HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS FOR THE EARS

What is ear aging ?

Just like the face, the ears undergo age-related changes. The lobes become loose and wrinkled, and preauricular wrinkles appear. These changes can create self-consciousness: many women no longer dare to show their ears, try to hide them with their hair, and stop wearing earrings.

Ear rejuvenation has a significant impact on the overall appearance of the face, giving it a more youthful and harmonious look. Hyaluronic acid injections in the ears help to soften wrinkles and fine lines, restore lost volume in the lobe, correct possible asymmetries, and firm the skin.

Beyond these aesthetic benefits, this procedure has a positive effect on self-confidence and self-esteem. Indeed, as we age, the ears contribute to a less refreshed appearance of the face.

What causes ear aging ?

The factors responsible for changes in the ears include :

  • Wearing overly heavy earrings.
  • Sleeping positions : sleeping on one side promotes the appearance of preauricular wrinkles.
  • Facelifts : facial lifting procedures can contribute to the formation of preauricular wrinkles.
  • Thinning of the skin and loss of fat in the lobes, which are inevitable over time, are the main factors behind sagging earlobes and the development of wrinkles in this area.

How to rejuvenate the ears ?

Hyaluronic acid injections for the ears, also known as non-surgical medical otoplasty, are an effective procedure to correct aesthetic imperfections of the ears without surgery.
The type of treatment is determined following a clinical examination, and the protocol is tailored to the anatomy of each patient. Hyaluronic acid injection in the ears is a quick, safe, and effective solution.

Managing these aesthetic concerns begins with eliminating aggravating factors: heavy earrings, skin dryness (by applying creams), side-sleeping at night, sun exposure, and smoking.

Injections d’acide hyaluronique pour les lobes des oreilles et les rides des oreilles

’Hyaluronic acid injections are the first-line treatment for sagging and wrinkled earlobes, as well as preauricular wrinkles.

It is possible to soften and sometimes erase wrinkles around the ears. The lobes are quickly redensified. Advanced stages and torn lobes require surgical management. Pierced ears are not a contraindication to the injection.

For wrinkle treatment, the hyaluronic acid used is a  Skinbooster , allowing for a very superficial injection. For treating sagging lobes, a firmer hyaluronic acid is used.

Price of ear rejuvenation

Ear rejuvenation is an increasingly common request.
Two medical techniques can be proposed depending on the indication : hyaluronic acid injections and biorevitalizing peel.
The price of a hyaluronic acid injection for the ears is 600 CHF per syringe. This treatment is indicated to restore volume to sagging earlobes or to smooth fine lines around the lobe attachment.
As a complement or alternative, the PRX-T33 peel — a no-peel treatment — can be used to improve skin quality and smooth superficial wrinkles on the ear area. The cost per session is 200 CHF.
The overall cost of ear treatment depends on the chosen protocol and the number of sessions or syringes required. A prior consultation helps define the appropriate strategy based on tissue quality and the patient’s expectations.

What are the risks and side effects associated with aesthetic ear medicine?

Side effects are minor and temporary: redness, swelling, bruising. 
It is important to seek the advice of an experienced doctor to minimise these risks.

Contraindications include: allergy to lidocaine, coagulation disorders, skin infections in the area to be treated, pregnancy and breast-feeding. 

Treatments available include hyaluronic acid injections to restore volume and smooth wrinkles, laser treatments for pigmentation and fine lines, and chemical peels to improve skin texture.

Hyaluronic acid injections are not very painful. An anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area to be treated before the injection.

Results last around twelve months, depending on the product used and the patient's metabolism. Maintenance sessions are required to maintain the results.

Medical otoplasty combines non-surgical techniques to improve the appearance of the ears. Ear plastic surgery is a surgical procedure. 
Some indications, such as torn lobes, are exclusively surgical.

Aesthetic ear medicine covers a range of non-surgical procedures designed to improve the appearance of the ears.

Hyaluronic acid injections are safe when carried out by a qualified and experienced doctor.
