What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is the medical term for a surgical procedure that corrects the shape and structural deformities of the ears. Whether the condition is congenital or the result of an injury, otoplasty can effectively address a wide range of ear abnormalities. Prominent ears typically project outward at an angle greater than 35%. In many cases, this occurs due to overdevelopment or underdevelopment of the cartilage in the pinna (outer ear), causing the ears to protrude. If you are searching for an experienced otoplasty surgeon in Hyderabad or Bangalore, you’ve come to the right place.

Procedure & Recovery
Otoplasty is a safe and effective ear reshaping procedure that can be performed in both adults and children above 5 years of age. The surgery usually takes about one to two hours. Adults typically undergo the procedure under local anaesthesia with sedation, while children are given general anaesthesia to ensure comfort and safety throughout the surgery.
During the procedure, a carefully planned incision is made either behind the ear or within the natural inner creases, depending on the correction required. These incisions are strategically placed to keep scars hidden from direct view, and they gradually fade over time. Excess cartilage and skin from the pinna are reshaped or removed, and the incisions are closed with absorbable sutures for smooth healing.
