Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that adjusts the position, shape or size of the ears. It is commonly performed to reduce prominent or “sticking out” ears by bringing them closer to the side of the head, but it can also refine ear folds and correct certain congenital or post‑traumatic deformities.
During surgery, the cartilage at the back of the ear is carefully reshaped and secured with internal sutures to create a natural, smooth contour. Incisions are typically hidden behind the ear or within existing folds so that any scars are discreet once healed.
Suitable candidates generally include adults and children whose ears have finished most of their growth (usually from around 5–6 years of age), who are healthy and have realistic expectations. A consultation with Dr. Metuse is essential to determine the safest, most appropriate approach for your specific anatomy and goals.
Many patients choosing otoplasty also benefit from complementary facial procedures to refine overall balance and rejuvenation.
Comprehensive facial rejuvenation to address sagging and restore youthful contours.
Nose reshaping surgery to enhance facial harmony and, when needed, improve breathing.
Eyelid surgery to address drooping lids or under-eye bags for a more rested appearance.
