Otoplasty/Ear Surgery

Otoplasty, or ear pinning, corrects protruding ears by moving the external ears closer to the head. This minor surgery fixes ears that ‘stick-out’. It typically is performed in children ages 6 to 21, but may also be performed during adulthood. For school-aged children, ridicule from protruding ears and be vicious. A simple office otoplasty can avoid future taunting or cruel joking.

Otoplasty Objectives

  • Correct protruding ears or minor deformities of the external ears.
  • Recreate the normal folds of the external ears.
  • Have a beneficial effect on a child’s self-esteem.
