Who Considers Ear Pinning (Otoplasty)?
Parents who notice prominent ears in their children often wonder if ear pinning (otoplasty) would be appropriate for their child. The ear deformity is often noticed at a young age and the ear appears to ‘stick out’ from the head and not fold back gracefully. In other children there can be abnormal folds or extra bits of skin and cartilage. Adults who are self conscious about the appearance and contour of their ears also consider otoplasty.
