Protruding ear surgery

Think your ears are too visible and don’t match the rest of your face? In that case, protruding ear surgery is suitable for you. Having an ear correction done is never too late. The procedure means that the ears are corrected and permanently adjusted to form an attractive, natural shape and position. The result and effect on your appearance will surprise you!

Here at Wellness Kliniek, we only perform ear surgery on adults. Ear surgery on a child? We don’t do that at Wellness Kliniek. You must have reached the minimum age of 18. If you are almost 18, you are of course welcome to contact us for a no-obligation consultation.

Every anatomical problem requires a specific solution, because everyone looks different. That is why at Wellness Kliniek, we opt for customisation, which means we always look at what is needed for you to bring your face into perfect balance.

In the case of protruding or sticky-out ears, we normally make a small incision just behind the ear. This way, the surgeon can correct the position and shape of the ear. This procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and takes approximately 1 to 2 hours. We apply an elastic bandage that you normally have to wear for a week.

As explained, after the procedure to correct your protruding ears, you will receive an elastic bandage around them. The first week, you have to wear this day and night and you can’t touch or wash your ears. The bandage must remain dry and closed.

You need to come back to us a week later for a check-up. At that point, the surgeon will remove your bandage and stitches. After this, you can take a shower and wash your hair again, as you would normally. After that, you still need to wear the bandage, but only during the night, for a period of 4 to 6 weeks.

Most patients return to school or work after a week. However, it is best not to do any strenuous physical activity for several weeks. You can exercise again as before after about two weeks (but this varies, depending on the procedure and person). We will of course advise you on this.

After an ear correction, the scar remains visible as a red line for several weeks to months. Around 18 months after your procedure, the red line fades and turns paler. Fortunately, since this scar is behind your ear, it is barely visible!

The final result of the correction only becomes clear 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure. This result is of course permanent!

Transparency is of paramount importance at Wellness Kliniek. We therefore choose to apply all-in prices. The protruding ear surgery costs can be found in our clear price table. Booking an overnight stay in one of our private rooms is optional, but not necessary for an ear correction and you can go home on the same day.

Have you been considering protruding ear surgery for a while? Then this is the time to book a no-obligation consultation! Stop hiding your ears. Gather information and decide for yourself whether protruding ear surgery is right for you. This is how you get rid of those sticky-out ears!
