Procedure for Ear Reduction and Cost?

There are different aspects of the ears than can be reduced. These may include reduction of the cup part, the top cartilaginous part, the lobe, or just reduction of the angle from the head (its protrusion). Depending on some or many of these aspects the complexity and cost may change.

Thank you for your question. Prices vary depending on location and
surgeon but range anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000. I would advise you to
schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed
examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your
expectations are. 

Dear Realself user,It is importent you chose a doctor that is specialized in otoplasty. I use my own created flap technique because I believe this is the best method to use to prevent the ears from going back to the way they looked before the surgery.I charge between 2.500 and 4000 Euro depending on which hospital you pick and if you are having a revision.Good luck.

Ear reduction is usually termed Otoplasty. Prices can vary widely, but usually will range somewhere in the $4,000 - $6,000 range depending on the surgeon, location, complexity of the particular procedure, and other factors. These costs may or may not include facility fees and anesthesia fees.
In our practice, the procedure can be performed under general anesthesia (small children), IV sedation (teenagers and adults), or local anesthesia with or without oral sedation (adults). The procedure takes about 45 minutes per ear for a total of about 1.5 hours.
The ears are injected with local anesthesia, an incision is made in the crease behind the ears so that it is hidden, and the cartilages are then sculpted, shaped, or sutured to achieve the desired result. Patients can go home immediately after surgery and in my practice, follow up the next day for dressing removal.
Pain is usually minimal compared to most other surgical procedures. The biggest risk is damaging the surgical correction, so a protective headband is worn at all times for the first 2 weeks, and then at night and as needed after that. Most patients do quite well and are extremely satisfied with the results. 
All the best,

Otoplasty costs vary from center to center and can depend on the following factors:-Surgicenter vs office based- The operating room costs are typically much higher since an anesthesiologist and other fees tend to be higher.  The operating room is best for patients who are not candidates for in office procedures and typically younger than age 10 or have anxiety about an in office procedure.  Patients who have otoplasty an in office procedure will save substantial money.  -Time- Experienced otoplasty surgeons tend to be more efficient than unexperienced surgeons.  Procedures that take 1 hour typically cost less than procedures that take 4 hours as you are paying for the surgeon's time.  Many revision otoplasty procedures I see in my office (surgeries performed by outside surgeons) tend to be on patients who had longer procedures and likely less experienced surgeons.   -Geography- Certain areas tend to be higher priced due to factors such as higher cost of living, higher rents, etc.For these reasons, otoplasty can range in cost from $2500 to $9000.  

It’s not unusual for patients with
prominent ears to describe their ears as large.  When they seek treatment they usually want their ears
reduced and made smaller.  In
reality, their ears aren’t large, but instead prominent because they protrude
from the side of the head.

                  Under
these circumstances patients require a setback otoplasty. This procedure is
performed through an incision on the back of the ear.  It involves placing sutures in the back of the ear, which
changes the ears contour and brings the ear closer to the side of the head.
This ultimately makes the ear look smaller and less prominent.

                  This
procedure is associated with high satisfaction rates and minimal
complications.  The procedure
typically costs between $3500 and $4000. 
Patients considering this procedure should consult a board certified
plastic surgeon with experience in this area.

The most common technique used secures the ears closer to the head therefore changing the position of the ear.  The ear is not really made smaller but appears smaller because to as much of the ear can be seen.  I perform this procedure under local anesthesia and the surgery done through an incision on the back of the ear.  The healing time is one week.  The cost of the surgery ranges from $3500-5000.There are very few patients that actually need their ears to be made "smaller".  In this case I perform a procedure that doesn't change the position of the ear relative to the head but decreases the length of the ear.  To change the length of the ear, the incision needs to be placed on the front of the ear in an inconspicuous area so that it is not seen once healed.  Please make sure you see an ear surgery expert when contemplating this surgery.

Costs for ear reduction surgery for prominent ears can vary tremendously and range from 3-7000 for total charges depending on what needs to be done and on the anesthetic technique.

Cost of ear reduction varies. In our practice the cost for both ears is $5075 which includes the surgeon fee, the operating room fee, and anesthesia fee.

Ears can be made smaller, from the top down to the earlobes. The procedure is usually done as an outpatient and it's very well tolerated. The cost varies depending on what you would like to do surgically, but the range is usually between $1,000-$5,000. Earlobe reductions can even be done in the office under local anesthesia only.
