About this treatment
Otoplasty is a cosmetic ear surgery, a surgical procedure that changes the shape, position or size of the ears. It can be done at any age as long as the ears have reached their full size (usually at the age of 5). Suitability is determined by examination.
Planning your care
- Examination of ear structure and symmetry
- Age-appropriate timing
- A personal surgical plan
Your medical history and expectations are reviewed first. The relevant specialist considers suitable options, and clinical, travel and follow-up planning is built around that assessment.
This is general information. Suitability, risks and expected outcomes must be assessed by a qualified physician.
