About Otoplasty

Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning, is a surgical procedure used to correct prominent ears that stick out from the side of the head. The most common cause of prominent ears is lack of an antihelical fold, normally present just inside the rim of the ear. Alternatively, with aging the ears may become enlarged or elongated by the effects of gravity and skin stretching. Otoplasty can be used to correct the shape of aging ears. Learn more about Otoplasty.
