Otoplasty, more commonly known as ear pinning, is a relatively minor surgical procedure that helps minimize the appearance of protruding or oversized ears without having an adverse effect on hearing.
Otoplasty involves altering the external part of the ear by removing the necessary amount of skin and by plicating the ear’s cartilage to achieve the desired results.
