Otoplasty (ear pinning) is an operation that aims to reshape the ear cartilage and bring the ear closer to the head when the angle between the ear and the head is greater than normal. It can be performed starting in childhood and generally provides permanent, natural-looking results.
People whose angle between the ear and the head is noticeably greater than normal.
Children whose ear cartilage has reached a certain level of maturity, as well as adults.
People who have a congenital or acquired deformity in the shape of the ear.
A personalized plan is created by evaluating the structure and angle of the ear cartilage.
Under general or local anesthesia, the cartilage is reshaped through an incision made behind the ear; it usually takes 1–2 hours.
Same-day discharge is possible; recovery is monitored with regular check-ups.
Mild pain and swelling may occur; a protective bandage is worn for a few days.
An elastic band is recommended for nighttime use; sports and contact activities are avoided.
Results are permanent, and a natural ear contour is preserved.
Because ear cartilage development is largely complete, it can generally be performed from preschool age; the exact age is determined at the examination.
You can usually return to daily life within a few days to 1 week.
Because the incision is hidden behind the ear, the scar is generally not visible from the front.
