Will People Notice Otoplasty? (photo)

People may or may not notice the change depending on how ell they know you.  That however should not be important since you are doing this surgery for yourself. 

In many cases, the results of otoplasty
may be subtle and not very noticeable. 
In other cases, where major changes in the ear are necessary, changes
may not be easily hidden. Under these circumstances, efforts to disguise
changes may be necessary.

This is most easily accomplished with hair growth, and in some cases eye wear.  When your appearance changes people
will commonly point to the most noticeable finding.  It’s not unusual to hear people say, those glasses really
make you look different.

Scars are well hidden behind the
ear following this procedure and tend to heal nicely.  It would be unusual for scars in this location to draw
attention to your otoplasty.

In your case, the minimal changes
that you’re hoping for probably won’t be noticed by the average person.  Even subtle changes will be noticed by
the people who are the closest to you. 
In other words, it’s pretty hard to fool your mom or wife.

An ear pinning surgery (otoplasty) will generally conceal the incision behind the ear. These scars may remain red or raised for 3 months and therefore wearing your hair to conceal the backside of the ear will make the incision nearly invisible. Typically after 3 months the ear incisions are softe supple and look like an ear crease.
