Otoplasty
What is otoplasty?
At Cliniq, otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct and improve the shape, position or proportion of the ears. This surgery is ideal for those who want to reduce the size of the prominent ears or reposition them closer to the head, achieving a more balanced and aesthetic appearance.
Made by our highly qualified plastic surgeons, Otoplasty offers natural and permanent results, significantly improving patient confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.
Benefits of otoplasty:
Aesthetic improvement: Corrects prominent, large or disproportionate ears, achieving a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
increase in confidence: By improving the appearance of the ears, many patients experience a significant increase in their self-esteem and self-confidence.
permanent results: The changes obtained with the otoplasty are permanent, providing a lasting solution to the aesthetic concerns related to the ears.
Minimal scars: The incisions are made in natural folds behind the ears, which makes the scars discreet and almost invisible.
better facial proportion: By repositioning the ears, the general proportion of the face is improved, highlighting other facial characteristics more favorably.
How is an otoplasty done?
At ClinIQ, the otoplasty is done using advanced techniques and cutting-edge technology to ensure accurate and natural results. The procedure begins with small hidden incisions in the natural folds behind the ears. Through these incisions, our highly qualified plastic surgeons reshape the cartilage to reposition the ears closer to the head or reduce their size. The incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures to minimize scars.
Thanks to our technical and technological capacity, the Otoplasty at Cliniq offers an effective aesthetic correction with a fast and safe recovery.

At Cliniq, otoplasty is usually done under two types of anesthesia, depending on the age of the patient and the extent of the procedure:
Local anesthesia with sedation: For adults and adolescents, local anesthesia is used to numb the area around the ears, combined with intravenous sedation so that the patient is relaxed and comfortable during the procedure.
General anesthesia: In cases where it is preferred that the patient is completely asleep, general anesthesia is used. This ensures that the patient does not feel pain or be conscious during surgery.
The choice of the type of anesthesia is determined in consultation with the patient and our surgeons, ensuring maximum safety and comfort during the procedure.
The otoplasty recovery in Cliniq is fast and efficient, thanks to our advanced technical and technological capacity.
After the procedure, patients may experience mild, manageable inflammation and discomfort with prescribed painkillers. It is recommended to wear an elastic band around the ears for the first few weeks to protect them and ensure their new position. Most patients can resume their normal activities in about a week.
Personalized potency instructions and continuous monitoring by our plastic surgeons ensure optimal healing and satisfactory results, allowing you to enjoy ears with a natural and harmonious appearance.
The otoplasty performed in Cliniq generates a minimum temporary disability. During the first days after surgery, patients may experience inflammation, bruising, and mild discomfort around the ears, which may require rest and the use of painkillers.
It is recommended to avoid intense physical activities, contact sports and any situation that could cause ear bumps for at least two weeks. Most patients can return to their normal daily and work activities within a few days, always following the postoperative instructions of our surgeons to ensure an adequate and hassle-free recovery.
The scar of an otoplasty is generally minimal and discreetly located to be as little visible as possible, the incisions are made in the natural folds behind the ears, which effectively hides the scars.
Following the instructions of the surgeon on the care of incisions, such as avoiding direct sun exposure and applying healing creams, can improve the final appearance of the scars.
