Floppy ears are a very common aesthetic problem that can occur only on one or both sides. With otoplasty, the shape of the ears is corrected, they get their correct position, and the size is adjusted if necessary. The procedure is most commonly performed on children between the ages of 4 and 14 but is also perfectly suitable for adults.

01.
Procedure
The procedure is performed using an invisible incision placed behind the ear. The ear’s internal structure is corrected through it, and its shape is altered. After the otoplasty, a compression bandage is required for four weeks.
02.
How does the patient recover?
Initially, there is swelling and bruising of the ear and the surrounding area that gradually subsides. The pressure band helps reduce the swelling and maintain the ear shape achieved by the surgery.
The modern technology we use, disposable materials, and advanced techniques guarantee both the procedure result and the recovery time reduction. To ensure the procedure’s success and maintain the result for a long time, smoking cessation is strongly suggested at least six weeks before the procedure and during the rehabilitation period.

Potential risks
Intense or massive scars behind the ear are possible, although they are usually hidden and not disturbing. There is the possibility of cartilage infection, build-up of fluid or blood clots that may need to be drained, or recurrence of the ear’s “popping” that requires repeat surgery.
