Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the shape, size, or position of the ears. Its objective is to correct irregularities to create a more harmonious appearance with other facial features and increase the patient's confidence.
This procedure must be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with deep knowledge of facial anatomy. In Colombia, otoplasty is a highly specialized technique, performed by 82.9% of the country's certified plastic surgeons, which ensures a high level of experience and safe results.
It is a very safe procedure with permanent results that improve quality of life. Here are the key points:
- Trusted and Common Procedure: Over 363,000 ear surgeries were performed worldwide in 2024, being popular among both adults and children.
- Outpatient Surgery: It is generally an outpatient procedure that lasts between 1 and 2 hours. Depending on the case, it is performed with local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia.
- Simple Recovery: An elastic headband is required for a few days. Most patients return to their school or work activities in approximately one week.
- Permanent Results: The improvements achieved with otoplasty are permanent. The new shape and position of the ears will last a lifetime.
