Ear Pinning | Otoplasty

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning surgery, is designed to “pin back” prominent or oversized ears, enhancing facial balance and improving self-confidence. This surgery involves the precise removal and reshaping of ear cartilage and skin to enhance the shape, size, and positioning of the ears.

Goals of Otoplasty

1. Enhance ear shape and positioning
2. Improve facial proportions between the face and ears
3. Reduce or repair earlobe size or damage
4. Minimize ear projection for a more balanced look

Ideal Candidates for Otoplasty

• Individuals with prominent or protruding ears
• Those with asymmetrical ear cartilage folds
• Children 5 years and older
• Individuals in good physical health
• Non-smokers or those willing to refrain from smoking before and after surgery

Otoplasty Recovery

Patients can expect mild swelling and discomfort for a few days post-surgery. Protective dressings are applied to the ears immediately after surgery and should be kept on for several days. A headband should be worn for two weeks following the procedure to support proper healing. Most individuals resume daily activities within 1-2 weeks, though intense physical activity or contact sports should be avoided for approximately six weeks.
