Benefits of Ear Correction
Ear reshaping surgery, also known as otoplasty, offers a range of benefits that go beyond mere cosmetic enhancement. This procedure can significantly improve both physical appearance and emotional well-being. Here are some key advantages:
- Enhanced Facial Harmony: By refining ear shape and position, otoplasty creates a more balanced facial profile. This improved symmetry often leads to a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.
- Increased Comfort: Repositioned ears can reduce discomfort when wearing glasses, headphones, or helmets. This practical benefit enhances daily comfort and functionality.
- Boost in Self-Assurance: Many patients report a significant increase in self-confidence following the procedure. Addressing long-standing concerns about ear appearance often leads to improved social interactions and personal satisfaction.
- Long-Lasting Results: Unlike temporary solutions, otoplasty provides enduring results. The changes made during surgery are permanent, offering a lifelong solution to ear-related concerns.
- Minimally Invasive Approach: Typically performed under local anaesthesia, otoplasty is considered a safe and low-risk procedure. Recovery time is generally short, allowing patients to return to normal activities quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does otoplasty involve?
What does otoplasty involve?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct the shape, size, or position of the ears. It can address concerns such as protruding ears, asymmetry, or misshapen cartilage. The procedure aims to create a natural, proportionate look that enhances facial balance while maintaining a discreet and refined result.
Who is a good candidate for otoplasty?
Who is a good candidate for otoplasty?
Otoplasty is suitable for both children and adults who are unhappy with the appearance of their ears. The procedure is commonly performed on children as young as 4-5 years old, as their ear cartilage is still flexible, making correction easier. Adults of any age can also undergo otoplasty, provided they are in good overall health.
How long does otoplasty surgery take?
How long does otoplasty surgery take?
The procedure typically takes between 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the correction.
Are the results permanent?
Are the results permanent?
In most cases, otoplasty results are permanent. The reshaped cartilage remains in its new position, and further correction is rarely needed. However, as with any part of the body, natural ageing may cause subtle changes over time, but these are typically minimal.
Will I have visible scars after otoplasty?
Will I have visible scars after otoplasty?
Scarring is minimal, as incisions are typically placed behind the ear or within its natural folds. This placement ensures that any scars remain discreet and barely noticeable once healed. Over time, scars fade further and become almost invisible.
Can I combine otoplasty with other cosmetic procedures?
Can I combine otoplasty with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, otoplasty can be performed alongside other facial procedures, such as rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), a facelift, or other aesthetic treatments. If you are considering multiple procedures, your surgeon can discuss the best approach to achieve a balanced and natural-looking result.

Facelift surgery – I found a great surgeon!
Having never forayed into the world of cosmetic surgery, I feel I was very fortunate to find Mr Quaba.
Murrayfield Hospital supplied me with a list of surgeons upon my initial query regarding a neck/lower facelift and I looked through each of their profiles and kept coming back to the Quaba practice.
From my first consultation, Mr Quaba put me at ease and gave me very realistic expectations of the outcome if I chose to go for surgery. He explained all the risks involved and confirmed everything we discussed in writing, which gave me the time and the opportunity to fully consider if this was the right choice for me.
I went ahead with the neck and lower facelift a few months later and felt completely safe in Mr Quaba’s hands. He has an excellent gentle manner. I also love the fact that he and his father work together. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.
I am so glad I opted for my surgery and am very happy with the results.
