Ears
Reshape prominent ears for a more subtle look
Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape and reposition the ears. This surgery is typically sought by individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their ears due to factors such as prominence (“lop ear deformity”), asymmetry, or congenital issues. Otoplasty aims to correct these by altering the size, shape, or positioning of the ears, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial profile.
Key Benefits of Ear Pinning
- Enhance Your Ears
Bring prominent ears closer to the head, attaining a more subtle and pleasing facial profile. - Improve Psychological Well-Being
Alleviate issues with ear appearance that can lead to low self-esteem, as well as teasing and bullying. - Give Your Ears a Natural Look
Correct issues with ear aesthetics that can arise from trauma or birth defects.
Persana Tip
Although the primary goal of otoplasty is to reduce an overly protruding ear, this procedure can sometimes be overdone, causing the ears to lay so flat that they appear stuck to the head, a condition referred to as “telephone pole deformity.” Precisely tailoring the aesthetic positioning during surgery is critical to achieving the best results.
