Otoplasty (Ear Pinning)

Correct prominent or misshapen ears with expert ear surgery in Turkey

Overview

Otoplasty (ear pinning) corrects ears that protrude significantly from the head or have an unusual shape. The surgery repositions the ear cartilage and skin to create a more natural position, typically setting the ear closer to the head. It is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for children and adults alike, and Turkey offers this surgery at very affordable prices with excellent outcomes.

Key Benefits

✓Permanent correction of prominent ears
✓Dramatic improvement in self-confidence
✓Performed under local anaesthetic in adults
✓Scars hidden behind the ear
✓Suitable from age 5–6 once the ear is fully developed
✓Among the most affordable cosmetic surgeries in Turkey

Procedure Options

Ear Pinning (Standard Otoplasty)

Cartilage scored, folded, and sutured to set the ear at a more natural angle relative to the head.

Ear Reshaping

Addresses unusual ear shapes — shell ear, lop ear, or other structural irregularities — beyond simple protrusion.

Earlobe Repair / Reduction

Corrects split, stretched, or overly large earlobes — including from earring stretching or ageing.

What to Expect

Surgery typically takes 1–2 hours under local anaesthetic (adults) or general anaesthesia (children). A head bandage is worn for 1–2 weeks. Sutures removed at 7–10 days. Most patients return home within 5–7 days.

Recovery Timeline

5–7 days in Turkey. Head bandage for 1–2 weeks. Avoid contact sports for 6 weeks.
