Otoplasty in Mumbai
Are you self-conscious about the appearance of your ears? Whether it’s due to genetics, injury, or dissatisfaction with their shape, ears that are too prominent or asymmetrical can draw unwanted attention and impact your confidence.
Here’s the solution: Otoplasty, commonly referred to as ear surgery or ear reshaping, is a specialized cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape, position, or proportion of the ears. This treatment can dramatically improve your facial harmony and self-esteem, allowing you to feel more confident in your appearance.
Dr. Viral Desai, a leading cosmetic and plastic surgeon in Mumbai, specializes in ear plastic surgery. With years of expertise and the latest surgical techniques, he has transformed the lives of countless patients. Whether you’re seeking subtle refinements or a complete ear correction, Dr. Desai delivers results that look natural and feel right for you.
Am I a Good Candidate for Ear Surgery?
Do you wonder if ear surgery is the right fit for your needs? Let’s see if you meet the criteria:
- If your ears are prominent and stick out
- If you feel you are unable to wear your hair tied back due to protruding ears
- If you suffer criticism due to your ears sticking out
- If you have one ear that sticks out or if you have one ear bigger than the other
Otoplasty is suitable for both adults and children (aged 5 and above), as ears reach their full development by this age.
Still on the fence? A consultation with Dr. Desai will help you better understand your options and guide you through the decision-making process.
How Otoplasty is Performed
Understanding the procedure can make all the difference. Here’s what you can expect during Otoplasty:
1. Consultation and Planning:
Dr. Desai starts by discussing your concerns and goals. A detailed examination of your ear anatomy ensures a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs for this cosmetic procedure.
2. Preparation:
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for maximum comfort.
3. Surgical Technique:
- For ears that stick out, cartilage is reshaped and repositioned closer to the head.
- For deformities, reconstructive techniques are applied to achieve a natural, symmetrical look.
- Incisions are carefully placed behind the ears to minimize visible scarring.
4. Closure and Recovery:
The procedure takes 2–3 hours, with immediate improvements visible post-surgery.

What to Expect After Ear Surgery
After Otoplasty, the results are immediate—but healing takes time. Here’s what you can expect:
- Mild Swelling and Bruising: Temporary discomfort is normal and can be managed with prescribed medications.
- Protective Bandages: These ensure the ears are supported during the initial healing phase.
- Refined Results Over Time: Swelling subsides over the weeks following surgery, revealing the final appearance of your ears.
- Scar: The scar fades gradually, becoming less noticeable as healing progresses.
Potential Risks
Infection: Rare, minimized by strict sterilization protocols.
Scarring: Incisions are hidden behind the ears, but scars may still appear and fade over time.
Asymmetry: Small differences may occur but can be corrected with follow-up adjustments.
Over/Under correction: The desired shape may not be achieved initially, but refinements can be made.
Changes in Sensation: Temporary numbness around the ears, resolving as healing progresses.
Expected Recovery Timeline
Protect the Ears: Avoid sleeping on your side and wear a protective headband as advised.
Avoid Strenuous Activities: Sports or heavy physical exertion should be avoided for 2–3 weeks.
Hygiene Matters: Keep the surgical area clean to prevent infection.
Attend Follow-Ups: Regular check-ins with Dr. Desai ensure your recovery is on track.
Note: Otoplasty is a facial procedure that involves surgical correction of the ears and requires careful post-operative care to ensure optimal healing.
Dr. Desai’s team provides comprehensive aftercare support to make your recovery stress-free.
