Types of otoplasty
Depending on the goals of plastic surgery of the auricles, the method of performing plastic surgery, the method of surgical correction and other factors, otoplasty is divided into different types:
Depending on the purpose of the plastic surgery, the following types of otoplasty are distinguished:
- Reconstructive plastic surgery of the auricles is the correction of various deformations, restoration of part of the ear or the entire auricle. The patient's cartilage and soft tissues are used as an autograft, which are not rejected and take root with almost 100% probability. But reconstructive plastic surgery is a rather complicated procedure, so the recovery period after surgery lasts longer (2-6 months) than after aesthetic surgery. And only an experienced plastic surgeon can perform the procedure. During reconstructive plastic surgery of the auricles, a "pocket" is created under the skin, where cartilage is placed and an ear is formed
- Aesthetic plastic surgery of the auricles. A simpler plastic surgery, during which the plastic surgeon reduces the size of the auricles, changes their shape, corrects contours, protruding ears, earlobe defects, etc. In our clinic, aesthetic otoplasty of one ear costs from 38,500 rubles. Bilateral aesthetic otoplasty with reconstruction costs from 55,000 rubles. The cost of otoplasty depends on the complexity of the procedure and technique.

According to plastic surgery technique:
- Traditional otoplasty – plastic surgery using a scalpel
- Laser auricular plastic surgery is a more effective and popular procedure for correcting auricles today
- Seamless otoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure to correct the shape of the auricles through an incision behind the ear, which is then not stitched
- Mustard suture otoplasty of the ears – correction of the cartilaginous tissue of the ears through an incision using suture material, which bends the cartilage
- Furnas suture auricular plastic surgery – otoplasty, in which a plastic surgeon sutures cartilage to the temporal bone
- Auricular plastic surgery without removing cartilage tissue is a plastic surgery performed on children
- Closed otoplasty is a plastic surgery without incisions, but through punctures
Depending on the complexity of the procedure, there are degrees of otoplasty:
- 1st degree of complexity – minor correction of the shape of the ears, defects in the relief of the auricles by removing part of the cartilaginous tissue
- 2nd degree – correction of severe ear protrusion, defects of the helix and antihelix
- Grade 3 – the most complex plastic surgery, serious plastic surgery of cartilage in the presence of anatomical abnormalities in the structure of the ears
To correct protruding ears, plastic surgeons use suture plastic surgery of the auricles. Large earlobes are corrected by excising excess tissue and forming a new earlobe. Sometimes, patients of otoplasty specialists are those who have tunnels. To correct stretching of the earlobe, the tunnel is closed and excess skin is excised. There is also a demand for "elven ears", which requires complex plastic surgery to form a pointed tip of the ears.
If the primary operation to correct ear defects caused the formation of a keloid scar or the aesthetic effect of the plastic surgery was insufficient, the plastic surgeon performs a repeat otoplasty.
General information about the procedure
Traditional and laser otoplasty
Traditional otoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, especially if the patient is a child, or under local anesthesia using a scalpel. The plastic surgeon makes an incision behind the ear or in the front of the ear (depending on the goals of the procedure). In the latter case, the incisions are placed in the folds of the ears so that they remain unnoticeable. Then the shape of the cartilage is corrected and the new position is fixed with sutures. After otoplasty, the patient wears a special fixing bandage.
Laser ear plastic surgery is more expensive than traditional ear plastic surgery, is performed faster and under local anesthesia with a laser scalpel. It is a virtually painless plastic surgery, with less blood than traditional ear plastic surgery, and a shorter recovery period after surgery.
Laser otoplasty is preferable for children, as it does not use anesthesia, is not accompanied by pain, and the incisions after the laser scalpel heal very quickly. During the rehabilitation period, you will need to wear a special bandage that protects the ears from various impacts. And in the first days after otoplasty, painkillers may be needed.
The advantages of laser otoplasty are the precision and smoothness of the lines, less bleeding, minimal risk of infection, short duration of the operation and recovery period after the operation.

What is otoplasty?
Otoplasty is a plastic surgery of the auricles. It corrects their shape, eliminates defects of the auricles or lobes. This is an aesthetic plastic surgery aimed at eliminating excessive protrusion of the auricle (protruding ears), eliminating lop-earedness (the auricle is incorrectly formed), and giving symmetry.
Plastic surgery to change the shape of the auricles is very popular, because it is impossible to correct the ears in any other way. The plastic surgeon performs the correction and gives the ears an anatomically correct and aesthetically attractive shape.
After otoplasty, the patient gets rid of complexes associated with defects of the auricles, their unaesthetic shape or location. A plastic surgeon can correct: protruding ears, deformations of the auricle, asymmetry of the ears. With the help of otoplasty, you can change the shape of the ear and its size. This plastic surgery procedure is performed even on children (from the age of 6).
