Ear Surgery

Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery, ear pinning, or pinnaplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the position, shape, or size of the ears. This simple yet effective surgery addresses common concerns such as protruding, asymmetrical, or overly large ears, providing a more natural, balanced look. At London Harley Street Clinics, our experienced surgeons specialize in delivering safe, precise otoplasty results to enhance patients’ confidence and appearance.

What is Otoplasty?

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that repositions or reshapes the ears to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Often performed on children and adults alike, this surgery can make a significant difference for individuals who feel self-conscious about the shape or size of their ears. Importantly, otoplasty does not affect the inner ear’s structure or function, focusing solely on the outer appearance.

The Otoplasty Procedure

During your initial consultation, the surgeon will assess the structure of your ears, discuss your goals, and determine the best surgical approach.
Performed under local or general anesthesia, otoplasty generally takes 1-2 hours. The surgeon makes a small incision behind the ear to access and reshape the cartilage. The cartilage may be sculpted, folded, or partially removed to achieve the desired shape, and internal sutures are used to hold the new position. The incision is then closed, resulting in minimal, discreet scarring.
Even if only one ear appears prominent, both ears are often adjusted slightly to ensure symmetry and balance.
After surgery, patients typically experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which subside within a few days. Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, although it’s essential to protect the ears during the initial recovery period.

Potential Risks and Complications

While Ear Surgery is generally safe, potential risks include:

  • Infections are rare but may require antibiotics and regular dressing changes.
  • Thick or red scars can develop in rare cases and may need further treatment.
  • Dressings may irritate the skin, causing breaks that take time to heal.
  • Temporary numbness in the ears is common and usually resolves within weeks.
  • Minor differences in ear shape or position may occur.
  • Delayed healing can occur in some cases, especially with underlying conditions.
These risks are minimized with the expertise and care provided by our experienced surgeons.
