Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Otoplasty, commonly referred to as ear pinning, corrects the size or placement of an individual’s ears. Otoplasty is generally performed on children ages of 4-14, as the ears finish growing by 4, and otoplasty can prevent adolescent ridicule, but the procedure is also performed on adults. Good otoplasty makes the ears more proportional to the size and shape of the head and face.
