Les oreilles font partie des zones du visage qui vieillissent progressivement, bien qu’elles soient souvent négligées. Avec le temps, la peau devient plus fine, les lobes perdent en volume, des rides peuvent apparaître sur le pavillon et des taches pigmentaires liées au soleil se développent. Ces modifications sont favorisées par le vieillissement cutané, la diminution du collagène, les expositions solaires répétées et le port de boucles d’oreilles lourdes.
La médecine esthétique permet aujourd’hui de traiter les principaux signes du vieillissement des oreilles sans chirurgie. Les injections d’acide hyaluronique restaurent le volume des lobes lorsqu’ils deviennent flasques ou allongés. Les Skinboosters améliorent durablement l’hydratation et la qualité de la peau. Les peelings et les lasers permettent de corriger les taches pigmentaires, les irrégularités du teint et les rides superficielles. À Genève, ces traitements sont souvent associés pour le rajeunissement des oreilles.

Just like the face, the ears undergo changes due to aging. The lobes become lax and wrinkled, and preauricular wrinkles appear.
These changes can create complexes, to the point that some women do not dare show their ears, try to hide them with their hair, and no longer wear earrings.
The factors responsible for changes in the ears include :
Hyaluronic acid injection for the ears, also known as non-surgical otoplasty, is an effective procedure to correct aesthetic imperfections of the ears without surgery.
The type of treatment offered is decided following a clinical examination, and the protocol is adapted to each patient’s anatomy.
Management of these imperfections primarily involves avoiding aggravating factors: wearing heavy earrings, dry skin, sleeping on the side, sun exposure, smoking.
Hyaluronic acid injections are the reference treatment for correcting sagging or wrinkled earlobes as well as preauricular wrinkles.
They help reduce, or even eliminate, certain wrinkles around the ear and restore volume to the lobes. However, very advanced sagging or torn lobes require surgical management.
Pierced ears are not a contraindication for injections.
The choice of hyaluronic acid depends on the problem to be treated:
for wrinkles, a product like Skinbooster is used, suitable for very superficial injections; to reshape and tighten the lobes, a firmer hyaluronic acid is preferred, providing more support.
The PRX-T33 peeling is an innovative and effective peeling technique for treating fine lines and wrinkles on the ears. This treatment works by stimulating skin regeneration without visible peeling. It helps improve skin quality, reduce fine lines, and restore radiance. It can be an interesting option for patients who want to treat signs of aging on the ears effectively and minimally invasively.
The result is visible immediately and continues to improve for about three weeks. It lasts for one year. During the first two days, the area may show slight swelling and sometimes small bruises, which disappear spontaneously. On palpation, the product may be noticeable for a week, but it is not visible.
Results vary depending on the patient’s needs and the technique used:
Hyaluronic acid injection in the ears is an effective and safe solution to correct ear aging, with natural and long-lasting results.
Ear rejuvenation is a growing demand.
Two medical techniques can be offered depending on the indication: hyaluronic acid injection and biorevitalizing peeling.
The price of a hyaluronic acid injection for the ears is 600 CHF per syringe. This treatment is indicated to restore volume to sagging lobes or smooth localized fine lines around the lobe attachment.
In addition or as an alternative, the PRX-T33 peeling can be performed to improve skin quality and smooth superficial fine lines on the ear skin. The price of a session is 250 CHF.
The overall cost of ear treatment depends on the chosen protocol and the number of sessions or syringes required. A preliminary consultation allows determining the strategy adapted to tissue quality and the patient’s expectations.
Side effects are minor and temporary: redness, swelling, bruising.
It is important to consult an experienced doctor to minimize them.
Contraindications include: allergy to lidocaine, coagulation disorders, skin infections in the area to be treated, pregnancy and breast-feeding.
The available treatments are: hyaluronic acid injections to restore volume and smooth wrinkles, laser treatments for pigmentation and fine lines, chemical peels to improve skin quality.
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 encompasses non-surgical techniques to improve the appearance of the ears. Plastic ear surgery is a surgical procedure.
Certain indications, such as torn earlobes, are exclusively in the surgical domain.
Aesthetic ear medicine covers a range of non-surgical procedures designed to improve the appearance of the ears.
Hyaluronic acid injections are safe when performed by a trained and experienced doctor.
