Otoplasty at MEDICent corrects protruding or asymmetric ears by reshaping the ear cartilage through an incision hidden behind the ear. The procedure is available for children from age 10 — once the ear is fully grown and the child can cooperate with aftercare — as well as for adults who have lived with prominent ears for years. Performed under analgosedation included in the price (one ear from 8,500 Kč, both ears 16,500–17,500 Kč), with same-day discharge and a headband worn during healing.
About this treatment
Protruding ears are one of the most common congenital aesthetic concerns, and for school-age children they can be a significant source of teasing. Otoplasty is a low-risk, high-satisfaction corrective procedure with permanent results.
The procedure
Through an incision concealed in the fold behind the ear, the surgeon reshapes the cartilage — recreating the missing antihelical fold and/or reducing an overdeveloped conchal bowl — and secures the new shape with permanent internal sutures. The ear is repositioned closer to the head in natural proportion. Surgery takes about 45–60 minutes for one ear, 1.5–2 hours for both.
