What is an 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 an 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.

Through out the whole process mainly the nurse (kelly) made sure she was there for me 24/7 with only a call or text away, which her response with them was very fast. I was constantly felt comfortable. Results were perfect and exactly what I wanted thank you. 🙏🏼
