Ear Pinning Photo Gallery

Patient who desired to reduce the protrusion of her ears.  An otoplasty (ear-pinning) procedure was performed to recreate the natural folds of the ears to help set back both ears and provide for a very natural appearing outcome.

Patient with lop ear where the upper aspect of the ears protrude secondary to an ill-defined anithelical fold. Seen here before and after otoplasty to address the lop ear. Profile view of the ear shown to demonstrate the goal of defining the antihelical fold to create natural appearing outcome.

Before and after otoplasty (ear-pinning) for a female

Before and after otoplasty for a male patient with protruding ears. Common finding in that the upper half of the ears are flopping forward creating protrusion. This case was more challenging in that the patient shaves his head. The procedure is done in a manner to have the most natural appearance with well-hidden incisions behind the ears.
