About Ear Plastic Surgery

The outer ear is formed from cartilage and fatty tissue, making it easy to manipulate and reconstruct. Ears can be misshapen during childbirth or damaged from torn earrings or trauma. Ear cosmetic surgery can repair damaged ears or restore a balanced appearance to misshapen ears to improve the overall facial appearance and profile.

Ear Plastic Surgery FAQ

A good candidate for ear surgery is someone who is unhappy with the appearance of their ears—such as having protruding, misshapen, or asymmetrical ears—and desires a more balanced, natural look. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. A detailed consultation will help assess your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Ear surgery typically involves making discreet incisions behind the ears to reshape the cartilage. This technique minimizes visible scarring while effectively correcting issues like prominent ears or asymmetry. Your surgeon will explain the specific approach used for your unique case.

Recovery from ear surgery is usually straightforward. Most patients resume normal activities within one to two weeks, though you may experience some swelling and discomfort during the first few days. Your surgeon will provide detailed post-operative instructions—including any necessary headband support—to ensure a smooth healing process.

As with any surgical procedure, ear surgery carries some risks, such as infection, bleeding, or minor asymmetry. However, by choosing an experienced surgeon and carefully following your post-operative care guidelines, these risks are minimized. Your surgeon will review all potential complications with you before the procedure.

5/5

I grew up always hiding my ears behind my hair — they stuck out more than I liked. After otoplasty, Dr. Chaudhry pinned them back so naturally that even close-friends say they can’t tell I had surgery, just that I look more ‘me’. The first week was a bit uncomfortable, but afterward the pain eased quickly. I was surprised how little swelling remained at 4-6 weeks. Wearing updos or letting my hair up is now something I actually enjoy—finally confident rather than self-conscious.

Otoplasty (Ear Pinning / Ear Plastic Surgery)
4/5

One of my ears was noticeably more protruding than the other, and that always bothered me in photos and under bright lights. Dr. Chaudhry’s work corrected the asymmetry beautifully — they now match, lie close to my head, and look balanced. Recovery was straightforward, with helpful follow-ups and careful guidance about wearing protection at night. I now feel comfortable going shirtless at the beach — something I never thought I’d do without worry.

Ear Plastic Surgery (Corrective Otoplasty for Asymmetry)
5/5

I decided to do otoplasty because I hated when my ears stuck out under hats or hoodies — always felt people were looking. The procedure was quicker than I expected, and the staff made the whole process feel like I was trusting friends. The scars are hidden behind the ear fold, and after a couple of months, they’ve faded nicely. My profile looks natural, my ears no longer cast weird shadows, and even selfies look better. It’s given me more freedom in clothing and hairstyles

Otoplasty (Protruding Ear Correction)
5/5

I was mostly bothered by how large my earlobes looked and how the cartilage shape made them flare out. Dr. Chaudhry reshaped both; the result is proportionate and far less obvious that I ever had surgery. I felt listened to — he asked exactly what I disliked and showed sketches of possible results. Healing was surprisingly comfortable; I took it easy, followed his instructions, and by eight weeks everything looked clean. I smile when I look in mirror and don’t hide during photos anymore.

Ear Plastic Surgery (Lobes & Cartilage Reshaping)
5/5

I got ear surgery in my early 20s, but I wish I had done it earlier. The constant teasing finally stopped when my ears were pinned back. My family says it changed my whole face just by balancing what was always off. Dr. Chaudhry was gentle, patient, and very clear about what to expect. Even after swelling, the shape stayed consistent and natural. Weighted headbands, pillows, small things made a difference after surgery. I’m grateful every day for that confidence I carry now.

Quick answers to questions you may have about EAR Procedures

Otoplasty focuses solely on reshaping the external ear cartilage and does not affect the inner ear structures. This means that the procedure is designed to enhance your appearance without compromising your hearing.

Yes, ear surgery is suitable for both children and adults. Many children undergo the procedure when their ear structure is fully developed (typically around age 5 or 6), and adults also choose ear surgery to address long-standing aesthetic concerns. Your surgeon will determine the optimal timing based on your individual situation.

The results from ear surgery are generally long-lasting. While natural aging may bring about minor changes over time, following post-operative care recommendations and attending follow-up appointments will help maintain your improved ear shape and symmetry.

Post-operative care for ear surgery usually involves wearing a supportive headband for a specified period to help maintain the new ear position, managing any discomfort with prescribed medications, and keeping the surgical area clean. Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns promptly.
