Ear Correction Surgery

Ears play a vital role in the overall symmetry and aesthetics of the face. If you are self-conscious about protruding, misshapen, or asymmetrical ears, ear correction surgery (otoplasty) offers an effective solution. Dr. Charu Sharma, a leading plastic and cosmetic surgeon in Delhi, specializes in safe and advanced otoplasty procedures to help patients achieve natural-looking, proportionate ears.

What is Ear Correction Surgery (Otoplasty)?

Otoplasty, or ear correction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape, reposition, or reduce the size of the ears. It is commonly performed to correct:

• Protruding ears (ears that stick out excessively)
• Asymmetrical or misshapen ears
• Large or stretched earlobes
• Congenital ear deformities
• Damaged or torn earlobes

Types of Ear Correction Surgery

1. Ear Pinning Surgery (Setback Otoplasty)

For protruding ears, the cartilage is reshaped and repositioned closer to the head to create a more natural appearance.

2. Ear Reshaping Surgery

For misshapen or asymmetrical ears, the cartilage is carefully contoured to improve ear structure and proportion.

3. Earlobe Reduction & Repair

For large, stretched, or torn earlobes, this procedure restores their natural shape and size.

4. Congenital Ear Deformity Correction

For birth-related abnormalities like lop ear, cup ear, or Stahl’s ear, otoplasty provides functional and aesthetic improvement.

How to Prepare for Otoplasty?

• Consultation with Dr. Charu Sharma to assess ear structure and discuss aesthetic goals.
• Medical evaluation to ensure you are a suitable candidate.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol at least 2 weeks before surgery to promote healing.
• Refrain from blood-thinning medications like aspirin unless advised otherwise.
• Plan time for recovery, as mild swelling and bandaging may be required post-surgery.

The Otoplasty Procedure

Step 1: Anesthesia

• Local or general anesthesia is used based on the complexity of the procedure.

Step 2: Incisions & Reshaping

• Small incisions are made behind the ears to access and reshape the cartilage.
• The cartilage is sculpted, repositioned, or removed as needed.

Step 3: Suturing & Bandaging

• The incisions are closed with fine sutures to ensure minimal scarring.
• A protective bandage is applied to support healing and maintain the new ear position.

Recovery & Post-Procedure Care

• Mild swelling and discomfort for the first few days.
• Wear a headband for a few weeks to maintain ear positioning.
• Avoid strenuous activities for 2-3 weeks.
• Final results become visible within a few months as healing progresses.
