otoplasty

There are many types of ear deformities, and each one requires a tailored approach. Otoplasty is most commonly used to correct ears that protrude too far from the head, creating a more proportionate and harmonious appearance.

In a naturally balanced profile, ears blend into the overall facial structure — not distract from it. But if your ears are prominent, misshapen, or affected by piercings, trauma, or genetics, otoplasty can offer a meaningful, long-lasting solution.

At VedaNu Wellness, we provide a full range of ear contouring services — from ear pinning and reshaping to lobe repair — all delivered with precision and artistry. Whether you're looking to restore symmetry, reduce prominence, or correct a congenital issue, we’ll develop a treatment plan that supports your ideal look and enhances your confidence.

At VedaNu Wellness, we offer surgical solutions for patients looking to correct cosmetic concerns with their ears or earlobes. Common issues we treat include:

• Naturally large or protruding ears
• Ears that hang too low
• Stretched earlobes from heavy earrings
• Torn or split earlobes
• Elongated holes from gauges or large piercings
   

Whether you’re bothered by the overall shape of your ears or dealing with damaged earlobes, our team offers safe, in-office procedures to restore symmetry, proportion, and confidence.

Ear surgery is typically performed through discreet incisions hidden within the natural folds of the ear or behind it. For prominent ears, a technique called ear pinning (otoplasty) is often used to reposition the ears closer to the head using permanent internal sutures. These sutures are invisible and help maintain your ear’s new shape.

Most procedures take about 1 to 1.5 hours, though more involved reshaping or resizing may take up to 2–3 hours. The surgery involves making a small incision behind the ear, exposing and reshaping the cartilage to achieve a natural contour. Once the ears are in the desired position, stitches are used to close the incision and hold everything in place.

A soft, supportive dressing is wrapped around the head after surgery to protect the ears, minimize swelling, and promote proper healing.

Both children and adults with protruding, misshapen, or asymmetrical ears may benefit from otoplasty. While the procedure can be performed at any age, it’s typically recommended once the ears have reached near-adult size — usually around five years old.

For children, undergoing otoplasty early has two distinct advantages:

• The cartilage is still soft and pliable, making it easier to reshape.
• Correcting ear appearance at a young age can prevent teasing and improve self-esteem throughout childhood and beyond.
   

Of course, otoplasty is also an excellent option for adults looking to enhance facial harmony or correct lifelong insecurities.

Your otoplasty journey begins with a personalized consultation at VedaNu Wellness, where your surgeon will listen closely to your goals and concerns. After evaluating the shape, size, and projection of your ears, they’ll create a custom surgical plan designed to restore balance and symmetry.

While many patients are adults, our team is also highly experienced in treating children. We take special care to ensure young patients feel safe, comfortable, and understood, offering guidance that puts both parents and children at ease.

Recovery after otoplasty is generally smooth and well-tolerated. Most patients return to work, school, or normal activities within just a few days. Any discomfort is typically mild and easily managed with medication. Bruising and swelling are common but usually resolve within 1 to 2 weeks.

After surgery:

• Bandages will be applied to protect the ears during healing.
• Patients should avoid wearing headphones and sleeping on their side for the first few weeks.
• Strenuous activity should be postponed until your surgeon gives clearance.
   

We’ll provide detailed post-op care instructions and follow up closely to ensure your healing process is seamless and your results are long-lasting.
