Restore Balance, Symmetry & Confidence with Expert Otoplasty Surgery by Dr. Rakesh Tawar
Are your ears sticking out too far or appear uneven in shape? Does your child feel self-conscious about prominent ears? If so, otoplasty in Dehradun offers a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution.
Dr. Rakesh Tawar, a highly experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon, performs otoplasty surgery in Dehradun using modern techniques to reposition or reshape the ears for a more natural, balanced appearance.
What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, also known as cosmetic ear surgery or ear pinning surgery, is a procedure designed to reshape, resize, or reposition the ears. It is typically performed to:
- Pin back protruding ears closer to the head
- Correct asymmetrical or oversized ears
- Improve the shape or position of ears due to injury or birth deformity
Unlike ear reconstruction, otoplasty does not rebuild a missing ear—it enhances the appearance of existing ear structures.
Otoplasty for Children and Adults
Otoplasty can be safely performed on both children and adults:
- Children: From age 5 and above (once the ears are fully developed)
- Teenagers and Adults: Ideal for correcting ear prominence or reshaping issues that affect confidence or appearance
Early correction in children can prevent teasing and psychological distress, while adults often seek otoplasty to improve self-image or facial harmony.
What Concerns Can Otoplasty Fix?
- Protruding ears
- Asymmetrical ears
- Overly large ears (macrotia)
- Shell-shaped or folded ear tops
- Ears misshaped from trauma, infection, or prior surgeries
