Otoplasty (ear pinning surgery) at MUDr. Šimek's Olomouc practice corrects prominent, protruding ears through cartilage reshaping and repositioning under local infiltration anaesthesia, with all incisions made on the back of the ear where resulting scars remain hidden. The correction is available for both children and adults — MUDr. Šimek's documentation emphasises the value of early correction in children to prevent social stigma before school age, while noting that adult otoplasty is equally effective and can be performed at any age. Bandages are worn for a minimum of 12 days, followed by a soft headband worn nightly for approximately one month.
About this treatment
Prominent ear deformity — otapostasis — is primarily a failure of the antihelix fold to develop normally during cartilage formation before birth, which allows the ear to project forward rather than lying flat against the skull. It is present from birth and does not resolve spontaneously. Correction by surgical otoplasty is effective, stable, and the incisions are placed in a position that renders scars clinically invisible.
MUDr. Šimek's technique
Access is through an incision on the posterior surface of the auricle (the back of the ear), which is hidden when the ears are viewed from the front, profile, or three-quarter angle. Through this incision, the anterior cartilage surface is approached directly. Concentric incisions in the cartilage create controlled weakening along the plane where the antihelix should fold — this allows the cartilage to be re-shaped into a normal profile. The new position…
