Otoplasty in Antalya, Türkiye
Some adults have lived with prominent ears since school before deciding to act. Otoplasty changes the shape or position of the ears, most often setting them closer to the head. For adults travelling to Antalya we arrange 1 hospital night, 7 hotel nights, VIP airport transfers and 2 years of aftercare. Your surgeon decides if it suits you.

Is ear surgery an option for adults?
Yes, and we only coordinate otoplasty for patients aged 18 and over. It is for people self-conscious about ears that stick out or differ in shape. Good general health and a stable weight are the starting points. You will need to stop smoking around surgery and keep expectations realistic.

Risks and recovery
Bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, blood clots and revision are possible after any surgery. With otoplasty, two are worth knowing:
- Asymmetry between the two ears.
- The ears moving back towards their original position over time.
A bandage covers the ears at first, then you usually wear a headband, often at night, for several weeks. Expect some tenderness and swelling. Your surgeon advises when you can return to work.

Frequently asked questions
Where are the scars?
Usually in the crease behind the ear. Every incision leaves some scar.
Can adults have otoplasty?
Yes. Adult cartilage is firmer, and your surgeon plans the technique around it.
How long do I wear a headband?
Typically several weeks, often just at night, as your surgeon instructs.
How long should I stay in Antalya?
One hospital night and 7 hotel nights. See how long to stay in Antalya after surgery.
Will both ears look the same?
The aim is better balance, but ears naturally differ a little, so exact symmetry cannot be promised.
