Otoplasty (Prominent Ear Surgery) in Turkey – Natural Ear Correction with Lasting Results
Correct protruding or misshapen ears with scarless, permanent results. Otoplasty — also known as prominent ear surgery — offers a subtle yet powerful enhancement to your facial harmony.
What Is Otoplasty (Prominent Ear Surgery)?
Otoplasty, also referred to as prominent ear correction or ear pinning surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and repositions the ears for a more natural appearance. It’s most commonly performed on patients with ears that stick out too far or have asymmetry or deformity.
The goal of otoplasty is not just to “pin” the ears but to create a proportional, symmetrical, and balanced look, while keeping results as natural as possible.
Who Needs Prominent Ear Correction?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have ears that noticeably protrude from the head
- Are self-conscious about your ear shape
- Have uneven or asymmetric ears
- Experienced ear deformity due to injury or congenital conditions
- Are looking for a permanent, scarless solution
This surgery is suitable for both adults and children aged 6 and above — once the ear cartilage has fully developed.
Types of Otoplasty Procedures
Ear Pinning (Setback Otoplasty)
The most popular form of otoplasty, this technique involves reshaping and suturing the cartilage to bring the ears closer to the head. Incisions are made behind the ear, leaving no visible scars.
Key Benefits:
- Corrects protruding ears permanently
- Restores facial balance and self-confidence
- Ideal for both children and adults
- No impact on hearing or ear function
Ear Reduction
Used for overly large ears (macrotia), this procedure reduces the ear size by removing excess cartilage and skin.
Ear Reshaping
Custom correction of deformities in the ear folds, earlobes, or helix. Suitable for congenital malformations or post-trauma reconstruction.
Procedure Overview
- Surgery Time: 1 to 2 hours
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia (adults) or general anesthesia (children)
- Incisions: Hidden behind the ears
- Recovery: 5–7 days
- Results: Immediate and permanent
- Post-op Care: Protective headband worn for 5–10 days, especially during sleep
