This type of surgery is well known as there are many people who suffer from some kind of complex with their ears.

To carry out an otoplasty, the surgeon will have to make an incision behind the ear, and even though this is made in a part that is barely visible, the scarring will also be almost unnoticeable. After the incision is made, the doctor will remodel the cartilage to shape the ear.

The results of the otoplasty are permanent. It is important that the patient is aware that a local anaesthetic is usually used for this type of cosmetic surgery, although the patient’s preferences and the appraisal of the surgeon will also be taken into account at the time of operating. If, for example, the procedure includes more extensive work or if the operation is going to be performed on a particularly young patient, a general anaesthetic is usually used.
