Ear surgery, known as otoplasty, is designed to permanently improve the appearance of prominent, protruding, or “flared” ears.

This procedure reshapes the underdeveloped antihelical fold (the inner curve of the ear) and corrects excessive conchal prominence, bringing the ears closer to the head for a more balanced look.

Before & After:
Ear Surgery

An informed patient is a confident patient.
Our patients ask: What is the recommended age for otoplasty?

We recommend otoplasty starting at age 6 when the ears have nearly reached their full size. At this stage, the surgery is highly effective in correcting ear prominence and enhancing facial harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions about this Surgery

What post-operative care should I follow after otoplasty?

It is recommended to wear a headband for the first week. Additionally, avoiding contact sports for the first two months is essential to ensure proper healing.

The incisions are made behind the ear, ensuring discreet and nearly invisible scars. Over time, they fade even more, providing a natural result.

Yes, otoplasty results are permanent. Once the ears have been corrected, the changes are definitive.

Large ears, or macrotia, can be corrected through otoplasty, a procedure that sets the ears back, making them less prominent. In many cases, we also reduce the size of the earlobe, achieving a more balanced and natural look.

If earlobe piercings tear due to heavy earrings or trauma, a quick, 30-minute procedure under local anesthesia can restore the earlobe’s appearance. The resulting scar is minimal and virtually unnoticeable.

To find out the cost of your procedure at AmayaClinic®, you can choose between an in-person consultation with Dr. Felipe Amaya or a free digital pre-assessment, which is 100% virtual.

Patients traveling from abroad are recommended to arrive three days before the procedure to prepare properly.
