What is Ear Pinning (Otoplasty/Pinnaplasty)?
Otoplasty or Pinnaplasty (also known as ear pinning) is a procedure that entails the reshaping of prominent or protruding ears by removing cartilage from behind the ears. The ears are pinned back to a position closer to the head for aesthetic purposes. Protruding ears filter no physical harm to the body.
A Good Candidate for Ear Pinning (Otoplasty/Pinnaplasty)
Children between the ages of 6 and 14 are good candidates for the ear pinning procedure because the pliability of cartilage before adulthood benefits achieving the best results.
However, adults who are self-conscious about their ears can also find comfort from this procedure. Self -confidence beats the mild side-effects of this procedure and makes the surgery worth enduring.
Ear Pinning (Otoplasty/Pinnaplasty) Procedure
The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon, who will discuss with you the details of the procedure, the choices of anesthesia and aid you to determine the best method for achieving your desired end results.
After a local or general anesthesia is administered, the surgeon will make a small incision behind each ear where cartilage will be removed.
The ears are repositioned and pinned back with either dissolving stitches that will dissolve in approximately 4 days or regular stitches that require the patient return to the hospital or to a doctor’s office to have the stitches removed one to two weeks after the surgery.
The methods of this procedure may vary by each doctor’s preference. This procedure is outpatient, which means that the patient can return home the same day.
Average Duration of Ear Pinning Surgery: 1-2 hours
Risks and Side Effects of Ear Pinning (Otoplasty/Pinnaplasty)
Potential risks and side effects associated with ear pinning surgery are infection, allergic reaction to the anesthesia, numbness, bleeding, and asymmetrical ears.
Recovery from Ear Pinning (Otoplasty/Pinnaplasty)
After the procedure, a medication for pain relief will be prescribed to the patient, but often times an over-the-counter medication, such as ibuprofen is sufficient enough to alleviate the pain.
Children who endure the ear pinning procedure can typically return to school within 5-7 days. The child’s teacher, as well as the child, should be advised that the child is to refrain from sports and activity on the playground for about one month following the surgery to avoid possible complications.
Adults can generally returning to work with 5-7 days. Aches and pains should subside within a few days; however the ears may feel sensitive for a few weeks. The small scar that is left behind each ear will gradually fade over time.
Results of Ear Pinning (Otoplasty/Pinnaplasty)
After surgery, it may be necessary to wear a bandage for 1-3 days around the head, protecting the ears and preventing movement. After the bandage is removed, complete results are immediately apparent, and set to last forever.
