Otoplasty (Ear Reshaping) in Arameri, Kodagu, Karnataka

What is the best age for otoplasty?

It is often performed on children around age five to seven once ear cartilage has largely finished growing, though it is equally safe and effective for teenagers and adults at any age.

Is otoplasty a painful surgery?

There is mild to moderate discomfort for a few days afterward, well managed with pain medication, and most patients find it far less painful than they expect.

How long is the recovery period?

Most people return to school or work within a week, with a head bandage or headband worn for a few weeks to protect the healing ears during sleep and physical activity.

Are the results of otoplasty permanent?

Yes, the results are generally permanent since the cartilage is reshaped and stabilized, though the ears will continue to age naturally like the rest of the face over time.

Will there be visible scarring?

The incision is placed in the natural crease behind the ear, making any resulting scar well hidden and barely noticeable once healed.
