Otoplasty is a simple cosmetic procedure performed to minimize dark circles under the eyes. Thanks to this surgery it is possible to reduce their size and thus adjust them according to the patient’s structure.
Although it is a simple procedure, its cost may vary according to some factors such as the type of Otoplasty, the place where it is performed, etc. Next, we will show you all the details about the price of Otoplasty in Colombia.
What is the price of Otoplasty in Colombia?
The price of Otoplasty in Colombia varies between $3.500.000 and $5.500.00. Within this price are contemplated some previous expenses, the operation and also the postoperative assistance. This cost includes:
Operating Room
This surgery must be performed in a certified operating room with all the necessary equipment. The price of the room, equipment, sterilization and fees are always included in the total cost of the surgery.
Anesthesia

Follow-up appointments
The cost of painkillers, antibiotics, dressings and antibiotics are usually independent of the cost of the otoplasty. In some cases the cost of follow-up appointments may be included in the cost of the operation.
As for the assessment appointment, in some cases it is free, but this will depend largely on the clinic and the specialist performing the surgery.
What are the factors that can increase the cost of Otoplasty?
The value of Otoplasty may increase depending on the diagnosis. It may vary depending on the type of surgery, that is, if it is a bilateral or unilateral Otoplasty, the time of duration of the intervention and the complexity of it.

Finally, other factors that can increase the cost of the intervention are the city where the surgery is performed, as well as the prestige of the clinic and the experience of the surgeon.
