How Much Does Otoplasty (ear surgery) Cost in Thailand?

The cost of otoplasty (ear surgery) in Thailand typically ranges from $1,300 to $1,800. Pricing can vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, whether one or both ears are treated, and the complexity of the correction. In the United States, the average price is $5,500 (per ASPS). Otoplasty in Thailand is about 73% less expensive than in the U.S.

Thai clinics usually include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, operating room use, standard medical supplies, and follow-up visits in the quoted price. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with separate charges for anesthesia, facility use, and aftercare. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.

Otoplasty (ear surgery) in Thailand: Your Travel Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Thailand
  • Upon arrival, you should arrange for the complimentary airport pick-up service if you have made the required deposit, usually 30% of the total cost.
  • Check into your pre-booked accommodation. You should stay in a hotel close to the clinic to minimize travel time.
  • Rest and acclimate to the local time zone. This ensures you are well-rested for the pre-operative consultations and procedures.
Day 2: Pre-Surgery Consultation and Medical Check-up
  • Attend your scheduled consultation with the surgeon. This typically takes place on a Tuesday or Thursday morning, around 9 or 9:30 am.
  • The surgeon will conduct a physical examination and discuss the specifics of your otoplasty procedure, including options like pin ear correction.
  • Undergo necessary pre-operative tests, which may include blood tests, EKG, and X-rays to confirm your readiness for surgery.
  • Discuss anesthesia options. You may choose between local anesthesia with lidocaine or general anesthesia, depending on your preference and the surgeon's recommendations.
  • Ensure you have completed the full payment for the procedure, as many clinics require this before surgery.
Day 3: Surgery Day
  • Arrive at the clinic at the scheduled time for your otoplasty surgery.
  • The procedure typically takes around 2 hours. If you opted for local anesthesia, sedation can be added upon request for additional comfort.
  • Post-surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery room. Expect to stay overnight in the hospital as the condition can be quite painful post-operation.
  • Ensure you follow all post-operative care instructions provided by the medical staff.
Day 4: Discharge and Initial Recovery
  • After being discharged from the hospital, return to your accommodation for rest.
  • Continue taking prescribed medications to manage pain and prevent infection. These will be provided as part of your take-home medication package.
  • Arrange for follow-up visits as instructed by your surgeon to monitor your recovery progress.
  • Avoid physical activities that may strain your ears and follow any dietary recommendations to aid recovery.
Day 5-6: Rest and Recovery
  • Focus on rest and avoid unnecessary movement. Ensure your head is elevated while sleeping to reduce swelling.
  • Maintain communication with the clinic's nursing staff or English translator if you have any concerns or questions about your recovery.
Day 7-8: Follow-Up Appointment
  • Visit the clinic for a follow-up consultation. This is typically when stitches are removed, around 7-8 days post-surgery.
  • The surgeon will assess your healing progress and provide further instructions for continued recovery.
  • Discuss any concerns with the surgeon and adjust post-operative care as needed.
Day 9-13: Continued Recovery and Monitoring
  • Continue to follow the surgeon's advice on ear care. This may include cleaning the area and avoiding activities that could impact the healing process.
  • Monitor for any signs of infection or complications and contact the clinic if anything unusual occurs.
  • Plan for your return home, ensuring you have all necessary medical documentation and follow-up instructions.
Day 14: Departure from Thailand
  • Ensure you have attended all scheduled follow-up appointments and received clearance from your surgeon to travel.
  • Pack all medications and instructions provided by the clinic for continued care at home.
  • Arrange transportation to the airport and depart Thailand, ensuring you follow any travel advice related to your recent surgery.

100% recommend this clinic
On 19.02.2025 I had breast augmentation surgery. Beforehand, I received a detailed consultation from professionals Dr Anychit Kitsombud, Dr Elena Goldobenko and nurse Maricor. The doctor helped with the choice of size and shape of implants, told me in detail about the operation, consequences, recovery process, gave clear recommendations. The surgery was easy, the medical staff was always in touch, they helped, cared. Dr Elena is always in touch, controls the recovery process, gives recommendations. Definitely, the choice of this clinic was the right decision for this operation. I am very happy with the result. 100% recommend this clinic. Professionalism, safety, care - B Care!

