Otoplasty

WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct abnormalities in the shape, size, or position of the ears.

This treatment is for people who wish to improve the appearance of their ears, either for aesthetic reasons or to correct congenital or acquired deformities. Otoplasty can help with prominent, asymmetrical or deformed ears, restoring balanced for a more natural appearance.

The procedure is performed through a discreet incision at the back of the ear, allowing the surgeon to reshape the cartilage and reposition the ear in a more aesthetic position. Depending on the patient's needs, partial or total ear correction can be performed.

Benefits of Otoplasty:

Deformity correction: Otoplasty effectively corrects congenital or acquired deformities, improving the shape and position of the ears.
Natural and balanced results: It provides a more harmonious and natural appearance by restoring the shape and position of the ears.
Discreet incisions: The incisions are made at the back of the ear, where they are less visible and do not affect the aesthetics of the ear.
Quick recovery: Recovery is generally quick and allows patients to return to their normal activities in a short time.
Improves self-esteem: By correcting aesthetic problems in the ears, otoplasty can have a positive impact on the patient's self-esteem and confidence.
