Is Otoplasty Surgery Right For Me?
Otoplasty can be a very effective procedure for the most suitable candidate – but it isn’t right for everyone.
You May Be a Good Candidate If You:
Concerned about how far your ears stick out
- Believe your ears draw attention in photos and social situations
Feel your ears look out of proportion
Would like a natural-looking adjustment
It May Not Be Right If You:
Your concerns could be better addressed through discussion or a non-surgical approach
Have unrealistic expectations relating to results and recovery

What happens during the surgery?
Otoplasty is carried out under local anaesthetic,
meaning the specific area is numbed while you remain awake throughout the procedure.
1. Incision placement
Discreet incisions are made allowing access to the cartilage.
2. Cartilage adjustment
The underlying ear cartilage is adjusted and secured so the ears sit closer to the head. This is done using precise techniques tailored to each individual.
3. Closing the incisions
Once the ears have been repositioned, the incisions are closed using sutures to support healing.
4. Supportive bandaging
A protective dressing is applied at the end of the procedure to support the ears and help maintain their new position during the early healing phase.
Surgical techniques and treatment plans may vary between individuals
Will I be awake during otoplasty surgery?
Yes. Ear pinning surgery is performed under local anaesthetic, which means the relevant area is numbed while you remain awake.
Local anaesthetic allows for a quicker recovery, avoids the risks associated with general anaesthetic, and means people can usually return home the same day.
What Is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, also referred to as ear pinning surgery or prominent ear correction, is a procedure that repositions the ears by adjusting the underlying cartilage. The aim is to reduce how far the ears protrude away from the face.
Incisions are typically placed discreetly behind the ear, helping to minimise visible scarring.
Otoplasty in Hale with Mr Alvi (ENT Surgeon) is performed as a day case under local anaesthetic, allowing you to return home the same day.
People often consider otoplasty to help reposition prominent ears, improve symmetry, and feel more comfortable in social or professional settings.

Recovery & Aftercare
After otoplasty, it is common to experience some swelling
or bruising while the ears heal. A supportive head dressing is used
initially to help protect the ears during the early recovery period.
During recovery, you may be advised to:
- Take
some time away from work, e.g. around 7–10 days
- Avoid
strenuous activity for a period of time
- Wear
a suitable protective headband at night during the early stages of
healing
Your surgeon will provide individual aftercare guidance
and a recovery plan tailored to you, helping to support safe healing and the
best possible outcome.
Risks & Honest Considerations
As with all surgery, rhinoplasty carries risks, including:
- Bruising and swelling.
- Infection or delayed healing
- Stiff ears
- Scarring
- Asymmetry
