Ear Surgery Benefits

Cosmetic otoplasty, or so-called ear pinning, is a surgical procedure that can improve the appearance of the ears with minimal scarring. Ears that stick out or are too large can be a source of emotional distress, in both children and adults. In children, this can lead to teasing from other children and problems with self-esteem. The improved appearance provided by otoplasty can make the child feel much more self-confident.

Because the external ears play a role in hearing, a completely missing or very misshapen ear can affect hearing, but this is not common. Surgery in these cases can improve both the appearance and function of the ear.
