Ear correction
Otoplasty
Otoplasty, or ear correction, is a popular procedure amongst both men and women or all ages.
Imperfect ears can often cause great emotional distress. Whatever the problem, in the hands of one of our skilled cosmetic surgeons, imperfections can be considerably improved. Ear correction can give the patient both a visual and also a psychological boost. This is a common operation for children with prominent ears, but is an equally common operation performed on adults who did not have surgery during childhood.
At Court House Clinics ear correction is carried out as a day case under local anesthetic and the results are immediate.
Prices start from £3200
Frequently asked questions
Can I decide the shape of my new ears?
Generally yes. Many considerations need to be taken into account and these will be discussed during your consultation with your surgeon.
What happens afterwards?
After surgery is completed, you will have a dressing put on in the operating theatre. It is important that this dressing is not removed for at least 7-10 days.
Will surgery be painful?
Anaesthetic ensures that you are comfortable and feel no pain. After surgery, any pain or discomfort you may experience can be controlled through medication and pain and soreness will generally last 24-48 hours.
Will I need to take time off work?
Yes, normally a couple of days are required off work however the dressing will remain for 7-10 days. Surgery is usually performed under local anaesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours as a day case treatment.
Will I have any scarring?
Many plastic surgeons perform otoplasty by making the incision behind the ear so in most cases the scar will be hidden.
