Ear Reshaping (Otoplasty/ Pinnaplasty)

Prominent ear correction, also known as otoplasty or pinnaplasty, is a very common operation in the UK and can help patients to feel more confidence and comfortable in the appearance of their ears. It is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears.

Most surgeons try to perform the surgery when the child is at an early age to reduce bullying and teasing at school. Pinnaplasty on adults is also performed and there are no additional risks in an older patient.

FAQs

Most surgeons recommend that parents stay alert to their child’s feelings about protruding ears; don’t insist on the surgery until your child wants the change. Children who feel uncomfortable about their ears and want the surgery are generally more cooperative during the process and happier with the outcome. In the initial meeting, your surgeon will evaluate your child’s condition, or your’s if you are considering surgery for yourself, and recommend the most effective technique. He or she will also give you specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery.
