Otoplasty (Bat Ear Correction) in Delhi
Otoplasty (bat-ear correction) at Sama Hospital, South Delhi reshapes and repositions prominent or protruding ears to sit closer and more naturally against the head, improving facial proportion and confidence — performed by experienced plastic surgeons in a NABH-accredited hospital, for both children and adults.
What Is Otoplasty (Ear Correction)?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape, resize or reposition the ears, most commonly to correct prominent or protruding “bat” ears that stick out from the head. It creates a natural, balanced position and can be performed on children (usually from about five years, once the ears are near adult size) and on adults.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Otoplasty may suit you or your child if the ears are prominent, protruding, asymmetrical or misshapen, or if there is dissatisfaction with their size or shape. It is suitable for healthy children from about age five and for adults of any age.
The Procedure at Sama Hospital
Ear correction takes about one to two hours and is performed under local anaesthesia in adults or general anaesthesia in children. An incision is placed in the natural crease behind the ear, where any scar is hidden, and the cartilage is reshaped and secured closer to the head for a natural result. Our theatres and monitored anaesthesia ensure a safe, comfortable procedure.
Recovery and Results
Otoplasty is a day-care procedure. A supportive headband is worn for a short period to protect the ears while they heal, and most people return to school or work in about a week. The result is permanent and natural-looking, with the ears sitting in a balanced position.
