What is Male Otoplasty?
Male otoplasty (ear pinning surgery) is a straightforward procedure designed to reshape, reposition, or resize the ears for a more balanced and proportionate look. It’s a popular choice for men in Ireland who feel self-conscious about prominent or asymmetrical ears.
- Pins back ears that stick out too much
- Corrects asymmetry between the ears
- Reshapes large or misshapen ears
- Boosts confidence & self-image
The goal is to create a natural, masculine look without making the ears appear overly flat or unnatural.
Signs You May Benefit from Male Otoplasty
- Prominent or protruding ears
- Asymmetrical ears affecting facial balance
- Large or misshapen ears
- Lack of confidence due to ear shape
- Desire for a more proportionate, natural appearance
Otoplasty is suitable for all ages, including men who’ve been self-conscious about their ears since childhood.
