Ear Counter Correction — Precise, Natural & Symmetry-Restoring Ear Reconstruction
At Pratap Hospital, Dr. Pratap Duggirala (M.S., M.Ch) offers advanced and highly precise Ear Counter Correction (Revision Ear Correction / Secondary Otoplasty) for patients unhappy with ear shape, projection, asymmetry, trauma-related deformities, or results from previous surgeries.
With over 15 years of expertise in aesthetic reconstruction, cartilage reshaping, microtechnique suturing, and delicate ear anatomy, Dr. Pratap is known for achieving natural, balanced, and long-lasting ear aesthetics.
Patients trust Dr. Pratap because he blends fine surgical craftsmanship, anatomical accuracy, and artistic contouring to restore ear symmetry, shape, and proportions that harmonize with the face.
Ear counter correction involves reshaping or correcting the ear to improve:
Prominent or protruding ears
Asymmetrical ear projection
Previous unsatisfactory ear surgery results
Trauma-induced ear deformities
Cartilage shape irregularities
Fold abnormalities (anti-helical fold issues)
Earlobe contour deformities
This procedure enhances both cosmetic appearance and facial balance, giving the ears a more natural and aesthetically pleasing shape.
