Ear Pinning

Ear pinning is a type of otoplasty, one of the external ear surgeries. This procedure permanently positions the ears closer to the head, reducing the amount of protruding ears and correcting imbalance or asymmetry. Usually performed by plastic surgeons, this procedure may require general anesthesia. The healing process usually takes several weeks.

Plastic surgeons in Easteworld Turkey are specialty trained and certified and specialize exclusively in cosmetic surgery of the face, ears and neck.

Ear surgeons at Esteworld have expert knowledge of the cartilage structure of the ears and possess the artistic skill, precise approach and sharp attention to detail that is required for ear pinning surgery.

What is Ear Pinning?

Ear pinning is a surgical intervention to make the ears less prominent by bringing them closer to the head. Usually surgeons perform this type of surgery on children, usually around the age of 5 or 6, but sometimes adults may also opt for ear correction surgery for cosmetic purposes.

Ear fixation is a type of otoplasty surgery that is performed on the part of the ear that is visible from the outside. Otoplasty is a surgical procedure in which ears can be reconstructed where they are missing, misshapen or damaged, or can reduce the size of large ears.
