The procedure is often performed to correct protruding or asymmetric ears and has a significant impact on the patient's psychological comfort. Earlobe plastic surgery involves restoring the shape or structure of the earlobe – for example, making it smaller, repairing a pierced or torn earlobe, or correcting a genetic deformity. Both interventions are usually minor and low risk.

Details of the procedure 

Duration: On average 1 to 2 hours, depending on the type and complexity of the procedure. 

Anesthesia: Mostly local, although general anesthesia can also be used. 

Rehabilitation: After the operation, it is necessary to wear a special bandage for several days. Swelling and mild discomfort may occur for 7-10 days.  The patient will need a few post-operative visits to the clinic. 

Result: It is noticeable in the first days, although the final result is formed in about 1-2 months, when the swelling completely subsides.

For whom it is recommended: Surgery is recommended for those who suffer from aesthetic or structural problems with the shape, size or position of the ear or earlobe and want to correct them.
