Follow-up and Return-to-Work Planning
These are usual clinic estimates, not guaranteed recovery deadlines. Your procedure-specific instructions, healing and individual clearance take priority.
Follow-up visits
For most procedures, the usual first follow-up is around 7 days. Confirm your individual appointment before leaving the clinic.
Follow-ups are included. Further visits are arranged according to your recovery.
Stitch removal
Stitches are usually removed around day 7 when applicable. Follow the date given by your surgeon.
Desk work
The usual estimate is around 2–3 days, depending on your procedure, comfort, work duties and your surgeon’s advice.
Physical work
The usual estimate is around 2–4 weeks. Confirm clearance for the lifting, bending and exertion involved in your job.
Exercise, driving and flights
Confirm these separately with your surgeon. Being ready for desk work does not mean you are cleared for exercise, driving or travel.
Companion
A companion is required for a sedated procedure. Arrange this before your treatment date.

What Is Ear Surgery?
Ear Surgery, also called Otoplasty, includes minor procedures that improve prominent ears, selected ear-shape concerns, torn or stretched earlobes, and ear tags. The recommended technique depends on the ear cartilage, the concern being treated, natural asymmetry, and the change that can be achieved safely.
Ear Procedures and Promotional Prices
Incisionless Otoplasty — ₱40,000
Uses carefully placed sutures to bring suitable prominent ears closer to the head without a skin incision. It is intended for selected patients without enlarged or overly developed conchal cartilage.
Traditional Otoplasty — ₱50,000
Uses incisions hidden behind the ear to reshape and reposition the cartilage. It may be recommended when the cartilage itself needs more correction.
Earlobe Repair — ₱30,000
Repairs a stretched or torn earlobe caused by earrings, gauges, or trauma and restores a more natural earlobe shape.
Ear Tag Removal — ₱25,000–₱30,000
Removes a congenital ear tag or accessory tragus near the ear. The final rate depends on the size and complexity of the tissue being removed.
Who May Be a Candidate?
Assessment may be appropriate for patients with prominent ears, an ear shape that feels out of balance with the face, a torn or stretched earlobe, or an ear tag. An in-person examination is required to assess cartilage shape and thickness, skin, natural asymmetry, previous injury or surgery, scarring tendency, health, and realistic expectations.
Recovery and Limitations
Swelling, bruising, tenderness, temporary numbness, and mild asymmetry are expected during early healing. A protective dressing or headband may be advised after Otoplasty. Avoid pressure, pulling, contact sports, and trauma to the ears until cleared.
The goal is better balance, not perfect symmetry. Scars, cartilage response, suture visibility, recurrence, infection, bleeding, wound problems, contour irregularity, and the possible need for further treatment must be discussed before surgery.
The most suitable technique can only be chosen after an in-person ear examination. No specific shape, exact symmetry, invisible scar, permanent correction, or complication-free recovery can be guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions
Ear Surgery FAQs
Will Ear Surgery leave visible scars?
Incisionless Otoplasty does not use a skin incision. Traditional Otoplasty usually places the incision behind the ear or within a natural fold. Earlobe and ear-tag procedures may leave a scar. Scars often fade, but no scar can be promised to become invisible.
What is the difference between incisionless and traditional Otoplasty?
Incisionless Otoplasty uses sutures to reposition suitable ears without cutting the skin. Traditional Otoplasty uses a hidden incision to reshape or reposition cartilage when a larger correction is needed. The right method depends on your anatomy.
Can both ears be treated in one session?
Yes, both ears are commonly treated during the same session when medically appropriate. Planning still accounts for each ear’s natural differences, and perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed.
How much downtime should I plan?
Some patients return to light work or school in about 3–5 days, but visible swelling and tenderness can last longer. Initial healing usually takes 2–4 weeks, while the ear continues settling for several months.
Are the results permanent?
The correction is intended to be long-lasting, but no result is guaranteed to be permanent. Trauma, strong tension, cartilage memory, suture problems, aging, and healing differences can change the result or require revision.
Can Ear Surgery be combined with another procedure?
Sometimes, when the total treatment time, anesthesia, health, and recovery plan remain safe. Dr. Bien will advise whether combining procedures is appropriate after assessment.
