Otoplasty, commonly referred to as ear pinning, is a surgical procedure to reshape and reposition the ears closer to the head. It addresses concerns such as prominent ears, asymmetry, or deformities, creating a more harmonious balance with the face. This procedure is tailored to each patient’s needs, offering subtle, natural-looking results.

These procedures are ideal for:

Children or adults with prominent or uneven ears

Anyone who feels self-conscious about the appearance of their ears or earlobes

How Are These Procedures Performed?

Both ear pinning and earlobe repair are outpatient procedures performed with precision and care:
