Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape or reposition the ears for a more balanced and natural appearance. In Dubai, leading plastic surgeons at Highness Clinics offer otoplasty for men, women, and children, delivering aesthetically pleasing and confidence-boosting results.
Otoplasty in Dubai is a popular choice for individuals looking to correct prominent, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears. This procedure can also address congenital defects or repair damage caused by trauma. The surgery is tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs, ensuring natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
The primary goal of otoplasty is to improve the symmetry and proportion of the ears, enhancing overall facial harmony. The most common technique involves making a small incision behind the ear to reshape or pin back the cartilage, bringing the ear closer to the head. Alternatively, ear reconstruction techniques may be used for more complex cases. Factors such as ear structure, skin elasticity, and desired results help determine the most suitable approach for each patient.
At Highness Clinics, our skilled surgeons specialize in delivering personalized care and natural-looking outcomes, ensuring the results complement your unique features. Whether for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes, otoplasty offers a safe and effective solution to achieve ears that harmonize beautifully with the rest of your face.
Any man and woman could be a good candidate for Otoplasty surgery in Dubai as long as they:
Similar to other cosmetic surgeries, such as rhinoplasty, otoplasty begins with an initial consultation. During this session, the surgeon explains the procedure, outlines potential outcomes, and discusses any risks or concerns the patient should be aware of.
The surgeon thoroughly reviews the patient’s medical history and may recommend necessary tests to ensure they are a suitable candidate for otoplasty.
Patients are encouraged to ask questions to clarify any doubts about the surgery, its process, and the expected results. This open communication helps patients set realistic expectations and understand the outcomes of the procedure.
After the consultation, patients receive detailed pre-surgery guidelines. These may include instructions to avoid certain medications that could impact the surgery or healing process. Smoking and alcohol consumption are typically restricted in the days leading up to surgery to promote optimal recovery.
Otoplasty is performed under local anesthesia for most patients, although general anesthesia may be used for younger individuals or those requiring more complex procedures. This ensures patient comfort throughout the surgery.
The specific technique used depends on the type of otoplasty. Incisions are carefully made within the natural folds of the ear or on the back of the ear to ensure minimal visibility. The surgeon may remove or reshape cartilage, use cartilage grafts, or secure the structure with permanent stitches to create the desired contours and position.
Once the desired adjustments are made, the incisions are meticulously closed using fine stitches to secure the new ear shape.
A supportive head bandage is applied immediately after surgery to maintain the ear’s new position and protect the area during the initial healing phase. Patients typically wear the bandage for approximately 14 days post-surgery.
Swelling and tenderness are common after otoplasty and usually subside within a few weeks. Patients are advised to avoid activities such as contact sports and swimming for at least six weeks to allow proper healing.
Patients can expect a noticeable improvement in the appearance and symmetry of their ears shortly after the procedure. However, it may take several weeks for the ears to settle into their final shape. Some temporary side effects, such as soreness, itching, swelling, redness, bruising, or numbness, are normal and typically resolve on their own. If these sensations persist, patients should consult their doctor.
For optimal results, it’s crucial to follow the prescribed post-surgery care instructions, including taking medications as directed and attending follow-up appointments. While otoplasty generally provides excellent results, individual outcomes may vary based on factors such as healing and anatomy.
Otoplasty usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery.
Light activities can be resumed within a week, but strenuous exercises and contact sports should be avoided for at least 6 weeks to ensure proper healing.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you are comfortable during surgery. Mild discomfort, swelling, or tenderness is common during the recovery period, but it can be managed with medication.
Surgeons use techniques that create smooth, well-proportioned results while minimizing visible scarring, ensuring that the ears blend naturally with the patient’s facial features. The final result should look balanced and proportional, improving the overall aesthetic without drawing attention to the ears.
During your consultation, the surgeon will consider your unique facial anatomy, proportions, and personal goals to create results that look balanced and natural.
Yes, the results of otoplasty are long-lasting. The ears will remain in their new position or shape after the procedure, although some minor changes may occur with aging.
