Otoplasty (Ear Reshaping Surgery)

Ears that sit naturally. Confidence that lasts a lifetime. Otoplasty (ear pinning or ear reshaping surgery) is a safe, highly effective procedure that repositions or reshapes the ears for a more balanced, natural appearance. It is one of the few cosmetic procedures routinely performed in children as well as adults.

What Can

Otoplasty Correct? Prominent ears that stick out from the head (the most common concern) Ears that are asymmetric in size, shape, or position Ear deformities present from birth (congenital ear deformities) Large, stretched, or torn earlobes Damage from ear gauging or heavy earrings Deformity from trauma or previous surgery Addressing prominent ears in childhood can prevent years of self-consciousness. The ideal age for otoplasty in children is 5-7 years — when ear cartilage is sufficiently developed but before the school years bring social awareness. Early intervention is safe, effective, and life-changing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the results of otoplasty permanent? Yes. Once the cartilage heals in its new position, the results are lifelong. Re-pinning or revision is very rarely needed. Will there be visible scars? Incisions are placed behind the ear in the natural crease — completely hidden in normal viewing. Even when the hair is tied up, scars are rarely visible.

Can adults have otoplasty ? Absolutely. There is no upper age limit. Adults undergo the procedure under local anaesthesia with sedation, usually as a day case.
