Face Ear Pinning Surgery

Surgery of the ear, also known as otoplasty, is a procedure that helps reduce protrusion of the ear away from the head. Most often, ear pinning surgery is performed on children between the ages of four to fourteen. Ears that "stick out" are often the source of teasing and ridicule in young children. This teasing can have a devastating effect on the child's psyche.

Ear pinning surgery is called otoplasty, and it can change the shape, position or proportion of the ear.

What is otoplasty

Why you want otoplasty

Ear pinning surgery is used to correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth, becomes apparent as a child develops, or is caused by injury or earlier surgery. Otoplasty is used to correct a rare condition called marcrotia (overly large ears) or protruding ears, not associated with hearing loss. This surgery is appropriate for adults, teens and children over the age of 5.
