Otoplasty (Ear Correction) in Turkey
Ear correction by specialist plastic surgeons in Istanbul — pinned back or reshaped, as day surgery.
Otoplasty — ear correction — with GlobMedTrust brings prominent ears closer to the head or corrects their shape. It is day surgery: you leave the hospital the same day.
What Is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty corrects ears that stick out, are unusually large or are shaped unevenly. The surgeon reshapes the cartilage and, where needed, removes a little skin, so the ears sit closer to the head and look in proportion.
The incision usually lies in the fold behind the ear, where the scar is hidden.
Who Is It For?
For anyone bothered by prominent or uneven ears. One ear or both can be treated. During your medical review, your surgeon assesses which correction your ears need.

Recovery
You leave the hospital the same day and can walk from day 1. The main swelling settles after about one week, and your final result shows after 3–6 months. Most patients stay up to 3 nights in Istanbul; some fly home the same day — it depends on how complex your correction is and on what you prefer.
What otoplasty costs
Treatment in Turkey often costs less than in the UK or US.
Your price depends mainly on these factors: one ear or both; whether the ears are pinned back, reshaped or reduced; your package and length of stay.
Every package includes your treatment; Comfort and Imperial add the hotel, transfers and full aftercare.
Your price comes down to your ears: one or both, and whether they are pinned back, reshaped or reduced. In a medical review, our medical team assesses exactly that from your photos and medical history and gives you your personal quote.
