Ears may seem like a minor feature, but their shape and position significantly affect facial balance and overall appearance. Many individuals feel self-conscious about protruding, asymmetrical, or misshaped ears, which can impact confidence and social comfort. Otoplasty, or ear reshaping surgery, is a reliable solution that addresses these concerns. In Riyadh, this procedure has gained popularity for its natural, long-lasting results. At Royal Clinic Saudia, patients receive expert care, advanced techniques, and personalized attention to ensure optimal outcomes.

Understanding Otoplasty

Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape or reposition the ears, correct protrusions, or address congenital deformities. Suitable for both children and adults, the procedure enhances facial symmetry and boosts self-esteem. Riyadh clinics use modern techniques to minimize discomfort, reduce recovery time, and deliver natural-looking results.
