To find out if you’re a good candidate for otoplasty.
What Is Ear Reshaping Surgery?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects protruding (“bat”) ears and other irregularities in the size, shape, or position of the ear. The condition is usually present from birth. In infants, ear shape can sometimes be corrected non-surgically if treatment starts within the first few weeks of life, but once that early window has passed, surgery is the reliable option.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia (general anesthesia is used for young children) and takes roughly 70–90 minutes to correct both ears. The surgeon places sutures to reshape the cartilage and repositions the ear closer to the head. The incision is made behind the ear, so any resulting scar is hidden in the natural crease.

Why Consider Ear Reshaping Surgery?
Ears that stick out, are uneven, or are unusually shaped can be a source of self-consciousness and teasing, particularly for children. Otoplasty addresses this directly by reshaping the cartilage and adjusting how the ears sit relative to the head. Dr. Ata-ul-Haq, a board-certified consultant plastic surgeon, performs the full procedure and will walk you through the process during your consultation. Ear reshaping surgery in Lahore is also significantly more affordable than equivalent procedures in Western countries or the Middle East.
Ear Reshaping Surgery Before and After Results
Non-Surgical Ear Reshaping (For Infants)
For babies under six months old, ear cartilage is still soft and pliable, which makes non-surgical correction possible. Options include:
- Taping or splinting the ear into the correct position
- Molded ear-shaping devices (silicone, foam, or wire-framed) worn over the affected area
Correction time ranges from a few days to several weeks, depending on the severity of the deformity. Once a child is past infancy, cartilage firms up and surgical otoplasty becomes the appropriate option.

Otoplasty is most effective between ages 4 and 14, before the ear cartilage fully hardens. In children, it’s usually performed after age 5–6, once the ear has reached close to full development. Adults can undergo the procedure at nearly any age.
Otoplasty is an outpatient procedure that usually takes 2–3 hours. Young children are typically given general anesthesia; older children and adults receive local anesthesia combined with a sedative. Incisions are placed behind the ear, in the natural crease where scarring is well hidden. The cartilage is then reshaped and repositioned using sutures, with each ear adjusted independently to correct any asymmetry.
AccorMost patients go home the same day with a light head dressing. Discomfort is usually mild and manageable with oral pain medication. Swelling and bruising typically subside within the first three days. A protective gauze bandage is worn for about a week while the ears heal into position, and stitches are generally removed after a week. Most adults return to work in about 5 days; children can typically return to school after a week. Glasses or sunglasses can usually be worn again 7–10 days after surgery.dion Content
