Turkey depends on modern techniques in cosmetic surgeries, as well as it keeps up with the developments of technology and all the latest in the field of plastic surgery, serving with more affordable prices which are done in the best worldwide cosmetic centers that contain the latest techniques used.
Who is a good candidate for Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is typically used for ears that
- protrude from the head
- are larger or smaller than normal
- have an abnormal shape due to injury, trauma, or a structural issue from birth
- What should I expect after an otoplasty?
Otoplasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis for both adults and children. For children, otoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. Adults may choose between local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Improvement in the appearance of the ears is essentially immediate, however, healing must obviously still take place, and a soft gauze head-wrap is applied at the end of the case to protect the ears. Pain after otoplasty is typically minimal, although the patient will be provided with pain medication if desired. Bruising is also usually minimal and should fade completely, or nearly so, by two weeks post-op. Although heavy lifting and strenuous activity should be avoided for a week, patients can resume their normal activities as soon after surgery as they feel able, and begin enjoying their new appearance.
What are the common side effects during the recovery period?
- ears that feel sore, tender, or itchy
- redness
- swelling
- bruising
- numbness or tingling

Otoplasty, also referred to as cosmetic ear surgery, is a type of cosmetic procedure to change the size, shape, or position of the ear. It is performed on the visible part of the outer ear, called auricle. Some people choose to have the surgery to correct odd-shaped ears due to an injury or birth defect. Others have it because they are concerned with how their ears protrude too far from their head. Otoplasty can be performed at any age after the ears have reached their full size, generally after age 5. In some cases, the surgery may be done as early as age 3.
There are several types of otoplasty. The following are the most common:
- Ear pinning draws the ears closer to the head. It is usually done on people whose ears stick out too far from their head.
- Ear augmentation is ideal for individuals whose ears are small or have not completely developed. This type of otoplasty can increase the size of the outer ear.
- Ear reduction is usually done on people with macrotia, which is a condition when the ears are larger than normal. Otoplasty can reduce the size of the ears.
What's the Recovery Time for Otoplasty Procedures in Istanbul?
The recovery period may vary from one person to another. You may experience numbness for several weeks, and mild bruising for about 2 weeks. For several months, your ears may feel stiff and sore.
You should be able to go back to work and resume your normal activities, including exercise, within one to two weeks after surgery. Physical contact sports, such as rugby, football, or judo, should be avoided for at least 3 months. You should also avoid swimming for up to 8 weeks following your otoplasty.
What's the Success Rate of Otoplasty Procedures in Istanbul?
Otoplasty is a safe and effective procedure, with high satisfaction rates. More than 90% of people who had the procedure claimed to be extremely happy with the results. Note that it may take some time for the result to be fully visible.
While it is a safe procedure, you still need to be aware of possible risks and complications that otoplasty carries. These include bleeding, hematoma formation, infection of the skin, infection of the cartilage of the ear, permanent or temporary numbness around the affected area, scar or keloid formation, unfavorable results, prolonged pain, narrowing of the external ear canal, impaired healing, changes in skin sensation, asymmetry, and overcorrection.
