Ear Reshaping for Natural, Balanced Results
Prominent or asymmetrical ears can impact self-confidence at any age—childhood or adulthood. Otoplasty, or ear reshaping surgery, is a safe and effective procedure that can be performed from age 6 or 7, once the ears are fully developed. It corrects shape, position, or symmetry, creating a more natural and balanced look. Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic provides personalized care for both children and adults, delivering subtle, refined results with minimal scarring to help patients feel more comfortable in their appearance.

  • Otoplasty is ideal for correcting:

    • Protruding or prominent ears
    • Asymmetrical ear shape or position
    • Overly large ears (macrotia)
    • Misshapen ear cartilage
    • Previous unsatisfactory ear surgery (revision otoplasty)

  • You may be a good candidate if you:

    • Are bothered by the size, shape, or position of your ears
    • Are over 6 years old with fully developed ear cartilage
    • Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
    • Want to improve ear symmetry or reduce prominence
Zeal Approach to Otoplasty
Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic uses precise cartilage reshaping techniques to achieve natural ear positioning while minimizing visible scarring. Incisions are carefully placed behind the ear to hide any surgical marks.
  • Ear Pinning
    To reposition prominent ears closer to the head
  • Cartilage Reshaping
    To improve ear shape and definition

  • Size Reduction (macrotia correction)
    If the ears appear disproportionately large
  • Procedure Overview

    • Surgical Time: 1.5-2 hours
    • Incisions: Hidden behind the ear in the natural crease
    • Outpatient: No hospital stay required
