Discrete & Effective Ear Pinning Surgery

The ears are the frame of the face, so they play a noticeable role in our overall appearance. When ears are asymmetrical in size or placement, these differences can become very apparent. Patients who try to hide their ears tend to keep their hair long, wear hats or make other changes even if they may not match their preferred style. An Otoplasty – or cosmetic ear-pinning surgery – can help you get the balance you’ve always wanted!

What Is An Otoplasty?

Otoplasty, or ear pinning, is a surgical procedure designed to correct ears that stick too far out, the size of your ears and asymmetry. The otoplasty procedure can help you achieve an aesthetic balance that you’ll love, so you can focus on looking how you want to look instead of hiding.

Frequently Asked Questions

This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. The ear cartilage is remodeled and anchored closer to the head for a cleaner, tighter appearance. If one ear extends farther than the other, it is treated more aggressively so that both sides are equal after surgery. The incisions that are made are completely hidden behind the ears.

The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures by Dr. Michelle Sieffert once the necessary modifications have been made. Patients will receive post-operative instructions, including guidelines for care and recovery to ensure the greatest results. Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common after the surgery, but these symptoms typically subside within a few weeks.

Otoplasty is a straightforward procedure that results in minimal pain and downtime. After surgery, you will wear a compression band over your ears for about 4 weeks. You will apply an ointment to the area for about two weeks following your Otoplasty, and you may have activity restrictions. Dr. Sieffert will discuss a recovery process that is unique to you

We will see you in the office for your first follow-up appointment about one week after your procedure!

The Otoplasty procedure has a 96% Worth-It Rating according to realself.com — and for good reason. Ear pinning is a low-risk, high-reward procedure. After surgery, you are able to wear the hats and sunglasses you like, cut your hair short and swim without feeling nervous about showing your ears.

The cost of Otoplasty can range depending on your desired results. Unilateral ear surgery can start at around $3,000 and a bilateral repair starts at around $5,000. Dr. Sieffert’s surgical team will provide you with an exact quote for your unique treatment plan at the time of your consultation.

You May Be A Candidate For Ear Pinning Surgery

A great candidate is in good general health and has realistic expectations. The human body, including the ears, can never be 100% symmetrical, but you will see transformative results with an Otoplasty.

As with any elective cosmetic procedure, ideal ear-pinning surgery candidates should be in overall good health, have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure and understand the potential risks and benefits involved.
