Otoplasty at MUDr. Miroslav Dolejš's Plzeň practice permanently corrects protruding ears by reshaping and repositioning the ear cartilage through an incision hidden behind the ear. Performed under local anaesthesia as an outpatient procedure, it suits both adults and older children bothered by ear prominence. From 9,000 Kč, this is one of the most affordable board-certified otoplasty offers in the Czech Republic — the procedure takes around 60–90 minutes and patients go home the same day with a protective head dressing.
About this treatment
Protruding ears most often result from an underdeveloped antihelical fold or an overly deep conchal bowl — anatomical variations that are entirely benign but can cause significant self-consciousness from childhood onwards. Otoplasty (ear pinning) reshapes the cartilage framework to set the ears closer to the head in natural-looking proportion.
The procedure
Through an incision on the back surface of the ear, the cartilage is exposed and reshaped — typically by scoring or suturing the antihelical fold into a natural curve and, where needed, reducing the conchal bowl or setting it back toward the mastoid. Permanent internal sutures hold the new shape. Because the incision sits in the crease behind the ear, the scar is essentially invisible in everyday life. The operation is done under local anaesthesia and…
