What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, or ear pinning surgery, is a procedure to reshape, reposition, or reduce the size of the ears. It’s commonly chosen by people who feel their ears stick out too much or aren’t symmetrical.
This surgery can be life-changing for both adults and children, helping to improve self-confidence by creating a more balanced, natural ear shape. Whether you’ve been self-conscious about your ears for years or just want a subtle refinement, our expert surgeons are here to guide you.
What Happens During Surgery?
Otoplasty is usually done under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic and involves:
- Making a small incision behind the ear, where scars will be well-hidden.
- Reshaping or removing cartilage to create a more natural ear position.
- Using internal stitches to hold the new shape securely in place.
- Closing the incisions with fine sutures.
The surgery does not affect hearing—it’s purely about the shape and position of the ears.
