Also known as otoplasty, ear surgery is an effective way to address problems with the ear that can be either cosmetic or functional in nature. In many instances, people seek out ear surgery because they simply wish that their ears framed their face in a more attractive way. Ear surgery is also a solution to problems with the ear that have begun to negatively impact a patient’s ability to hear.
Ear surgery is most frequently considered to address the following issues:
Most ear surgery in Glasgow take between one and four hours, depending on the nature of the work being done, and the extent of the issues being addressed. Many adults find local anaesthesia to be suitable, but general anaesthesia tends to be best for children. We utilise minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, and make every effort to place incisions so that post-surgical scarring is easily concealed.
Otoplasty is a “day case” procedure, so you’ll be able to rest and recover at home after your procedure is complete. Most patients need to keep their ears bandaged for about two weeks, and find that they can rejoin their normal routines after about three weeks of recovery. You’ll be given detailed aftercare instructions, and we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure that you’re progressing nicely.

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a procedure that reshapes, repositions, or reduces the size of the ears to create a more balanced and natural facial appearance. It can also address certain functional ear concerns.
Otoplasty is suitable for adults, teenagers, and many children who are bothered by prominent, misshapen, or uneven ears. A consultation with a specialist surgeon will determine whether ear surgery is the right option based on your individual needs.
Ear surgery can address prominent ears, congenital ear deformities, asymmetrical ears, damage caused by trauma or piercings, oversized ears, and other cosmetic concerns that affect facial harmony.
During otoplasty, the surgeon reshapes or removes cartilage to achieve the desired ear position and contour. Incisions are carefully placed to minimise visible scarring while creating natural-looking results.
Yes. Ear surgery is often performed on children whose ears have fully developed, particularly if prominent ears are affecting their confidence or wellbeing. Your surgeon will advise on the most appropriate timing for treatment.
Many adults undergo ear surgery using local anaesthetic, while general anaesthetic is often recommended for children. The most appropriate option will be discussed during your consultation.
Most otoplasty procedures take between one and four hours, depending on the complexity of the correction and the specific concerns being treated.
Ear surgery is typically performed as a day-case procedure. Patients usually wear protective bandages for around two weeks and are able to return to most normal daily activities after approximately three weeks, following their surgeon's guidance.
Incisions are generally placed behind the ear or within its natural folds whenever possible, helping to keep any resulting scars discreet and well concealed once healing is complete.
Elanic's experienced consultant surgeons provide personalised treatment plans using advanced surgical techniques designed to achieve natural-looking results. Every procedure is tailored to the patient's anatomy, goals, and overall facial harmony.
