Ear Correction Surgery: An Overview
Ear correction surgery, or otoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at altering the shape, size, or position of the ears to allow them to complement your overall appearance.
Otoplasty surgery can be used to:
- Pin back protruding ears
- Reduce the size of disproportionate ears
- Improve asymmetry between uneven ears
- Correct deformities present at birth or caused by injury
- Revise unsatisfactory results from previous ear surgery
An otoplasty ear surgery aims to achieve a more natural ear shape while restoring both balance and proportion to the ears and face.
Preparation: First Step Towards Otoplasty in Dubai
Preparing for any surgery can be a stressful and nerve-wracking experience. However, the process can be much easier to handle with the right guidance and preparation.
- Consultation: The preparation of the surgery starts with a consultation with Dr. Paulo A. Escobar, a leading otoplasty surgeon in Dubai. He will ask why you want otoplasty and what you expect from the surgery.
- Physical Exam: He will examine the placement, size, shape, and symmetry of your ears. He might even take pictures of your ears for a medical record.
- Other Preparations: You'll likely be asked to avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements to reduce the risk of bleeding. You will be asked to refrain from smoking before ear correction to decrease any complications.
Otoplasty Procedure: Crafting Your Ideal Ear
The otoplasty is performed under general or local anesthesia, and it takes about two to three hours to complete. Any additional cosmetic procedures performed alongside ear surgery for adults will increase the surgical and recovery time.
Otoplasty techniques vary depending on the correction needed, and the technique chosen by Dr. Escobar will dictate where incisions are made and the resulting scars.
Once the incisions are made, Dr. Escobar might remove excess cartilage and skin. Then, he will carefully sculpt the cartilage into the desired position. Some techniques involve removing ear cartilage, while others reshape the ear through precise sutures to create the final shape of the ear cartilage.
Finally, stitches are used to close the skin incisions and a compression bandage will be used for 24h to avoid complications and reduce the inflammation after the surgery.
Recovery: Navigating Your Healing Journey
After your ear correction surgery, you can expect to feel some discomfort and side effects such as minor swelling and bruising.
Most adults and children can comfortably resume their normal activities like work or school after about a week of recovery. However, children may need additional care or supervision during this period to ensure they heal properly.
Dr. Paulo A. Escobar will provide aftercare instructions post-surgery to improve your recovery experience. These include:
- Sleep with an elastic band that holds the position of the ears while they heal.
- Avoid touching or scratching your ears.
- Take medications as prescribed by Dr. Paulo A. Escobar to manage any discomfort.
- Wear clothing you don't have to pull over your head, such as button-up shirts.

Addressing Common Questions
Ear reshaping surgery in Dubai corrects ear deformities by reshaping, repositioning, or resizing the ears so they look better and more balanced.
Technically, there isn’t an age limit for otoplasty candidates if the ears are fully developed. Children as young as 8 years can also get otoplasty as their ears usually develop by this time.
Otoplasty only focuses on your outer ear and does not interfere with your inner ear, meaning it is not likely to affect your hearing.
