otoplasty techniques

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure to change the shape, position, or size of the ears. Common techniques involve creating a natural fold or reducing the cartilage to bring prominent ears closer to the head. Surgeons make small incisions behind the ear, then sculpt, fold, or remove cartilage as needed. The goal is to achieve a balanced, natural look while ensuring the ears stay securely in place. The procedure can be done under local or general anesthesia, and recovery typically involves mild swelling or discomfort for a few days. Overall, otoplasty aims to boost confidence with proportionate, well-positioned ears.
