Otoplasty Surgery in Sharjah: Your Same-Day Ear Reshaping Experience at Gaelan Hospital

If you’ve felt that your ears stand out a bit too much, or you simply wish for a more balanced look, otoplasty—or ear reshaping—could be the solution you’re looking for. At Gaelan Hospital in Sharjah, we offer advanced otoplasty surgery, performed entirely in just one day, right here in your community.

What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that changes the shape, position, or size of the ears. Whether you want to correct prominent ears from childhood or fix a past injury, otoplasty can create natural, harmonious results that blend beautifully with your features.

Why Do Patients Choose Otoplasty?

Many people in Sharjah and nearby areas like Ajman or Umm Al-Quwain choose otoplasty to overcome self-consciousness and feel more confident in their appearance. The reasons include:

• Prominent or protruding ears
• Previous injuries or congenital ear differences
• Desire for more symmetrical facial features

The Otoplasty Journey at Gaelan Hospital

Before the Procedure

Your journey starts with a caring consultation at Gaelan Hospital. Our expert cosmetic surgeons will meet with you to listen to your concerns and expectations. We’ll review your health history, examine your ears, and explain what the surgery can achieve—honestly and transparently.

Before surgery day, we’ll provide clear instructions so you feel fully prepared. Most patients are asked to fast for several hours before surgery, and wear comfortable, easy-to-remove clothing.

Day of Surgery: What Happens?

Otoplasty is performed as a day procedure—meaning you arrive in the morning and head home the very same day! Adults may have the surgery with local anesthesia, while children may require gentle general anesthesia.

The operation usually takes 1–2 hours. Your surgeon will make a tiny incision behind your ear, reshape the cartilage, and then close the area with fine stitches. The incision is hidden, leaving little to no visible scars.

After the Procedure: Quick Recovery, Lasting Results

Once the surgery is finished, you’ll rest in our recovery area while our team keeps a close eye on your comfort and safety. Most people experience mild swelling or soreness, but this fades quickly with proper care.

Our staff will explain aftercare tips, such as:

• Keep headband or dressings in place as advised
• Avoid sleeping on your sides for the first days
• Watch for any signs of infection or issues (which are rare!)
• Attend your follow-up visits for the best results

Children often return to school and adults to work within about a week. Full healing and the final appearance usually occur over the next few weeks.
