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.

  2. Local or General Anaesthetic – The procedure is usually done under local anaesthesia with sedation.
  3. Small Incision Behind the Ear – This allows for reshaping or repositioning of cartilage.
  4. Reshaping & Suturing – The ear is adjusted into a natural, balanced position.
  5. Quick Recovery – You can go home the same day with minimal discomfort.

The procedure is quick, effective, and leaves minimal scarring, as incisions are hidden behind the ear.
