What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty, also known as ear reshaping or pinnaplasty, is a procedure designed to reposition or reshape the ears for a more balanced and natural appearance. At Cedre Aesthetics, this surgery is commonly performed to correct prominent ears, uneven shapes, or earlobe concerns, whether caused by genetics, injury, or ageing. Our approach is rooted in artistic precision and ethical care. The goal is not to create perfection, but to restore proportion, confidence, and peace of mind—particularly for those who have felt self-conscious about their ears. Suitable for both adults and children with fully developed ears, otoplasty is a safe, subtle, and highly personalised aesthetic solution.

What are the Benefits of Otoplasty?

Otoplasty offers meaningful benefits, extending beyond aesthetics to emotional well-being. These include:

• Improved facial symmetry with more proportionate ears
• Reduced self-consciousness linked to ear prominence
• Alleviation of social anxiety stemming from childhood teasing or adult insecurity
• Customised correction of conditions like lop ear, overly large earlobes, or post-injury deformities
• Refined and natural appearance from every angle
• Long-term results that grow with you or your child.

Why Choose Cedre Aesthetics for Your Otoplasty?

Ethically Driven

Otoplasty at Cedre is offered with empathy and transparency—particularly important for younger or self-conscious patients. We focus on realistic outcomes and emotional well-being.

Education-First Ethos

Using Adoreal’s simulation tools, we visually explain ear positioning, symmetry, and what to expect—so you or your child can feel reassured and well-informed.

Hyper-Personalised Care

Each ear is assessed independently. We account for cartilage strength, ear shape, and face width using Adoreal’s precision planning tools to achieve natural symmetry.

Exceptional Surgical Outcomes

Our otoplasty techniques are minimally invasive, with hidden incisions and predictable healing. Our follow-up support ensures ears remain in ideal position over time.

Otoplasty Recovery Timeline

Week 1-2

Mild swelling and bruising expected. Ears may feel tender and require protection with a light headband at night. Most patients are back to work after 5–7 days.

Week 3-4

Bruising subsides further. Sutures (if any) are usually dissolved or removed. Avoid contact sports or any activity that risks trauma to the ears.

Month 2-3

Swelling continues to resolve. Ears begin to settle naturally into their new, refined shape. Active lifestyle can usually be fully resumed.

Month 6-12

Final results are visible. Scars (well-hidden where possible) mature and fade. Most patients report ongoing emotional confidence.

From the initial telephone consultation to now being 2 weeks post op I can say that the service and care provided by Dr Hamadeh and his team is absolutely incredible!! I instantly knew this was the surgeon I wanted to go with for my rhinoplasty. Dr Hamadeh is very thorough and realistic with expectations, which is something that helped me in setting a realistic expectation for my rhinoplasty. Thank you again! 😊

Dr. Hamadeh and Jazzmeen were amazing from start to finish. They made me feel comfortable, explained everything clearly, and the care I received before and after surgery was outstanding. I’m so happy with my results and grateful for their support!

Amazing experience from start to finish! The staff are so incredibly helpful and nice and i felt relaxed and at ease the whole time. I would highly recommend Dr Hamadeh and my confidence has been improved massively. I’ve wanted this surgery for 7 years and i couldn’t have chosen a better surgeon to do my septorhinosplasty. 10/10 experience!

I am 2 months post op and have had a great experience with Dr Hamadeh. He was very thorough in my appointments beforehand and discussed realistic expectations. Really happy with the results so far! Pre and post care has been fantastic and big shout out to Jazzmeen who has been amazing! I have had a lot of questions, messaging her day and night and she has been so helpful and reassuring throughout. Being a bit of a worrier with lots of questions, I am not sure what I would have done without Jazzmeen! Thank you!!!
