Reshape & Refine Ear Contours with Advanced Ear Surgery
Before and After



What Is Otoplasty in Dubai?
Otoplasty in Dubai is an advanced cosmetic ear surgery procedure designed to improve the shape, position, or symmetry of the ears for better facial balance and contour harmony. Commonly known as ear reshaping surgery, otoplasty can address concerns such as protruding ears, uneven ear shape, oversized ears, or structural irregularities. Many individuals seek otoplasty surgery because ear prominence or asymmetry can affect facial proportions and self-confidence. The procedure focuses on refining ear contours while preserving natural anatomy and balanced facial appearance.
Modern Otoplasty in Dubai techniques emphasize precision cartilage reshaping, natural contour refinement, and minimal visible scarring. Every surgical plan is customized according to ear structure, facial proportions, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. The surgery can improve ear projection, contour symmetry, and overall facial harmony while creating subtle and natural-looking enhancement results.
Whether patients want correction of protruding ears, improved ear symmetry, or refined ear shape, otoplasty surgery can provide long-lasting contour improvement and increased confidence.

Otoplasty for Children and Adults in Dubai
Otoplasty is one of the few cosmetic surgical procedures suitable for both children and adults. Prominent or protruding ears can have a significant impact on self-confidence particularly in children who may face teasing or social discomfort at school.
Otoplasty for children: The procedure is typically recommended from age 5 onwards, once ear cartilage is sufficiently developed. Early correction can prevent social and psychological difficulties during school years. Child-appropriate anaesthesia and aftercare protocols are followed at Cocoona.
Otoplasty for adults: Adults with prominent, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears are equally suitable candidates. Recovery is straightforward and results are permanent. Many adult patients report significant improvements in confidence after the procedure.
Your surgeon will assess the most appropriate age and timing during your consultation.
Otoplasty Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3: Mild swelling, bruising, and tightness around the ears. A protective head bandage or dressing is worn to support healing and ear positioning. Rest at home. Avoid sleeping on the side of the treated ear.
Days 4–7: Bandage typically removed at day 5 to 7. Replaced with a softer headband worn during sleep. Discomfort eases significantly. Light daily activities can be resumed.
Weeks 2–3: Most patients return to work and school. Swelling continues to reduce. New ear shape becomes clearly visible.
Weeks 4–6: Light exercise can be resumed. Contact sports should be avoided for 6 weeks to protect healing cartilage.
Months 3–6: All residual swelling resolves. Final ear contours are stable and permanent. Scars behind the ears fade significantly.
Long term: Otoplasty results are permanent. Ear cartilage reshaped during surgery does not revert to its previous position.

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure and carries a degree of risk. At Cocoona, our DHA-certified surgeons follow strict protocols to minimise these risks and every patient deserves a fully informed decision before proceeding.

Incisions are placed discreetly behind the ears within the natural skin fold. Scars are minimal and typically fade to become virtually invisible within several months of healing.
How long does otoplasty surgery take?
The procedure typically takes 1 to 3 hours depending on whether one or both ears are being treated and the complexity of reshaping required.

Most patients return to light daily activities and school or work within 5 to 7 days. Contact sports should be avoided for 6 weeks. Final ear contours are stable within 3 to 6 months.
Are otoplasty results permanent?
Yes. Ear cartilage reshaped during otoplasty does not revert to its previous position. Results are permanent and stable long term.
Can otoplasty be performed on children?
Yes. Otoplasty is commonly performed on children from age 5 onwards, once ear cartilage is sufficiently developed. Early correction can significantly improve a child’s confidence and prevent social difficulties during school years.
