Otoplasty, cosmetic ear surgery, or ear pinning is performed to address overly large or protuberant ears, most commonly ears that stick out from the head. Otoplasty is performed on children and adults alike to help reshape and pin the ears closer to the scalp to reduce their visibility and streamline the facial profile. Whether you are an adult in a business office setting or have a child in school, this is a simple and straightforward procedure that requires little downtime or discomfort; however, the results are truly life-changing.
