What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty or Pinnaplasty, also known as ear correction or reshaping surgery, is an ear cosmetic surgery. Ear surgery provides patients with the desired ear shape and size. It can be claimed that many people possess misshapen ears; ears stick out far from the head, large or small ears, and ears with missing cartilage. Under these conditions, otoplasty saves people from ear irregularities and achieves a more aesthetically pleasing and proportionate appearance. The surgeon may use techniques such as ear pinning, reduction, and augmentation during the otoplasty procedure, performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on otoplasty’s  combination with other surgeries such as rhinoplasty.

Different Types of Otoplasty

Ear Pinning (Prominent Ear Correction)

Ear pinning, also known as prominent ear correction or pinnaplasty, is a surgical procedure that addresses ears that stick out prominently from the head. It involves reshaping the cartilage of the ear and repositioning it closer to the head. The surgeon typically makes an incision on the back of the ear or within the natural creases to access the cartilage. They may remove or fold excess cartilage to create a more natural contour. Sutures are then used to secure the ear in its new position.

Ear Reduction

Ear reduction otoplasty is performed to reduce the size of overly large ears. This procedure suits individuals who feel their ears are disproportionately more prominent than their facial features. The surgeon may make incisions along the natural creases or within the ear to access the cartilage. They will then carefully remove some cartilage to achieve a more proportionate appearance.

Ear Augmentation (Otoplasty for Underdeveloped Ears)

Ear augmentation, also known as otoplasty for underdeveloped ears, is performed to address conditions where the outer ear is underdeveloped, such as in cases of microtia. The surgeon can use various techniques, including tissue grafts or implants, to create or enhance the appearance of the outer ear. The goal is to provide a more functional and natural-looking ear.

Step-by-Step Otoplasty in Turkey

  1. Consultation: As with any other surgery, the first step of the procedure is the consultation. The surgeon will review the patient’s medical history during the consultation and do the necessary pre-op tests. Throughout the consultation, patients discuss their goals, expectations and concerns; the surgeon will assess their ears’ shape, size, and position and discuss the best approach to achieve the desired results.
  2. Anesthesia: After the consultation, anesthesia is applied just before the surgery starts.
  3. Incision Placement: The surgeon will realize the incision behind the ear, along the natural crease where the ear meets the head. This placement helps conceal any potential scarring.
  4. Reshaping the Ear: The surgeon will use various techniques to reshape the ear cartilage. Depending on the patients’ needs and expectations, this may involve scoring, ear folding, or removing excess cartilage to achieve the desired shape and position.
  5. Repositioning the Ears: If necessary, the surgeon will adjust the position of the ears closer to the head. This is done by suturing the cartilage to maintain the new place.
  6. Closing the Incisions: The surgeon will close the incisions using fine, dissolvable sutures once the desired reshaping and repositioning are achieved.

Otoplasty Turkey Price vs. Otoplasty Cost UK

One of the main considerations of otoplasty patients is “How much is ear correction surgery in Turkey?” Turkey, which has been a popular destination for cosmetic surgeries, has proven itself in various plastic surgeries, such as facelift, BBL, liposuction, and many more. In addition to Turkey’s success rate in surgeries and people’s satisfaction with the procedures, the procedures’ costs in Turkey is another significant factor attracting thousands of international people. 

Compared to otoplasty cost UK, other European countries, and the US, otoplasty Turkey price is 70% less.  In Turkey, the average cost for ear surgery starts at a minimum of 1,500€ and goes up to a maximum of 2,500€. Conversely, the prices are notably higher when examining the average UK and US costs. Otoplasty in the UK ranges from 3,000€ to 5,000€, while in the US, it varies from 4,000€ to 8,000€.

It is essential to note that the prices can vary depending on the surgeon’s expertise and additional services such as accommodation, airport transfers, nurse services, after-care kits, etc. In Turkey, the average prices are determined, including all these factors. Therefore, considering the operation’s success, high-quality services with lower costs, and comfort during the visit, many people choose Turkey for the procedure.

Otoplasty Aftercare

After an ear reshaping surgery, the patient should be aware of what should be done and should not be done during the recovery. The aftercare, as with any other surgery,  significantly impacts the results. Therefore, the patient must consider: 

Avoid “pull-over” clothing: Pulling clothing over the head can pressure the ears and disrupt the delicate healing process. It’s essential to avoid unnecessary stress or pressure on the surgical site. Patients should wear loose-fitting, button-down shirts to prevent complications or discomfort.

Avoid Getting Water in the Ears: Keeping the ears dry, especially in the early stages of recovery, is important. Patients should avoid activities like swimming, and when you shower, prevent water from getting into the ears.
