Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Solutions

Unconventionally shaped ears or protruding ears can significantly impact an individual's self-esteem. Otoplasty, or ear pinning surgery, offers a transformative solution to restore facial harmony and boost confidence.

What is Otoplasty?

Ear surgery corrects the size and placement of an individual's ears, making them more proportional to the head and face. Typically performed on children ages 4-14, otoplasty can also benefit adults seeking aesthetic improvements.
