Otoplasty vs. Similar Procedures

While facelifts or rhinoplasty address the face and nose, otoplasty focuses exclusively on correcting ear prominence or asymmetry, enhancing facial harmony without altering other features.

How it Works

  • A detailed consultation explores your aesthetic goals, assesses ear structure, and determines the most appropriate surgical approach.

  • We develop a tailored plan that addresses ear shape, projection, and symmetry; ensuring refined, natural results. 

  • You’ll receive guidance on preparing for surgery, including any lifestyle adjustments, medication review, and skincare advice to optimise healing. 

  • Otoplasty is performed as a day-case procedure under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. A discreet incision is made behind the ear to access and reshape cartilage, allowing precise repositioning of the ear closer to the head. Fine sutures secure the new shape and position. The approach ensures minimal visible scarring and a natural-looking outcome. 

  • After surgery, a protective dressing or light bandage is applied to support healing. Initial swelling and bruising are expected but generally mild, with most patients resuming light activities within 5–7 days. Full healing occurs over several weeks as tissues settle. We provide attentive aftercare, including personalised post-operative guidance and scheduled follow-up visits to ensure optimal recovery and long-lasting results.

Additional Treatments

Otoplasty can be complemented by facial contouring, chin refinement, dermal fillers, skin tightening treatments, or anti-wrinkle injections to enhance overall balance and profile aesthetics. For patients seeking comprehensive rejuvenation, we offer tailored combinations that harmonise ear shape with facial proportions and improve skin tone and texture.

Before, During, and After Rhinoplasty

Your otoplasty journey at The Ghanem Clinic London is guided by our expert team; ensuring you feel informed, supported, and confident from consultation to full recovery.

  • A thorough consultation, ear assessment, and tailored preparation plan, including advice on medications, smoking cessation, and skincare to optimise healing.

  • Otoplasty is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes a discreet incision behind the ear, reshapes and folds ear cartilage to achieve a natural contour, repositions the ear closer to the head if needed, and secures the result with internal sutures before closing the incision carefully.

  • Post-surgery, a protective dressing supports healing. Swelling and bruising subside within days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and scheduled follow-ups. Most patients return to normal activities within 1 week.
