are bleeding and infection. Both are exceedingly rare. With proper postoperative care, this is a very safe and satisfying operation that carries very little risk, offers beautiful results, and almost no discomfort from the operation itself. You should know that your ears may feel numb for 2 to 3 months after the operation. The sensation returns slowly over that time. This is the reason that there is generally no pain in the postoperative period. This also makes the operation exceptionally well tolerated in children.
Q4. What are the Risks Involved with an Ear correction Otoplasty?
Ans. Fortunately, significant complications from ear correction surgery are infrequent. Every year, many people undergo successful ear surgery, experience no major problems and are delighted with the results. Anyone considering surgery, however, should be aware of both the benefits and the risks. Your surgeon will discuss these with you during your consultation
