    An angle between the ears and the head that is wider than normal can lead to aesthetic concerns, commonly known as “protruding ears.” While this can cause self-confidence issues, especially in childhood, it can be corrected permanently and naturally with modern surgical techniques. Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer combines his dual specialization in ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery to offer both functional and aesthetic solutions in ear aesthetics.

    Natural-Looking Ears That Complement Your Facial Features

    What is Otoplasty (Ear Correction Surgery)?

    Otoplasty, or prominent ear surgery, is a procedure that reshapes the ear cartilage, adjusts the distance of the ear from the head to an ideal angle (approximately 15-20 degrees), and creates less prominent ear folds.

    Why is Otoplasty (Ear Correction Surgery) Preferred?

    • Social and Psychological Comfort: Especially for school-aged children, preventing peer bullying and increasing self-confidence.
    • Profile Balance: Ensuring that the ears harmonize with the overall facial features.
    • Permanent Solution: Unlike non-surgical methods, providing a permanent and structural change for life.

    Precision Surgery with the Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer Difference

    The ear structure has a complex cartilage architecture. As a professor of Oral, Maxillofacial and Craniofacial Surgery and ENT, Dr. Tezer manages the process to the highest standards:

    • Natural Fold Reconstruction: Simply bringing the ears closer to the head (attaching them) is not enough. Dr. Tezer aims for an appearance that is not noticeable as having undergone surgery by recreating the natural “Y”-shaped folds inside the ear.
    • Invisible Scars: Incisions are hidden along the natural crease line behind the ear. This ensures that no scars are visible from the outside after healing.
    • Fast and Safe Recovery: Thanks to Dr. Tezer’s tissue-friendly surgical techniques, postoperative pain and bruising are kept to a minimum.

    Otoplasty Surgery Process and Recovery

    • Examination and Planning: The angle and cartilage structure of the ear are analyzed. General anesthesia is usually preferred in children, while local anesthesia or sedation is preferred in adults.
    • Operation: Usually lasts 1-1.5 hours. The cartilage is reshaped with permanent sutures through an incision behind the ear.
    • Recovery: A light bandage is applied to protect the ears for the first 2-3 days. Afterwards, it is recommended to wear a soft sports headband for 1-2 weeks, especially while sleeping, to protect the ears.

    Result: The change is clearly visible as soon as the bandages are removed.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Otoplasty (Ear Correction Surgery)

    1. What is the most suitable age for otoplasty (ear reshaping surgery)?

    Ear development is approximately 90% complete by the age of 5-6. Therefore, it is recommended that children undergo surgery before starting school to avoid psychological impact. In adults, it can be safely performed at any age.

    2. Will the ears return to their original state?

    With the correct technique and permanent sutures, the chances of the ears returning to their original shape after otoplasty are quite low. Dr. Tezer’s cartilage shaping methods provide high permanence.

    3. Is non-surgical treatment for protruding ears possible?

    During infancy (the first few months), shaping with devices may be possible. However, once the cartilage hardens, surgical intervention is the only solution for a permanent result.
