What is ear reshaping?
Ear reshaping, also known as otoplasty or ear pinning, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to enhance the appearance of the ears. It can address various concerns such as reducing the size of larger ears, correcting ear shape and fixing deformities or injuries.
Typically performed on children aged 4 to 6, otoplasty can also be done on adults. The procedure involved modifying the ear cartilage and securing it in place with stitches for permanent results.
Additionally, other ear contouring techniques can be used to reduce ear size (macrotia), fix misshapen ear cartilage and improve overall ear aessthetics.
