Reshaping prominent or asymmetric ears—so you feel confident in every profile, every photo, every moment.
What is Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)?
Ear surgery to correct shape, size, or prominence.
Otoplasty, or cosmetic ear surgery, reshapes or repositions the ears to create better proportion and symmetry. Whether addressing ears that protrude, appear asymmetric, or have been affected by injury, otoplasty surgery at North Shore Cosmetic Surgery is tailored to your unique anatomy and goals. Results are natural, permanent, and designed to bring your features into balance. This is ear surgery that allows you to wear your hair up, take photos from any angle, and move through the world without self-consciousness.
Benefits of Otoplasty
Freedom to Be Seen
Otoplasty gives you back the ease of not thinking about your ears—of wearing your hair however you want, taking photos without adjusting your angle, and simply feeling present. You'll notice better proportion, improved symmetry, and a sense of alignment that radiates from within. This is confidence that's quiet, personal, and deeply freeing.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can children have otoplasty?
Otoplasty can be performed once ears reach full size, typically around age 5-6. Early correction can prevent self-consciousness during school years. We evaluate each child individually to determine appropriate timing.
Is otoplasty surgery painful?
Discomfort is typically mild to moderate and well-controlled with medication. Most patients describe tightness or soreness rather than significant pain. Children usually return to school within 1 week.
Will my ears look natural after otoplasty?
Yes, the goal is natural-looking ears that sit closer to the head and maintain proper proportion. Cosmetic ear surgery creates balance without an "operated" appearance—results look like they've always been that way.
Are otoplasty results permanent?
Yes, otoplasty generally provides permanent correction. The reshaped cartilage maintains its new position indefinitely. Proper post-operative care, including wearing headbands initially, ensures optimal, lasting results.
