Ear correction
From €4,000
Do you suffer from protruding ears? We can fix this with ear correction.
Protruding ears, also called floppy ears, are a congenital aesthetic abnormality of the cartilage skeleton of the auricle. The auricle is almost perpendicular to the head. We can correct this for you with an ear correction. An ear correction can occur on either one or both sides. Sometimes it only affects the top of the ear. Fortunately, protruding ears have no functional disadvantage, and we therefore call this an aesthetic abnormality. Protruding ears are relatively easy to correct surgically.

It is important that you receive the right treatment and therefore the plastic surgeon will determine during the first consultation whether your wishes for an eyelid correction can be met.
1. Consult
During the no-obligation consultation, your wishes will be discussed, and the plastic surgeon will assess whether ear surgery is a suitable treatment for your current situation. The plastic surgeon will inform you of the surgical risks and any potential complications. The consultation will also provide an opportunity to address all your questions, wishes, and complaints.
2. Operation
The plastic surgeon will first mark the area to be treated. You will then have the opportunity to ask any final questions. The ear correction will then be performed under local anesthesia. The surgery involves reducing the size of the auricle and/or correcting its position, and is performed through the back of the auricle. A curved incision is made behind the auricle, and a strip of skin is removed from the auricle.
3. Aftercare
Immediately after the surgery, you will receive a pressure bandage around your head. You will wear this day and night for one week. After this, you will wear a headband at night for three weeks. You may shower after the surgery, as long as you do not get the surgical area wet or touch it. You may not wash your hair for the first week, but you may do so again from the second week onward. It is best to sleep with your head slightly elevated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Immediately after the surgery, you will receive a pressure bandage around your head. You will wear this day and night for one week. This bandage will keep your ears in shape. After this week, you will wear a headband around your ears at night for three weeks. In total, you will wear something around your ears for four weeks, three of which will be the headband.
It's best to sleep with your head slightly elevated, using an extra pillow or raising the headboard. It's also recommended to sleep on your back to prevent pressure on your ears.
After the surgery, the treated area may be swollen and bruised at first. The bruises will disappear quickly, but swelling will take a few weeks to go down. The auricles are often a bit red, swollen, and sensitive for a number of weeks. As the swelling goes down, the ears will get their proper shape. The ultimate result of the ear correction can be assessed after about six weeks. Naturally, we will aim for complete symmetry, but we cannot give a 100% guarantee that this will be achieved.
With every surgery, there is a risk of infection, which manifests as pain, swelling, redness, and pus from the wound. Postoperative bleeding and an adverse reaction to the anesthetic may occur. Bruising can also occur, usually accompanied by swelling. Asymmetry may develop, and prolonged tenderness of the surgical area and scars may occur. Scars heal better in some individuals than in others. In rare cases, hypertrophic (significantly thickened) scars may form. If unexpected problems arise, for example, inflammation, increasing pain, postoperative bleeding, or impaired wound healing, please contact us immediately. Because we are a subsidiary of OLVG, We are available 24/7 in case of complications.

The surgery went quickly. I think it was about 45 minutes, but it felt like 20-30. Immediately afterward, I saw my ears in a mirror. They looked beautiful! I didn't feel drowsy or dull for a single moment. I hardly had any pain afterward.

“The result is more beautiful than I could have dreamed.
If I ever need anything done again, I would definitely go to Dr. Roossink again. Thank you so much for all the excellent care!
