Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal age for otoplasty?
Children can undergo otoplasty from age 5-6 once ear development is complete. The procedure is safe for adults of any age. Many parents choose to have their children undergo otoplasty before starting school to prevent potential teasing.
Is otoplasty painful?
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia (children) or local anesthesia with sedation (adults), so no pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is minimal and well-managed with pain medication. Most patients report only mild soreness for a few days.
How long is recovery from otoplasty?
Initial recovery takes 7-10 days. A protective headband is worn for 1-2 weeks. Most patients return to school or work after one week. Strenuous activities should be avoided for 3-4 weeks. Final results are visible after 2-3 months as swelling subsides.
Will otoplasty results look natural?
Yes, Dr. Turkmen uses advanced techniques to create natural-looking ear positioning that maintains proper proportion to the head and face. The goal is ears that appear naturally positioned, not surgically altered. Scars are hidden behind the ear and fade significantly over time.

Otoplasty in Istanbul costs 50-70% less than in Western countries, typically ranging from €1,500-€3,000 depending on complexity.
