Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty or “ear pinning”, is a procedure designed to reshape, reposition, or reduce the size of the ears for a more balanced and natural appearance.

You may be a good candidate for ear surgery if you are self-conscious about the size, shape, or position of your ears and want to improve their proportions and symmetry. Common reasons for otoplasty include ears that protrude too far from the head, asymmetry between the ears, misshapen or folded ear cartilage, or reconstructing the ears after injury or trauma.
Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have fully developed ears, which typically occurs by age five to six for children and at any age for adults. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will assess your ear structure, medical history, and aesthetic goals to develop a personalized surgical plan that aligns with your needs.
Otoplasty typically takes one to two hours, depending on the extent of correction needed. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia for adults or general anesthesia for children, and most patients go home the same day after surgery.

Most patients return to light activities within a few days, with full recovery taking about six weeks.
