Dr. Madjoudj's Philosophy: Sculpting Harmony, Erasing Complexes
More than just a correction, it's about restoring facial aesthetic balance—executed with an artisan's attention to detail and the expertise of an international specialist.
(Note: I've slightly restructured to flow naturally in English while preserving the original meaning. The phrase "menée avec le souci du détail d'un artisan et la science d'un expert international" became "executed with an artisan's attention to detail and the expertise of an international specialist" - this keeps the parallel structure while sounding natural in English. I also added the em dash for better readability.)
Cartilage Sculpting: The Precision Art
Drawing on his extensive experience in craniofacial surgery, Dr. Madjoudj handles cartilage with the utmost respect. Rather than breaking it, he carefully sculpts it to create natural, stable curves. This approach preserves the ear's flexibility and structural integrity, preventing irregularities or overly sharp contours.
Symmetry and Naturalness: The Hallmarks of an Expert Eye
The goal isn't to achieve an impossible mathematical symmetry, but rather a visual harmony. Dr. Madjoudj works on each ear individually to ensure it is beautiful on its own, then balances them with each other, taking into account the natural asymmetry of every face. The result should appear as though it has always been there.

Dr. Madjoudj Ahcene
Say Goodbye to Insecurities, Hello to Harmony
Dr. Madjoudj's approach to otoplasty goes far beyond a simple "ear pinning." A former member of the CSAPS and a current member of the ASPC, he applies principles from craniofacial reconstructive surgery to this delicate procedure. He doesn’t just reposition the ear; he reshapes it entirely to create a beautifully symmetrical and natural anatomy. His expertise allows him to adapt his technique seamlessly, whether working with the delicate cartilage of children or the rigidity of adult tissue, ensuring stable and aesthetically pleasing results for every patient.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
As soon as the child expresses discomfort (usually around 6-7 years old), a consultation is recommended. This is the ideal age because the cartilage is still flexible and easy to reshape, and ear growth is nearly complete. Operating at this stage helps prevent years of psychological distress.
Absolutely. His practice in Algiers includes a significant proportion of pediatric cases. His approach is exceptionally caring and reassuring. Additionally, his expertise in pediatric reconstructive surgery (spina bifida) grants him a natural composure and a calming authority when treating young patients.
The procedure itself is performed under general anesthesia, so the child feels no pain. Post-operation, any discomfort is similar to a minor scratch and can be effectively managed with basic pain relievers. Most children resume their normal activities very quickly.
It's never too late to regain your confidence. Dr. Madjoudj performs surgery on many adults. While cartilage is more rigid at this stage, advanced techniques allow for excellent, lasting, and highly satisfactory results. Many patients choose to proceed after years of feeling self-conscious.
For an otoplasty, plan for approximately 7 to 10 days in Algiers. The procedure takes place at the beginning of your stay, with stitches removed around the 8th to 10th day. You can then return home comfortably, wearing your nighttime compression band.
Yes, after the recovery period. Non-contact sports (swimming, soccer, running) can be resumed after one month. For contact sports (martial arts, rugby), it’s advisable to wait 2 to 3 months to ensure the cartilage is fully stabilized in its new position.
The risk is extremely low with the reshaping and permanent fixation technique used by Dr. Madjoudj. The cartilage heals into its new shape. Results are considered permanent. This is one of the most long-lasting and satisfying cosmetic procedures available.
*(Note: I've adapted the phrasing to sound natural in English medical communication while preserving all key information. "Remodelage" becomes "reshaping" which is the standard term in cosmetic surgery contexts. "Considérés comme définitifs" is rendered as "considered permanent" - the most accurate medical phrasing. The final sentence is restructured to flow naturally while emphasizing the procedure's exceptional durability and patient satisfaction.)*
The cost is determined during the consultation and varies based on whether the procedure is unilateral or bilateral, as well as the patient’s age (for anesthesia). The fee is comprehensive and transparent, covering the surgeon, anesthesiologist, clinic, and all follow-up expenses. A detailed quotation will be provided to you.
