Ears that stick out too far or are irregularly shaped can cause self-consciousness in both children and adults. If you or your child are bothered by the shape, size, or position of the ears, Otoplasty (also known as ear reshaping or ear pinning surgery) can help restore balance and improve self-esteem.
At Cosmetic Surgery Mumbai, Dr. Manojkumar J Manwani offers expert otoplasty in Mumbai — delivering natural, symmetrical results through minimally invasive techniques.
What is Otoplasty (Ear Reshaping Surgery)?
Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that corrects:
- Prominent ears that stick out from the head
- Large or protruding ear lobes
- Irregularly shaped or asymmetrical ears
- Ears damaged due to trauma or birth defects
The procedure can be performed on children (typically above age 6) and adults. It involves reshaping the ear cartilage to bring the ears closer to the head and achieve a more natural contour.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Otoplasty?
You or your child may be a good candidate for ear correction surgery if:
- You are self-conscious about the size, shape, or protrusion of your ears
- You have healthy ear tissue and no active ear infections
- You are in good general health
- You have realistic expectations
Otoplasty can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other facial cosmetic surgeries.

- Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours
- Incisions: Made discreetly behind the ear, where scars are well hidden
- Technique: The cartilage is reshaped, bent, or partially removed and stitched into a new position closer to the head
- Closure: Stitches are used to secure the new shape, and a bandage is applied to protect the area
Recovery and Aftercare
- Mild swelling and soreness for 3–5 days
- A protective headband may be worn for 1–2 weeks (especially at night)
- Stitches (if non-absorbable) are removed within 7–10 days
- Most patients return to work or school within a week
- Final results are visible once swelling subsides
