Otoplasty

What is otoplasty?

Deformation of auricles is the reason of numerous complexes and lack of self-confidence both for men and women. Worst consequences such defect has at children’s age, leaving serious psychological trauma. Thanks to otoplasty it is possible to change a shape of auricles, and also restore them in case of various deformations (congenital or acquired). Otoplasty will allow to get rid of a serious aesthetic shortcoming and gain self-confidence.

At the request of the patient, it is possible to change auricle shape and size.
