How Much Would It Cost to Get an Otoplasty on a Single Ear? (photo)

                 This can be performed under local anesthesia and will cost at least $3000.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of facial and ear correction surgeries each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

The average cost for cosmetic ear surgery in Toronto, Ontario, is from $6000 to $8000 for both ears, and it would be a couple thousand dollars less if only one ear is targeted. Some variables that are considered to determine cost include the surgeon fees, anesthesia/anesthesiologist fees, technique applied, and surgical facility.

On an adult an otoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia and oral sedation,depending on the patient

In your case the cost you would be looking at $2000 depending on the anesthetic type used. 

There is a very wide range depending upon your city and the office you choose. A one sided otoplasty is typically cheaper than doing both sides as it requires shorter operative time. You can expect a range from $3500-6000 depending upon the above factors. I hope this information is helpful.

The costs for otoplasty varies significantly around the country. Our

necessary). More expensive cities such as New York or Los Angeles or
areas with fewer board certified plastic surgeons may be more expensive.
One way to ensure the lowest possible costs and achieve the
highest possible quality is to locate a board certified plastic surgeon
