What is an Otoplasty procedure?
Otoplasty reshapes or repositions the ears to correct prominence, asymmetry, or shape irregularities present from birth or caused by injury. Dr. Salim AYOUB performs otoplasty for both adults and children in Lebanon, using techniques that reshape the cartilage discreetly through an incision hidden behind the ear.
The procedure is one of the most stable in plastic surgery — results are typically permanent once the ear has healed, making it a common and effective option for patients self-conscious about protruding ears.
Otoplasty can typically be performed from around age 7, once the ear cartilage has reached near-adult size, through adulthood.
The incision for otoplasty is placed in the natural crease behind the ear, making resulting scars very difficult to see once healed.