I'm still healing from my surgery but so far I'm very happy with the result and would recommend the hospital and clinic, and would like to reassure anyone going abroad that you'll be in good hands!
Had a rhinoplasty at B care hospital and the care the team provided was amazing. Just wanted to write this to reassure anyone looking into it, as my family were concerned about me heading out to Thailand to have the procedure as a lot of families would be. The hospital and clinic were sparkling clean. The co-ordinator, nurse and doctor were all just lovely and very attentive to my needs. There was no difficulty communicating with the doctor who went through exactly what would be done during the procedure. One thing I was happy about was the 2 nights in hospital - other places I looked at only gave you one night, or even home the same day. Being sleepy after the surgery, I wouldn't have wanted to go back to my accom the same day. I was grateful I had the lovely nurse Mariko looking after me. Also the room at the hospital was lovely - spacious and bright with a nice en suite and all the facilities you would need. I also realised I had tonsillitis on the day I left the hospital (I think I got it before I even had the surgery) and the team were very caring and made sure I had all the medications I needed for that too, before going back to my accommodation. I'm still healing from my surgery but so far I'm very happy with the result and would recommend the hospital and clinic, and would like to reassure anyone going abroad that you'll be in good hands! Bookimed were also really good at keeping in touch and my coordinator Marsela was patient while I took my time to decide if I was going to go ahead with the procedure in the first place, and was always there to answer any questions I had. All very much appreciated!

Staff support on line and in person was outstanding
Dr was available to talk to prior to surgery. Staff support on line and in person was outstanding . Care following surgery was good. And response to follow up questions outstanding. My only concern was my lack of knowledge of the extent of the surgery and what would happen afterwards. Staff and Dr answered all my questions but it was the things I didn't ask and therefore didn't expect afterwards. It would be good to have a handout or link to webpage with some idea of what happens to your body afterwards and what to worry about or not. . This is especially the case when you are leaving the area afterwards.

Everything went very easily, the case when you are dealing with highly qualified specialists
Hello everyone, There was a problem with gynecomastia in the left breast. I saw an advertisement from the “bookimed” campaign on the Internet, after which I read the reviews (which aroused confidence) and contacted “Bookimed”, the company's managers were sympathetic to my situation and coordinated with Elena who works at B.care medical clinic (in Bangkok) . Elena clearly and clearly explained how we can eliminate this problem, after which I came for a consultation, having done an ultrasound scan, sent blood tests and after consulting with Elena and a Thai surgeon, gynecomastia in the left breast was confirmed, it was decided to operate. I arrived at the clinic on the morning of the operation, Elena and a team of Thai nurses prepared everything clearly and after 2-3 hours the doctor began the operation under local anesthesia, the operation lasted 1 hour + -, everything was professional, Elena's support was present even during the operation (tk I didn’t sleep), after the operation, I spent one more day at the hospital in the clinic (the room is very comfortable, the conditions and communication from the staff are at a high level - shower, food, cleaning, Elena and nurses visit to control my condition). Everything went very easily, the case when you are dealing with highly qualified specialists. Elena, thank you for organizing and coordinating the preparatory, operational and postoperative working moments and for maintaining morale during the operation!

But overall I'm really happy with my experience with the ID Clinic team ☺️
Ice was one of the nurses who collected me from the airport. She was so kind for waiting nearly two hours for me due to a delay I had. She helped me so much after my surgery too. Another nurse Marge was wonderful. She helped with translation and my aftercare, she was so gentle when helping take out my stitches. I thank all of the nursing staff, they were all wonderful in their own way and treated me very well. I wish I could have spoken with the doctor more, he always seemed in a rush, I know he is a very busy man but if he could slow down just a bit it would help the patient care factor improve. But overall I'm really happy with my experience with the ID Clinic team ☺️ I only took two pictures of the inside of my overnight room, the clinic was very clean and comfortable and beautiful 🙏

I'm very impressed with the outcome
I'm very impressed with the outcome. Bookimed assistant was helpful and arrange a virtual consultation with the consultant. While English was not his strong fort, his expertise made up for it. The staff, especially Margi was extremely valuable as she speaks fluently English. Her knowledge and expertise was well appreciated as well as her care and attentiveness. The staff was nice. I did rhinoplasty and liposuction and I'll very impressed with the outcome. Post op care was provided. The nose did not hurt post op in comparison with the liposuction, which was quite uncomfortable. Not painful, numb and tender I suppose. As to the cost, it's fairly competitive.

