Restore Facial Harmony with Customized Otoplasty
Ear Pinning (Otoplasty)
Otoplasty, commonly referred to as ear pinning, is a cosmetic surgery designed to correct protruding or overly large ears.
This procedure is often performed on children to prevent teasing but can be done at any age. The surgery reshapes and repositions the ears, creating a more balanced appearance. Incisions are placed discreetly behind the ears, minimizing visible scarring. The procedure typically lasts 1-2 hours and can be done under local or twilight anesthesia.

Areas of Use
Otoplasty addresses large or protruding ears, improving their size, shape, and symmetry. This surgery can create more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing ears, boosting confidence.
Expected Recovery
After otoplasty, most patients can return to regular activities within 3-7 days, though strenuous activities should be avoided for 6-8 weeks. Patients may experience mild to moderate pain, which is managed with oral medication. Dressings will be applied to the ears for about a week, and hearing may be temporarily muffled. Stitches dissolve on their own within 1-2 weeks, and patients are advised to sleep on their backs to avoid disrupting the healing process.
Duration of Effect
The results of otoplasty are typically permanent, giving patients long-lasting improvement in the shape and position of their ears. However, results may vary depending on individual factors such as skin type and healing process.
Ideal candidates
- Children: Typically over the age of five, when ears are fully developed. Many parents choose this surgery to prevent teasing or bullying.
- Adults: Any age group can benefit from otoplasty to correct large or protruding ears that affect their self-confidence.
