Benefits of Ear Correction
Otoplasty, or ear reshaping surgery, is more than just a cosmetic procedure—it can have a meaningful impact on both appearance and self-confidence. This surgery provides several advantages, including:
- Improved Facial Proportions – Adjusting the shape and position of the ears helps create a more balanced look, enhancing overall facial symmetry for a natural and harmonious appearance.
- Greater Everyday Comfort – Correcting ear positioning can make it easier to wear glasses, headphones, or helmets without irritation, improving day-to-day practicality.
- Increased Confidence – Many patients feel a significant boost in self-esteem after surgery, as correcting ear concerns can lead to greater ease in social and personal interactions.
- Permanent Results – Unlike temporary fixes, ear reshaping surgery offers a long-term solution, with changes that last a lifetime.
- Straightforward and Low-Risk – Usually performed under local anaesthesia, the procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and has a relatively short recovery period, allowing patients to resume normal activities quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does ear reshaping surgery involve?
What does ear reshaping surgery involve?
Ear reshaping surgery, or otoplasty, is a procedure that adjusts the size, shape, or position of the ears. It is commonly used to correct prominent ears, asymmetry, or misshapen cartilage. The goal is to create a natural and balanced appearance that complements the facial features while ensuring subtle and refined results.
Who is suitable for otoplasty?
Who is suitable for otoplasty?
Otoplasty is an option for both children and adults who are self-conscious about their ears. It is often recommended for children aged 4-5, as their ear cartilage is still soft and easier to reshape. However, adults in good health can also undergo the procedure at any age.
How long does the procedure take?
How long does the procedure take?
Surgery typically lasts between one and two hours, depending on the extent of correction required.
Are the results permanent?
Are the results permanent?
Yes, otoplasty provides long-lasting results. The reshaped cartilage maintains its new position, and additional treatment is rarely needed. While natural ageing may cause minor changes over time, these are usually subtle.
What are the possible risks?
What are the possible risks?
As with any surgery, otoplasty carries some risks, though complications are uncommon. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, uneven results, or temporary changes in skin sensation.
Will there be visible scarring?
Will there be visible scarring?
Scarring is minimal, as incisions are made behind the ear or within its natural folds. This ensures that any scars are discreet and difficult to notice once healed. Over time, they fade even further.
Can otoplasty be combined with other cosmetic treatments?
Can otoplasty be combined with other cosmetic treatments?
Yes, ear reshaping surgery can be carried out alongside procedures such as rhinoplasty, facelifts, or other facial aesthetic treatments. If you are considering multiple procedures, your surgeon can advise on the best approach to achieve a balanced, natural look.

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.
