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.

Medical team was as expected, nurses were very good. Language barrier was an issue, after care support was nil, staff were off sick, one nurse working with inpatient and me as outpatient. I was not ambulatory, so she came to me. Very rushed, no explanation of meds or paperwork. Medical certificate pre filled out before final surgery was even done. Surgeons tummy tuck was done well, neck lift - good, butt lift and breast lift not done, fat transfer instead, not what I wanted. Face lift was only on upper eye lid and did not work as expecterd, was looking for blepharoplasty, Upper and lower eye lids. Surgeon did not know what I meant. Still have wrinkles around eyes, still have over hanging eyelid in brow area. Not recommended if you have additional health issues, I have anaphylaxis to wheat which means all medications need to be checked, nurses and doctor did not know what I meant, so I could not take food or medication there. Also, most staff did not understand my request for wheat free foods- became a big issue. Perfectly fine to attend this clinic if you are in good health and have no other life threatening health issues. Below photo on left is what I got, photo on right is what I wanted. AS you can see in the other e photos, myafor arm adn upper arms still have excess skin and wrinkles, my inner thighs still have too much skin and lots of wrinkles. I had asked for VASER lyposuction, this liquifies fat and shrinks skin, not sure I got that type of liposuction. This bruising 2 weeks post surgery.
Nurses were wonderful
Surgeon was impatient and unwilling to try to understand my needs, again language was an issue
About Bookimed service

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!

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 🙏
The staff and nurses were exceptional!
Not enough conversation with the doctor, he seemed in a hurry

Very thorough and attentive medical staff. Vip like attention to detail and care. I was apprehensive if this was the right clinic for lipo as most of their services centred around aesthetics fillers and botox and those stuff. Had lipo on my abs and flanks, and I can already see the results after 10 days. Dr Aim really knows what she’s doing. Their BISP clinic is really comfy, they should prob move major procedures there in the future as it’s bigger than the Big C one. Thank you Siam Clinic.

The language needs to be improved for translation. The doctor needs to spend more time with clients explaining the procedures that will happen. The after care is very intermediate. Any issues raised is hard to explain because of the language difference. A staff are wonderful however I’m not sure about the qualifications felt like I was in an abattoir. Still waiting to see surgeon back in home country as cast taken off to soon and nose is out of shape . Rather concerned but I guess you get what you pay for
The staff are wonderful, but again, not sure about the qualification
Language communication with the consultation very poor and only seen us for three minutes. Photo of what I was expecting. Outcome doesn’t look anything like I specified. When raised with the surgeon was told once again with poor English that it was swelling and a nod of head that all is ok..
About Bookimed service
This is very far from what the photos and staff on booking IMED presented. It felt like a very rough area, hygiene had a lot to stand up for western standard , again staff are wonderful but the language barrier is unbearable when you are getting surgery and worries about certain things that just can’t be answered due to language barriers

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 was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and easy the process was from start to finish
Bookimed was extremely helpful, making the whole process seamless. I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and easy the process was from start to finish. I felt well supported and all of my questions and concerns were always answered in a timely manner. The staff at ID Clinic were approachable and friendly, they attended to my needs and requests immediately during my overnight stay and the days following my surgery. The only thing I am not satisfied with, is the lack of depth of my in person consult prior to surgery, as my breast asymmetry was not properly addressed or discussed. Now, I will likely have to explore alternate procedures at a high cost to correct my breast asymmetry once I am fully healed, which I am frustrated with as I feel this should have been taken into consideration and corrected during my initial breast augmentation surgery. However, I would still recommend Bookimend and the ID Clinic as my overall experience was good.
The ease and comfort of the process once I arrived in Thailand.
The lack of depth of my in person consult prior to surgery, that no interventions were made to correct my breast asymmetry during surgery.

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.

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?

Children as young as 5 or 6 can safely undergo ear pinning surgery, once their ears reach near-adult size. Surgeons often recommend early correction to avoid teasing or self-esteem issues. Adults can have the procedure at any age if they are healthy and have realistic expectations.

How visible are scars after ear reshaping?

Scars after ear reshaping are small and well hidden behind the ears or in natural creases. With proper care, most scars fade significantly within 6 to 12 months.

Will otoplasty affect my hearing abilities?

Otoplasty procedures like ear pinning affect only the outer ear and do not change your ability to hear.

What are the risks associated with ear pinning or surfer's ear surgery?

Potential risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, and changes in skin sensation. These complications are rare, with over 96% of ear correction surgeries proceeding without them.

How long do the results of ear correction surgery last?

Results of otoplasty are permanent, although changes can occur if the patient injures their ears after ear correction surgery.

Are there non-surgical alternatives to traditional otoplasty?

Yes, some non-surgical options like ear molding or taping can help reshape infant ears if started within the first few weeks of life. For adults, devices like external splints exist but offer limited and temporary results. Surgery remains the most effective and lasting solution for significant ear shape correction.

What are the top clinics in Thailand for otoplasty procedures?

Based on the Bookimed ranking, the top clinics for otoplasty in Thailand are:

  • ID Clinic Bangkok – Bangkok, Thailand
  • Asia Cosmetic Hospital – Bangkok, Thailand
  • Bangkok Plastic Surgery – Bangkok, Thailand
  • Rattinan Clinic – Bangkok, Thailand

What is the level of medicine in Thailand?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.

As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

What hotel service is provided here?

In the Kingdom of Thailand, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Thai hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Thailand?

The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.

Do I need a visa?

For now, the Kingdom of Thailand requires different visa regimens for diverse states. Some foreigners can stay in the country 60 days without visa control, some of them — only 14 days.
