Ear Correction (Otoplasty)

Otoplasty by MUDr. Petros Christodoulou at Medicom Clinic, Prague 1 — correction of protruding ears, reduction of oversized ears and earlobes, and repair of torn or stretched ear-piercing holes. Dr. Christodoulou has a particular professional focus on ear surgery: in 2025 he introduced the EarWell newborn ear-deformity correction method to the Czech Republic and Slovakia and serves as its professional guarantor. Adult otoplasty reshapes the ear cartilage through an incision hidden behind the ear, setting the ears into a natural position close to the head.

Protruding ears are usually caused by an underdeveloped antihelical fold or an overdeveloped conchal bowl — both correctable with a well-established, low-risk operation that can be life-changing for self-conscious patients of any age. **Otoplasty for protruding ears (from 31,900 Kč):** through an incision concealed in the crease behind the ear, the cartilage is scored and reshaped, the antihelical fold recreated with permanent sutures, and the ear set back into a natural position. The goal is a normal, unoperated look — ears that simply no longer attract attention, with visible asymmetry avoided by careful intra-operative comparison of both sides. **Reduction otoplasty (from 27,500 Kč):** reshaping and reduction of oversized ear cartilage or elongated, sagging earlobes — a common request in older patients, since earlobes continue to lengthen with age and heavy earring use. **Ear hole repair (from 11,800 Kč):** surgical repair of torn, slit or gauge-stretched piercing holes under local anaesthesia; re-piercing is possible once healed. **Specialist credentials:** beyond adult ear surgery, Dr. Christodoulou is the professional guarantor who introduced the EarWell infant ear-moulding method in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (2025) — evidence of a genuine subspecialty interest in ear aesthetics rare among general plastic surgeons. **Recovery:** a protective headband is worn initially (continuously for the first days, then at night for several weeks). Discomfort is mild; children and adults typically return to school or desk work within a week. Contact sports wait around six weeks. **The package:** prices include the operation, anaesthesia (local or general as appropriate), pre-operative examination and transport home after discharge.