I had my surgery at B.care on Bukimed's recommendation. Before the surgery, I asked the doctor 3 times what complications there could be, but the interpreter and (assistant surgeon) "did not understand the question" said that there could be problems "ONLY if I do not do massage after surgery. After my breast augmentation, my pocket tore and my implant went down. The doctor told me to wear a rubber band from the post-operative underwear - on top, which provoked the breast drooping even more. Then I was taken to the breast correction, which was done under local anesthesia, just injected the breast with Ledocoin, cut the stitches, tightened and sewed back. It was very painful and I experienced a huge amount of stress that I still remember to this day. This kind of surgery should be under general anesthesia. After the correction, I have again lowered one breast, of course, not so much, but still, very ugly looks. Also initially the doctor placed the implants very low, because of this there is little volume on top, it looks like not round but drop-shaped implant (which does not fit my body type). All postoperative rules and recommendations and followed, wore underwear and massages. The doctor said that this is because I "lay on the chest" shifting the responsibility on me. But, to surf I was allowed in 2.5 months, and there you need to lie on the chest. I learned about the fact that you can not lie on the chest for a year, when I had a torn pocket. I do not recommend the clinic and the surgeon. Very disappointed.

The staff are very friendly and make you feel really comfortable. It is sometimes a bit difficult to communicate in the clinic as not every member of staff speaks English well, but it's not a big problem. I was very nervous before my tummy tuck but the nurse was really responsive to me. Contact is always via WhatsApp, which is very convenient. I am driven to the clinic every 2 days and the clinic covers the travel costs. Everything is also included. I am more than satisfied for the price and can highly recommend the clinic.

The surgery is performed at the clinic not at a hospital which concerned me (were they prepared if something went wrong), the rooms opened up to the front desk where people would come for appointments and the toilet was across reception. I felt I didn't have much privacy and was very exposed. Nurses would not always come especially at night when I needed assistance to the toilet. I would be waiting at my hotel for a car and they would have forgotten to send one so the organisation level was not very good. It wasn't a very friendly/caring environment i felt. The communication was very poor too, there was one lady there that spoke English and she never smiled it just didnt feel good. I spoke to the doctor very briefly on surgery day and then he never spoke to me again. I wouldnt go back, ive had surgery in Thailand before and had a far better experience.
The nurses who cleaned my bandages and helped with my compression garments were lovely.
Room quality, upfront about procedures being done in a small operating room at a small clinic not hospital (was about 10 steps from reception), assistance and attentiveness (I didnt get fed after surgery i had to ask for food and they gave me boiled rice, then they also forgot about my breakfast), needs massive improvement in communication and organisation. More support and care. Doctor follow up post surgery should be done.
About Bookimed service
My experience with Bookimed prior to surgery was okay but I was really disappointed with the clinic having had it recommended by Bookimed. There should have been alot I should have been told about prior regarding the clinic and I voiced what was happening but I dont think much will be done about it but I just hope noone else has a similar experience as mine.

These clinics have received positive reviews from patients who have praised the professional, competent, and friendly staff, as well as the clean and comfortable facilities. The cost of treatment is also reasonable compared to other countries. Therefore, Thailand is a good destination for Otoplasty (ear surgery) due to its high-quality medical services, experienced doctors, and reasonable prices.

How long does it take to get Otoplasty (ear surgery) in Thailand?

The total time for an Otoplasty trip to Thailand is approximately 7-10 days, including pre-operative consultations, surgery and post-operative recovery.

Which hospital is best for Otoplasty (ear surgery) in Thailand?

Bookimed's rating has revealed the top 5 hospitals in Thailand for Otoplasty (ear surgery):

  1. Bumrungrad International Hospital
  2. B.Care Medical Center
  3. Nirunda
  4. Dr. V Plastic Surgery
  5. Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute

Who is the best Otoplasty (ear surgery) doctors in Thailand?

Bookimed has identified the top doctors in Thailand who excel in performing Otoplasty (ear surgery):

  1. Anuchit Kitsombat, Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetology, Plastic Surgery, 23 years experience

What types of otoplasty procedures are available in Thailand?

According to the Cleveland Clinic, the 3 main types of otoplasty are ear pinning, ear reduction, and ear augmentation. Ear pinning brings protruding ears closer to the head, ear reduction decreases the size of large ears, and ear augmentation enlarges underdeveloped or small ears.

What conditions can ear correction surgery address?

Ear surgery can correct protruding, large, or underdeveloped ears. It also addresses structural issues from injury or congenital deformities. Surfer's ear surgery removes bone growth in the ear canal caused by repeated cold water exposure.

What is the typical recovery time after ear correction surgery?

Most patients return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days after ear correction surgery. Bruising and swelling start to go down around day 3 and improve steadily. The ears usually heal fully within 6 to 8 weeks, with final results visible by 12 weeks.

At what age is it safe to have otoplasty?
