Ear Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Are you self-conscious about prominent ears, asymmetry, or torn earlobes? Ear surgery—also known as otoplasty—is a cosmetic procedure designed to correct and reshape the ears for a more natural, balanced appearance. Whether you’re looking to pin back protruding ears or repair damage caused by earrings or trauma, ear surgery in Korea offers world-class results with precision and care.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, our board-certified surgeons specialize in customized otoplasty procedures using advanced techniques that prioritize both aesthetics and patient comfort. We’re here to support you from consultation to recovery with expert guidance and compassionate care.

Why Choose Ear Surgery?

Otoplasty can address a wide range of aesthetic and functional concerns related to the ears, including:

• Prominent or protruding ears (also called “bat ears”)
• Asymmetrical ears or uneven ear height
• Overly large ears (macrotia)
• Torn or stretched earlobes from heavy earrings or trauma
• Deformed or underdeveloped ear shape (congenital conditions)

Many patients choose ear surgery not only to enhance their appearance but also to improve self-esteem, especially if they have faced teasing or discomfort due to their ears.

Tailored Approach to Ear Reshaping

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we understand that each person’s ear shape, size, and concerns are unique. That’s why we offer individualized surgical plans based on your specific needs and desired outcomes.

Types of Ear Surgery:

• Ear Pinning (Otoplasty): Commonly performed on children and adults to reduce ear protrusion and bring the ears closer to the head for a more natural contour.
• Earlobe Repair: For individuals with stretched, torn, or split earlobes. This procedure restores the natural shape and allows for future re-piercing if desired.
• Ear Reduction: For patients with oversized ears (macrotia), cartilage is trimmed and reshaped for a proportionate look.
• Correction of Congenital Defects: Such as constricted ears or “lop ears,” often using cartilage reshaping or reconstruction techniques.
• Our focus is on creating balanced, subtle improvements that restore harmony without an overcorrected or unnatural appearance.

Consultation and Planning

During your consultation at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we will:

• Assess your ear structure and facial proportions
• Discuss your goals, concerns, and medical history
• Use digital imaging or sketches to show possible results
• Review similar case studies and outcomes
• Explain the best surgical approach for your condition

Open communication and shared decision-making are key components of our process to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Ear surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity and patient age.

Procedure Steps:

• Incision Placement: Usually made behind the ear or within the natural creases to hide scars.
• Cartilage Reshaping or Suturing: The ear cartilage is reshaped, repositioned, or secured with permanent sutures for long-lasting results.
• Earlobe Repair (if needed): Torn tissue is excised and carefully sutured to restore the natural contour.
• Closure and Dressing: The incisions are closed with fine sutures and a protective dressing is applied.

The surgery usually takes 1–2 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from ear surgery is generally quick and well-tolerated.

• Expect mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days
• Bandages or a headband may be worn for 1–2 weeks to support healing
• Avoid strenuous activity and contact sports for at least 2–3 weeks
• Final results are typically visible within 4–6 weeks, with continued subtle improvements over time

Our clinic will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing and results.
