Otoplasty, often called ear pinning, is the medical term for cosmetic ear surgery. The goal for cosmetic ear surgery is to create a natural shape, protrusion, and size to the ear while maintaining optimal facial proportions.
Otoplasty can be used to correct ears that:
- ‘Stick out’ noticeably far from the sides of the head
- Are smaller or larger than usual
- Have been misshapen due to injury or developmental issues
