Otoplasty (Ear Correction)

Otoplasty at Cleopatra Clinic permanently corrects protruding ears by reshaping the cartilage through an incision hidden behind the ear, setting the ears into a natural position against the head. The procedure costs 15,000–22,000 Kč all-in for both ears including anaesthesia, medication, and follow-up dressings — one of the most affordable and highest-satisfaction operations in the clinic's portfolio.

Protruding ears are usually caused by an underdeveloped antihelical fold or an overly deep conchal bowl — structural cartilage features that no exercise or taping in adulthood can change. Otoplasty corrects the cartilage directly and permanently. **The operation:** through an incision concealed in the crease behind the ear, the surgeon exposes the cartilage and reshapes it — scoring or suturing a new antihelical fold and, where needed, reducing the conchal bowl — then sets the ear at a natural angle to the head. Both ears are corrected in one session for symmetry, typically in 60–90 minutes. Adults are usually treated under local anaesthesia. **Recovery:** a head bandage protects the ears for the first days, followed by an elastic headband worn at night for several weeks to guard the new cartilage shape during sleep. Discomfort is mild and managed with the included analgesics. Most adults return to work within a few days; contact sports wait about 6 weeks. The behind-ear scar is invisible in everyday life. **Result:** permanent. Because the correction is structural, the new ear position does not relapse once healed. The all-in price (15,000–22,000 Kč) covers the operation, anaesthesia, medication, and every routine dressing and check-up — with the final quote within that range fixed at consultation based on the degree of protrusion and cartilage stiffness.
