An otoplasty, also known as a pinnaplasty, is an ear reshaping surgical procedure to correct prominent ears.
Ear pinning is performed if you are distressed about how far your ears stick out from your head if you feel they are too large in proportion to your head or if your ears are misshapen due to an injury or birth defect.
Otoplasty is usually carried out under local or general anesthetic and takes one to two hours to perform.
What are the benefits of an otoplasty?
The benefits of ear correction are that it can help you feel more comfortable with the appearance of your ears and you don’t suffer embarrassment or unwanted attention caused by protruding or irregular shaped ears.
