Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty) Beverly Hills, CA | Michael Omidi, MD Plastic Surgery

About Otoplasty

Otoplasty is a cosmetic ear surgery that improves the shape and positioning of the ears. Surgeons can tailor their techniques to correct a variety of issues, with the most common procedure focusing on prominent ears that protrude too far from the skull.

What Are Prominent Ears?

Prominent ears are characterized by a distinctive forward-facing position and unique structural differences. In normally developed ears, the antihelix exhibits a y-shaped fold, while prominent ears often have a flattened upper portion and differently angled ear lobes.
