Otoplasty Prices London · Harley Street
Adult or child, one ear or both, local or general anaesthetic: each affects the cost of ear pinning. Ms Anna De Leo provides a clear, written quote after consultation.
How much does otoplasty cost in London?
Otoplasty costs in London are set individually because ears differ in what makes them prominent. The price depends on whether one or both ears are corrected, which cartilage techniques are needed, and whether surgery is under local anaesthetic, usual for adults, or general anaesthetic, usual for children. Headband and dressings are part of the plan. Ms Anna De Leo assesses the ears at 64 Harley Street and then issues a written quote. Request one by form or WhatsApp.

What a Otoplasty quote includes
Your written quote from Harley Street is itemised, so you can see exactly what is covered.
- Surgeon's feeMs De Leo's fee for reshaping the ear cartilage, whether recreating the antihelical fold, setting back the concha or adjusting the earlobe.
- AnaestheticLocal anaesthetic for most adults, or a consultant anaesthetist's fee where a child, or an adult who prefers it, has general anaesthesia.
- Day-case theatre and nursingTheatre time and recovery nursing for a day-case procedure, with paediatric-appropriate arrangements where the patient is a child.
- Head bandage and headbandThe protective head bandage applied after surgery and the soft headband worn afterwards, particularly at night, to protect the new ear shape.
- Dressing change and stitch careRemoval of the head bandage at the first review and care of the incision in the crease behind the ear, including any stitches that need removing.
- Follow-up appointmentsReviews with Ms De Leo to check the position and symmetry of the ears and the healing of the hidden scars.
What affects Otoplasty prices in London
These are the factors Ms De Leo considers when preparing your personalised quote.
One ear or both
Many people have two prominent ears, but some notice that only one sticks out. Correcting a single ear is shorter, although it must be carefully matched to the opposite side so the two look balanced from the front. Where both ears are reshaped, the operating time roughly reflects twice the work, and the quote is adjusted accordingly.
Cause of the prominence
Ears may stand out because the antihelical fold is missing, because the concha bowl is deep, because the lobe is prominent, or because of a combination of these. Each feature requires its own technique, such as permanent shaping stitches, cartilage scoring or setting back the concha. The more features that need correcting, the longer the procedure.
Age and cartilage firmness
Children's cartilage is soft and moulds readily, while adult cartilage is firmer and may need scoring or thinning to hold its new shape. These adaptations take extra time in theatre. Age also influences the setting and anaesthetic required, so a quote for a seven-year-old and a quote for an adult with the same ears will not necessarily be the same.
Local or general anaesthetic
Adults and older teenagers usually have otoplasty under local anaesthetic, which avoids an anaesthetist's fee and allows a quick return home. Young children normally need general anaesthesia so that they remain still and comfortable. Some anxious adults also prefer sedation or a general anaesthetic, which can be arranged and is costed as a separate element.
Earlobe or rim reshaping
Some patients also want a prominent or large earlobe reduced, or an irregular rim refined, at the same time as their ears are set back. These are additional steps rather than part of every otoplasty, so they are only included in the quote when you and Ms De Leo agree they will improve the overall balance of the ear.
Revision of previous ear surgery
Correcting an ear that has been operated on before, perhaps one that looks pinned too flat, has a sharp ridge or has partly returned to its original position, involves working with scarred cartilage and skin. This secondary surgery is more complex and is planned and quoted individually after a careful assessment.
Beyond the price: choosing well
Ears are seen from the front, the side and the back, and a result that looks natural from every angle depends on precise cartilage work rather than simply pulling the ears flat. Over-correction can create a stuck-down 'telephone ear' appearance, sharp cartilage edges or asymmetry that is hard to put right later. For children, gentle handling, attention to the child's own wishes and appropriate anaesthetic care matter just as much as technique. Ms De Leo's reconstructive background brings a detailed understanding of ear anatomy. For adult patients, ADLSynergy can add scar therapy and massage for the incision behind the ear and support with sleep and breathwork while you wear the headband at night.
