Otoplasty Surgery

Otoplasty surgery involves minimizing the space between the head and the ears to achieve the symmetrical shape of the ears. Otoplasty is one of the most touching operations in the psychological statues of people, as it changes the appearance of the face for the better.

Fortunately, children are also eligible for otoplasty and parents are recommended to do the surgery for their children at a young age to help them avoid bullying at an early age. International Plus in Turkey provides Otoplasty for all ages in the hospital and every age is taken care of by a team of well-trained and experienced doctors in the cosmetic industry.

Past operation failed.
The asymmetrical look of the ear.
One ear size is different from the other.
Inconsistency between the ears and other parts of the facial structure.

And each case is examined by doctors and will receive its own special treatment.

Doctors always ask patients what they hope to have more information about the patient's desires. But like any cosmetic surgery, certain instructions should be followed by the patients before the operation. Some of these instructions are:

The patient must be over five years old.
