What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning or ear reshaping surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size, shape, or position of the ears. It’s commonly used to correct protruding ears, asymmetrical ear shapes, oversized ears, or to repair torn or stretched earlobes caused by trauma or heavy earrings.
Many people choose ear correction surgery to achieve a more natural, balanced facial appearance and boost their self-confidence. Whether you’re looking to set back prominent ears, reshape uneven contours, or repair earlobe damage, otoplasty offers a personalized, minimally invasive solution.
With natural-looking results and a short recovery period, otoplasty is ideal for individuals in good health with realistic expectations. At your free consultation, our board-certified surgeons will create a custom treatment plan designed to help you reach your aesthetic goals safely and effectively.
What Happens During Surgery?
Otoplasty is generally performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the procedure’s complexity and the patient’s preference.
1. Incision Placement
To minimize visible scarring, the surgeon makes discreet incisions behind the ear or within the natural folds of the ear.
2. Cartilage Reshaping
The underlying ear cartilage is sculpted or repositioned to achieve the desired contour and angle. Techniques may include folding, trimming, or suturing the cartilage for a more natural appearance.
3. Earlobe Correction (if needed)
If earlobe repair is required, small incisions are made to correct tears or stretched lobes, restoring a more proportional look.
4. Suturing the Incisions
The incisions are carefully closed using fine sutures to support healing and reduce scarring.
5. Protective Bandaging
A light dressing or headband is applied to protect the ears and help maintain their new position during the healing process.
This minimally invasive procedure is performed with precision to ensure patient comfort and long-lasting, natural-looking results.
