What Is Ear Pinning?
Ear pinning, also known as otoplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure in which one of our cosmetic surgeons reshapes and repositions the ears to address deformities, reduce their prominence, and improve overall facial symmetry. By making small incisions behind the ears and reshaping the cartilage, our surgeons can secure the ears closer to the patient’s head while preserving their natural structure. This procedure is most commonly performed on children and teens who may be self-conscious about protruding ears, but many adults elect to have the procedure as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I A Good Candidate For Ear Pinning?
You might be a good candidate for ear pinning surgery if you feel self-conscious about having ears that protrude noticeably or are asymmetrical. This procedure is ideal for children (5 years of age and older), teens, and adults who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are unhappy with the prominence of their ears. During your complimentary consultation, either Dr. Tyrone or Dr. Mateo will evaluate your concerns and aesthetic goals to determine if you’re a good candidate for ear pinning!
How Much Is Ear Pinning Surgery?
The cost of ear pinning surgery can vary widely depending on a number of factors. During your consultation, our team can provide you with a detailed estimate on the price of your personalized ear pinning procedure.
Are The Results Of Ear Pinning Surgery Permanent?
Yes! Once healed, the results of an ear pinning procedure are considered permanent. Although your ears’ appearance may change slightly as they age naturally, they will maintain their new shape and position for a lifetime. Ear pinning is a quick and minimally invasive procedure that provides long-lasting results!
How Long Does Recovery Take?
Most patients are able to return to work, school, and light physical activities about a week after surgery. Typically, a protective bandage is worn for the first few days, followed by a headband at night to promote proper healing and prevent irritation. Following your procedure, our cosmetic surgery team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure a quick and healthy recovery process.
Does Insurance Cover Ear Pinning?
Since ear pinning is considered to be an elective cosmetic procedure, it is not typically covered by insurance. Fortunately, our plastic surgery practice offers a number of flexible financing options to help make cosmetic treatments more affordable and accessible!
