Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning surgery, corrects the appearance of protruding, misshapen and oversized ears by repositioning, reshaping, or resizing the ears. The Otoplasty procedure has positive aesthetic and psychological benefits, helping the patient gain confidence and create a more balanced and symmetrical facial appearance.
This surgery is done primarily under anesthesia, although some patients may be given the option of local anesthesia bade on the complexity of their specific surgery. The procedure involves incisions made either to the back of the ears or inside the folds of the ear to gain access to the ear cartilage. This technique allows the cartilage to be removed or manipulated to reshape and reposition the ear.
The incisions are closed with stitches to secure the ears in their new position. A bandage dressing is placed after surgery to protect the newly shaped ears and is worn for approximately one week.

An ear keloid is raised and firm scar tissue that develops after an injury to your ear, most commonly after ear piercings. Keloids can be itchy, painful and can grow as well as impact your emotional wellbeing by their appearance. This repair is done as a local procedure with stitches removed a week later. A compression earring is required to be worn at least for a year to help prevent recurrence and minimize re-growth post surgery.
The earlobe repair addresses torn and stretched earlobes caused by heavy earrings, injury, or trauma. This repair is done under local anesthesia with stitches removed a week later. Re-piercing of the ear is done 3 months later.
