What Is Otoplasty in Dubai
Otoplasty is a cosmetic ear surgery that reshapes or repositions the ears to create a more harmonious facial appearance. It can involve reducing ear prominence, correcting ear asymmetry, or reshaping malformed cartilage. The procedure focuses on adjusting the ear cartilage structure to achieve a natural contour without an artificial look. Otoplasty does not affect hearing and is purely aesthetic. Dr. Hatami uses refined surgical techniques to ensure stable, long-lasting results while keeping scars discreet. Whether performed on one or both ears, otoplasty in Dubai is tailored to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals for balanced, confident outcomes.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Otoplasty in Dubai
Good candidates for otoplasty are individuals who feel self-conscious about protruding or misshapen ears and wish to improve their appearance. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations regarding the outcome. Otoplasty is commonly performed on children, once ear development is complete, as well as on adults seeking aesthetic correction later in life. Patients who experience emotional discomfort or lack of confidence due to ear appearance often benefit significantly. During consultation, Dr. Hatami carefully evaluates ear anatomy and symmetry. With proper assessment, otoplasty in Dubai offers a safe and effective solution for lasting aesthetic improvement.
What Conditions Can Otoplasty Correct
Otoplasty can correct a variety of ear-related concerns, including prominent ears, asymmetry, folding abnormalities, and certain congenital deformities. It can also address issues resulting from trauma or previous surgery. The procedure focuses on reshaping cartilage to restore natural ear contours while maintaining a proportional appearance. In some cases, otoplasty may involve reducing ear size or improving the angle between the ear and the head. Dr. Hatami customizes each approach based on the specific condition being treated. By correcting these concerns, otoplasty in Dubai helps patients achieve improved facial balance and greater confidence.

Otoplasty Before & After

Types of Otoplasty and Ear Pinning Techniques
There are several otoplasty techniques, depending on the ear structure and desired correction. Ear pinning is the most common method, repositioning the ears closer to the head by reshaping the cartilage. Other techniques involve cartilage scoring, suturing, or reduction procedures for oversized ears. The chosen method depends on cartilage stiffness, ear shape, and symmetry requirements. Dr. Hatami carefully selects the technique that offers natural contours and long-term stability. Each procedure is performed with precision to avoid overcorrection. With customized planning and expert execution, otoplasty in Dubai provides predictable, refined outcomes.
Incisionless Otoplasty vs Surgical Otoplasty
Incisionless otoplasty uses specialized sutures to reshape the ear without traditional incisions, making it suitable for mild ear protrusion and flexible cartilage. It offers minimal downtime and reduced scarring but is not ideal for all cases. Surgical otoplasty, on the other hand, allows for more precise cartilage reshaping and is better suited for moderate to severe corrections. Surgical techniques provide greater control and long-term stability. Dr. Hatami evaluates each patient carefully to determine the most appropriate approach. Whether incisionless or surgical, otoplasty in Dubai is tailored to achieve safe, natural, and durable results.

How Otoplasty Surgery in Dubai Is Performed
Otoplasty surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on patient age and complexity. The procedure begins with carefully placed incisions behind the ear, keeping scars hidden. The surgeon then reshapes or repositions the ear cartilage, securing it in the desired position with internal sutures. Once symmetry and contour are achieved, the incisions are closed with fine sutures. A protective dressing is applied to support healing. The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, and patients return home the same day. With expert technique and personalized planning, otoplasty in Dubai ensures safe surgery and aesthetically balanced results.
Step by Step Otoplasty Procedure
Consultation and Planning: Dr. Hatami will assess your ear structure, listen to your aesthetic goals, and determine the best surgical approach for your needs.
Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference and age.
Incision Placement: Dr. Hatami will make small incisions, typically behind the ear, to minimize visible scarring.
Reshaping and Positioning: The cartilage is reshaped or repositioned to create the desired ear contour and position.
Closure and Recovery: The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a dressing is applied. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours. With otoplasty in Dubai, Dr. Hatami ensures natural, balanced results.
“Surgery is a delicate balance between art and science. Through every procedure, I strive to respect the natural contours of the body while enhancing its beauty, always guided by the goal of helping my patients feel truly confident in themselves.”

Otoplasty Before and After Results
Before otoplasty, many patients have protruding ears, asymmetrical ear shapes, or ear deformities that can make them feel self-conscious. After the procedure, the ears typically appear closer to the head, with a more balanced and natural appearance. Before and after photos demonstrate dramatic improvements in ear position, symmetry, and overall facial harmony. The final results are usually visible within a few weeks after the swelling and bruising subside, with the ears appearing more youthful and proportional. With otoplasty in Dubai, Dr. Hatami ensures that the ears are naturally sculpted to enhance overall facial aesthetics.
Ear Surgery Before and After Expectations
Before ear surgery, patients may have noticeable concerns such as ears that protrude too far from the head or are asymmetrical. After ear surgery, patients typically experience significant improvement in ear position and symmetry, leading to a more harmonious facial profile. While immediate results are visible, it’s important to note that swelling and bruising may take a few days to subside, and full results emerge gradually. Dr. Hatami will provide you with a clear understanding of what to expect during recovery and healing. With otoplasty in Dubai, Dr. Hatami ensures safe, effective, and lasting results.

Otoplasty Recovery Time and Healing Process
Recovery from otoplasty typically takes about 7-10 days, with swelling and bruising gradually subsiding during this time. Most patients can resume light activities after 3-5 days, but should avoid strenuous exercise for 3-4 weeks. It is important to follow post-operative care instructions carefully, including wearing a protective headband to support the ears during the healing process. Full recovery can take 3-6 weeks, with final results visible once swelling has completely subsided. With otoplasty in Dubai, Dr. Hatami ensures a smooth recovery process, guiding you toward achieving a balanced, youthful ear appearance.
How to Sleep and Care After Otoplasty
After otoplasty, it is essential to sleep in an elevated position and avoid pressure on the ears. Patients are often advised to sleep with their head elevated on a pillow to reduce swelling. Ear protection is necessary during sleep, typically with a soft headband or bandage to prevent any accidental pressure or injury to the ears. For the first few weeks, it’s important to gently clean the area as directed by Dr. Hatami. Avoid rubbing or touching the ears during the initial healing period. With otoplasty in Dubai, following proper care ensures optimal results and smooth recovery.
