About Otoplasty (Ear Correction)

Otoplasty changes the size or shape of the ears, or pins them back if they stick out. It's usually done through a small cut behind the ear and takes 1 to 2 hours, under local or general anaesthetic depending on the technique.

Our planner is for adults only (18 and over).

Who it may suit

Adults who are bothered by the shape or position of their ears.
The surgeon assesses your ears and recommends the technique.

How long you'll stay in Turkiye

With a local anaesthetic you can usually go home the same day. Stitches and the bandage are usually removed after 5 to 10 days, so plan your stay with the clinic around that.

Once you're home
