Correcting one ear
If mainly one ear sticks out, the surgeon corrects only that side. €1,699.
NATURAL STAND, REAL BALANCE
Correcting protruding ears
Protruding ears stick out further from your head than you'd like, on one side or both. With otoplasty our plastic surgeon sets your ears closer to your head, under local anaesthetic and in about 60 minutes. The result is permanent: your ears no longer stand out, your face does.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
How to recognise protruding ears
With protruding ears, your ears stick out further from your head than average. Sometimes it's one ear, making your ears look asymmetric, sometimes both. Ears that seem out of proportion with the rest of your face fall under it too.
A correction doesn't turn your ear into a different ear. The surgeon changes the position and sometimes the shape, so your ears sit closer to your head and your face is in balance. We call it ear correction, also known as otoplasty.

Our philosophy
Stay fresh and natural thanks to our No Trace Face® technique
At Soap, we find it super important to treat you in such a way that you look fresher, more rested, and a touch younger, but never treated. That's why all our experts work according to the No Trace Face® techniques we developed.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN
Where protruding ears come from
Protruding ears are usually congenital. Your outer ear has a natural fold, and with protruding ears it's less developed. Or the cartilage is shaped slightly differently. As a result your ear stands further away from your head.
So it's not the result of anything you did wrong. And because the position sits in the cartilage, that's exactly where the surgeon corrects it.
ONE EAR OR BOTH
Which ear correction suits you
One ear, both or just your earlobe: the procedure and price differ. Below you see the three options, and the surgeon confirms during your consult which one suits you.
)
Correcting both ears
If both your ears stick out, the surgeon corrects both sides. €2,399.
)
Just your earlobe
If only your earlobe is torn or out of shape, an earlobe correction is a better fit. From €499.

WHAT TO EXPECT
How ear correction works
It starts with a consult with one of our plastic surgeons. They look at your ears and discuss what you want to change.
The procedure itself takes about 60 minutes and is usually done under local anaesthetic, so you feel little to nothing. Through a small incision behind your ear the surgeon corrects the cartilage, so your ear sits closer to your head.
Afterwards you rest for a while in our recovery room with a healthy juice, and you get a Soap bag to take home. You go home the same day, but don't drive yourself.
SAME PROCEDURE, THREE NAMES
Ear correction, pinning back ears or otoplasty
Searching for ear correction or ear pinning? You'll also come across the name otoplasty. It's the same procedure: the surgeon shapes the cartilage of your outer ear and sets your ear closer to your head. The name says nothing about the technique.
Exactly what the surgeon does to the cartilage depends on the shape of your ear. The surgeon decides this per ear during your consult, even if only one side sticks out.

I had an appointment at Stadionweg, a beautiful location with staff that greets you incredibly friendly upon arrival. For me, this is truly a pampering moment! And when I look in the mirror, I still enjoy the subtle treatment, because every day I still see a fresh look, thank you for that 🩷

First time at Soap. I was called the same day and scheduled on the day and time of my preference. Friendly reception, didn't have to wait long and then really well helped. More than satisfied!

AFTERCARE
After your procedure: bandage and headband
Right after the procedure you wear a pressure bandage. Then comes a headband: day and night for the first week, then only at night for a few more weeks.
When you can swim again or play contact sports is something your surgeon discusses with you during aftercare.
Once the swelling has completely subsided, you will see the final result. And that result lasts, because the position of the cartilage has been structurally corrected.

CLEAR PRICES, CLEAR CHOICES
What ear correction costs
Ear correction costs €1,699 for one side and €2,399 for both sides.

READY WHEN YOU ARE
Ears that no longer stand out
During your consult a Soap plastic surgeon looks at the position and shape of your ears, and honestly tells you what a correction can do for you. You're not committed to anything.
The goal is simple: your ears no longer stand out, your face does.
