Improving ear shape and position for natural facial balance
Ear correction surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure used to reshape or reposition prominent or misshapen ears. Dr. Muddappa P. P., an experienced Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon in Bangalore, performs ear correction with precision to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.
The shape and position of the ears play an important role in facial symmetry. Prominent, large, or uneven ears can draw unwanted attention and affect confidence at any age. Ear correction surgery (otoplasty) helps bring the ears into better proportion with the face while maintaining a natural appearance.
At his practice in Bangalore, Dr. Muddappa P. P. offers ear correction surgery for both children and adults. Each procedure is planned carefully to correct the concern while preserving normal ear structure and function.

What Can Ear Correction Surgery Treat?
Ear correction surgery can address:
- Prominent or protruding ears
- Asymmetrical ears
- Large or poorly shaped ears
- Folded or underdeveloped ear cartilage
- Deformities due to injury or birth conditions
The procedure focuses on reshaping cartilage and repositioning the ear closer to the head when required.
A Personalised and Careful Approach
Every ear is unique in shape and cartilage strength. Dr. Muddappa begins with a detailed consultation to understand the concern, evaluate ear anatomy, and discuss expectations.
As a trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon, he focuses on conservative correction to avoid an over-pinned or unnatural appearance. The aim is to achieve ears that look balanced, symmetrical, and in harmony with the face.
Special care is taken when treating children to ensure safe correction at the appropriate age, usually after ear growth is sufficient.
The Ear Correction Procedure
Ear correction surgery is usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation in adults, or general anaesthesia in children. The procedure typically takes one to two hours.
An incision is made behind the ear, where it remains well hidden. The cartilage is reshaped or repositioned, and the ear is secured in its new position. The incision is closed carefully to promote smooth healing.
Patients usually go home the same day.
Recovery and Healing
After surgery, a head bandage is applied to support healing and maintain ear position. Mild swelling, discomfort, or tightness is common and settles within a few days.
Most patients return to school or work within a week. A protective headband may be advised for a few weeks, especially during sleep. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing and results.
Final outcomes become clear as swelling subsides, revealing ears that look natural and well positioned.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Ear Correction?
Ear correction surgery may be suitable for individuals who:
- Are bothered by prominent or uneven ears
- Experience self-consciousness due to ear shape
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations
Both children and adults can benefit from ear correction surgery after proper evaluation.
