    FAQs About Otoplasty Surgery
    1.What is otoplasty (ear pinning) surgery?

    Otoplasty, or ear pinning, is a surgical procedure designed to correct protruding or misshapen ears by repositioning them closer to the head and reshaping the cartilage for a more balanced appearance.

    Ideal candidates for otoplasty are individuals who have protruding or asymmetrical ears, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. Children can undergo otoplasty as early as age 5, while adults can also benefit from the procedure.

    Risks may include infection, bleeding, changes in ear sensation, asymmetry, and scarring. We will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.

    Preparation involves following pre-operative instructions, avoiding certain medications, arranging for post-surgery transportation, and planning for recovery time. Detailed instructions will be provided to ensure you are well-prepared.

    During otoplasty, you will be under local or general anesthesia. The procedure involves making incisions behind the ear, reshaping the cartilage, and repositioning the ear. The surgery typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours.
