What is Ear Pinning?

Ear pinning is a surgical option for correcting ears that protrude more than two centimeters from the back of the head. It must be performed when the ears have finished growing. Usually, patients in their late teens or older are the best candidates for otoplasty. Earlobe pinning may be a good option for you if you wish to correct any of the following aesthetic concerns:

  • Prominent or protruding ears
  • Asymmetrical ears
  • Misshapen ears

What Are the Benefits of Ear Pinning?

Big ears or ears that stick out are often a topic of bullying, teasing, and taunting for children. Otoplasty can correct the ear size, shape, and position, restoring balance and harmony among the features. The best time for children to undergo the procedure is once their ears are fully grown, and typically over winter or summer break, when they will have ample opportunity to heal and recover. For adults, undergoing otoplasty can help provide a more positive self-image and recenter the gaze on the eyes and the smile. Patients undergoing the surgery find that they have more hairstyle options and can enjoy wearing a wider array of jewelry and clothing styles. Ear surgery can also be performed for patients who have experienced illness, injury, or trauma to the ears.
