Correct Ear Shape, Size, or Projection With Natural Results

Ear surgery (otoplasty) reshapes or repositions the ears to create natural, harmonious facial balance. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified surgeon specializes in subtle ear refinement—ensuring your ears look natural, symmetric, and proportional to your facial features.

Whether you are concerned about prominent ears, asymmetry, ear lobe deformities, or changes after trauma or previous surgery, our approach focuses on confidence-boosting, natural results.

Why Patients Choose Ear Surgery

• Correct ears that stick out (prominent ears)
• Refine ear shape, fold structure, or size
• Repair stretched, torn, or heavy earlobes
• Improve symmetry after injury or previous surgery
• Fix irregularities like lop ear, cup ear, or Stahl’s ear
• Address aging-related earlobe changes

Our goal is a natural result—not over-flattened or “pinned-back” ears.

Personalized Planning at UE Plastic Surgery

We tailor the procedure to your:

• Ear projection and helix-antihelix relationship
• Earlobe shape and thickness
• Cartilage structure and symmetry
• Hairline and facial proportions
• Desired level of fold definition and angle

We use precise measurements to plan a safe, flattering correction.

Techniques We May Use

• Cartilage Scoring / Shaping – to create natural curves and folds
• Cartilage-Sparing Sutures – maintain a soft, natural ear line
• Earlobe Reduction / Repair – correct stretched or torn lobes
• Revision Otoplasty – correct unsatisfactory prior surgery
• Incisions Hidden Behind the Ear – discreet and well-concealed

The result is a naturally shaped ear that complements your features.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Prominent or protruding ears
• Ear deformities from birth or injury
• Dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery
• Stretched, torn, or aging earlobes
• Desire for a natural, refined look

What to Expect on Procedure Day

• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with optional sedation
• Time: ~1.5–2.5 hours depending on complexity
• Approach: Hidden incision behind the ear or inside natural folds
• Finish: Fine sutures, gentle dressing, and post-care instructions

Most patients return home the same day.

Recovery & Aftercare

• Mild swelling and stiffness for ~1 week
• Avoid sleeping on the ears initially
• Soft headband support recommended for protection
• Resume light activity in a few days
• Avoid strenuous workouts ~2–3 weeks

Scars are discreet and fade well over time.
