Otoplasty, or ear pinning, is a surgical procedure designed to correct the shape, size, or prominence of the ears. It offers a transformative option for individuals whose ears protrude significantly or are asymmetrical, often boosting self-confidence in both children and adults. While the change may seem subtle, the impact can be profound, helping patients feel more comfortable with their appearance and reducing the emotional strain caused by unwanted attention.
Whether correcting ears that stick out, reshaping cartilage, or restoring symmetry after injury, otoplasty ensures results that harmonize naturally with the patient’s face.
The Otoplasty Procedure: What to Expect
The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and preferences. Small incisions are made behind the ears, providing access to the cartilage, which is then sculpted or pinned back closer to the head. Dissolvable sutures are used to secure the new position, leaving minimal, well-hidden scars. Otoplasty generally takes 1-2 hours, and patients can go home the same day.
Recovery and Results
After surgery, patients may experience mild swelling or discomfort, which usually resolves within a few days. A protective bandage is worn initially, followed by a headband to keep the ears in place during healing. Most patients can resume normal activities, including school or work, within a week. Results are typically visible immediately, but the final shape continues to refine over the following months. Once complete, the improvements are permanent.
Our personalized approach ensures that each otoplasty is customized to meet the patient’s aesthetic goals, resulting in subtle, natural improvements that complement their unique features. With minimal downtime, hidden incisions, and lifelong results, otoplasty provides a meaningful way to enhance both appearance and confidence. Otoplasty isn’t just about changing how you look—it’s about how you feel. By restoring balance and proportion to the ears, this procedure helps you focus on what matters most: feeling comfortable in your own skin.
