Ear Pinning: A Guide to Otoplasty Surgery

Do you avoid pulling your hair back or cutting your hair short because you don’t want to draw attention to your ears? If you are unhappy with the size, shape or look of your ears, it may be time to consider ear pinning.  Anyone with full grown ears (usually ages 5 and above) can undergo an otoplasty.

What is Ear Pinning or Otoplasty? 

This cosmetic ear surgery alters the shape, position or size of a person’s ear. An otoplasty procedure adjusts the angle of the ear closer to the head, minimizing the look of large or uneven ears so they are less prominent.
Common reasons people choose ear pinning:

• Shape of the ears
• Uneven ears
• Position of the ears

An increase in confidence can improve a person’s overall outlook on life. Patients with concerns about the appearance of their ears may gain added confidence after undergoing an ear pinning procedure.
