Ear Correction Surgery (Otoplasty) at WIH Hospital: Discovering Harmony in Your Appearance

Understanding Ear Correction Surgery (or) Otoplasty

Ear correction surgery (Otoplasty) is a highly effective surgical procedure performed to improve the shape, position, or proportion of the ear. This surgery can address concerns, from congenital conditions to ear deformities resulting from injury or previous surgeries. The goal of otoplasty is to create a more natural and balanced appearance of the ears.

Comprehensive Ear Correction Procedures at WIH Hospital

WIH Hospital offers a spectrum of advanced ear correction techniques, tailored to meet the unique needs and aesthetic goals of each patient.

     Bat Ear or Pinback Ear Correction (Prominent Ear Otoplasty)

     This technique involves reshaping the ear cartilage to create or enhance the natural folds and contours of the ear in its desired position, pinning the ear back closer to the head. If necessary, our surgeons can skillfully reduce the size of the concha to further improve the ear’s proportion and position.

 

    Earlobe Reshaping Techniques

  • Torn or Split Earlobe Repair: This common procedure addresses earlobes that have been partially or completely torn due to heavy earrings, trauma, or gauges.
  • Stretched Earlobe Repair (Gauge Repair): This procedure involves reducing the stretched opening and restoring the earlobe to a more conventional appearance.
  • Earlobe Reduction: This procedure reduces their size to create a more balanced and proportionate look to the rest of the ear and face.

Earlobe Reshaping for Aesthetic Concerns: we can refine the shape of earlobes to enhance their aesthetic appeal, addressing irregularities or imbalances.
