How Noticeable Are the Scars After an Otoplasty?

The incisions to approach the ears are placed in the back of the ears in or very close to the crease where the ear is attached to the skull (post-auricular sulcus). After reshaping of the ear this incision is generally closed under low tension, a factor which makes a difference on the final appearance of the scar. The good news is the location of the scar which is generally hidden because of its location, in most hear bearing individuals. And, if the procedure is executed well and hopefully with no unforeseen healing complications the scar often turns out minimally noticeable in the long-term.

Dear Realself user,First of all this is a very good and common question.Because it is and operation in the end you are going to have cuts but because these scars of the cuts are behind your ear the outside world is not going to see it.

Scars after otoplasty are usually very well hidden in the natural crease behind the ears. As some skin is often excised in order to facilitate the set-back, this skin excision is performed in the area of the natural crease is not usually even visible.
All the best,
