What is Ear Pinning?

Ear pinning, known medically as otoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to alter the shape, size, or position of the ears, making them more proportionate to the head and face. The procedure typically involves a small made behind the ear, allowing the surgeon to meticulously the ear’s cartilage, bending it closer to the head for a more subtle appearance. In some instances, a larger segment of cartilage may be removed to achieve a more naturally contoured look.

Ear pinning is often considered for both ears, even if only one ear seems to protrude, to ensure symmetry and balance post-surgery. Any resulting scar is discreetly located behind the ear and typically becomes less noticeable over time. The ear pinning surgery usually spans about two hours.

Ear pinning offers a solution to individuals about the of their ears. The ideal candidates are in good health and have a stable emotional outlook. This procedure is particularly suited to those who feel that their ears are a focal point of dissatisfaction, impacting their self-esteem or confidence in social situations. At Centre for Surgery, we recognise the unique nature of each individual’s concerns and aspirations — our approach to ear surgery is highly personalised. We invite those considering this procedure to engage in a thorough consultation at our clinic on Baker Street in Marylebone.

We believe the of a successful ear pinning lies in a thorough and personalised consultation. Our esteemed plastic surgeons prioritise as the first step. We encourage you to share your medical history, discuss your expectations, and describe your ideal outcome.

It’s essential to have a realistic perspective on what ear pinning surgery can accomplish. While our surgeons are committed to meeting your expectations, it’s important to understand that not all may be achievable through surgery.

Your surgeon will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for your ear pinning procedure, including advice on eating, drinking, and adjusting your intake of certain vitamins and medications.

Smokers are advised to quit smoking at least one month before the surgery and continue to abstain during the period. This step is vital for reducing the risk of complications and promoting a quicker, more effective healing process.

A consultant anaesthetist will be responsible for administering your anaesthetic and will remain by your side throughout the entire operation. Having a surgeon on call after surgery means that any concerns or queries you might have during recovery can be promptly addressed.

Recovering from ear surgery is a crucial phase that demands careful attention and adherence to your surgeon’s to ensure healing.

After the completion of your ear pinning surgery, you will be able to get up and move around a few hours post-operation. However, it’s essential to arrange for a friend or relative to pick you up from the clinic and stay with you for the first 24 hours.

It’s common to some degree of throbbing or aching in the ears during the initial days following surgery. Your surgeon will prescribe medication to manage any discomfort effectively.

We recommend taking a week off from work to rest and recover. During this period, it’s crucial to avoid any activities that could potentially bend the ears or disrupt the healing process.

Initially, your head will be wrapped in a bulky bandage immediately following surgery. After about a week, this bulky bandage will be replaced with a lighter dressing, akin to a headband. It is to wear this dressing as directed by your surgeon, especially at night.

The stitches used during ear pinning surgery are typically designed to dissolve on their own within about a week.

While ear pinning surgery results in successful outcomes, patients must be aware of the inherent risks. Common risks include blood clots (small ones may dissolve on their own, but larger ones may need to be removed with a needle), infection of the (usually treatable with antibiotics, but occasionally requiring surgical intervention), and suture complications (in rare circumstances a deep suture may come undone, potentially necessitating a repeat operation).

The expertise of the surgical team at Centre for Surgery significantly reduces the likelihood of complications. During pre-surgical consultations, our will discuss these potential risks and complications with you in detail.

During the initial consultation process, we emphasise understanding your goals and setting expectations. It’s crucial to acknowledge that the aim of ear surgery is significant improvement rather than absolute perfection. Natural beauty lies in the unique variations of the human form, and complete symmetry is both rare and, in many ways, unnatural.
