You may be a candidate for ear pinning (otoplasty) if you have ears that stick out too far from the side of the head. You may also want to have an otoplasty procedure if your ears have an unusual or undesirable shape.
Intended Results of Ear Shaping Surgery
The goal of otoplasty is to create ears that have normal folds and shape with a normal level of protrusion from the side of the head.
Ear Surgery Procedure Information
Otoplasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. The ears are usually bandaged with a head band type dressing for 1-3 days. Initial mild postoperative discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. The procedure is appropriate beginning at age 5 or 6 or at any time thereafter. The ears usually look “normal” within 10-20 days. Usually, a head band is worn 2-3 weeks to protect the ears while sleeping. Contact sports should be avoided for about a month.
Any facial procedure that is desired or appropriate would enhance the result.
