Plastic surgery
Ear Correction (Otoplasty)
Surgery to set back or reshape prominent ears, planned for comfort with glasses, hair, and a headband period after the operation.
Overview
Otoplasty changes how far the ear stands from the head or how the folds are shaped. It is usually a shorter stay than facial lifting, but it still needs a precise cartilage plan and a headband routine. The surgeon looks at each ear separately; perfect symmetry is uncommon in unoperated ears too. Adults and older adolescents are typical on this coordinated pathway. Meridia arranges the dressing change and the first night’s sleeping advice. We do not treat this as a same-afternoon tourist procedure.
Who it may be suitable for
- Adults bothered by prominence or fold shape after an in-person cartilage exam
- Patients who can wear a headband as instructed and sleep on their back at first
Techniques
- Cartilage scoring or sutures as the anatomy requires
- Setback planned per ear
Procedure timeline
01
Ear mapping
Prominence and fold details are recorded for each side.
02
Procedure
Often day-case with a dressing briefing the same day.
Recovery
- A protective headband is typical. Sleeping on the ear too soon can undo a careful setback.
Expected process
- 1. Share photos, medical history, and travel constraints with a coordinator
- 2. A clinician reviews suitability before any itinerary is confirmed
- 3. Transfers, hotel nights, and appointments are arranged if you choose a coordinated package
Is this treatment right for me?
This is not a medical diagnosis. Final suitability requires professional evaluation.

Questions
The aim is a natural setback, not a flat ear against the skull. Over-correction is a planning error, not a style.
