Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) A plan for you.

A personalized approach

Assessment considers age, cartilage characteristics, skin, symmetry, and expectations. Planning studies the proportions between the ears and the rest of the face.

Otoplasty: what to expect

Consultation includes medical history and an ear examination. Clinical photographs help evaluate the structures and discuss correction options.

Factors that may affect surgery are reviewed, including smoking, blood pressure, healing, and clotting concerns. Before a decision, the specialist explains the technique, anesthesia, setting, possible complications, and costs.

Cost of otoplasty

The estimate depends on the reason for surgery and its complexity. A single price cannot be applied without an assessment.

• Initial surgery or revision of a previous procedure.
• Expected duration and extent of surgery.
• Required surgical setting and anesthesia.
• Need for cartilage or skin grafts.

Ear reshaping surgery

Anesthesia may be local with sedation or general, according to the case. The surgeon explains how the cartilage will be reshaped and where incisions will be placed.

Dressings and, when indicated, a support band may be used afterward. Discomfort, rest, sleeping position, and how long to use these supports are discussed with the team; avoid pressure on the ears unless your surgeon advises otherwise.

Your consultation

Request an assessment to discuss the features you would like to change or a reconstructive need. Dr. Santos explains alternatives and follow-up before developing a plan.
