I am a doctor at a big multi-profile hospital. When my husband started having serious problems with blood vessels, we decided to seek the help of specialists with extended experience in invasive and non-invasive surgeries. We chose Kardiolita because of the best price and quality ratio. Today, with our health problems behind us, we can say that we have made the right choice, and our expectations were exceeded greatly. Personal contact between the patient and the doctors, unfortunately, is rare in most world clinics. We are extremely thankful to the managers and the staff of the clinic for giving us an excellent living environment, food and medical services. Special thanks to all doctors - for their world-class professionalism. Trust me, the high quality medical services we received would not have been possible even at my colleagues, even though they would have been doing their best. With serious health problems, I highly recommend to go to Kardiolita. We are truly thankful to all the people there.

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
