What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty or Pinnaplasty, also known as ear correction or reshaping surgery, is an ear cosmetic surgery. Ear surgery provides patients with the desired ear shape and size. It can be claimed that many people possess misshapen ears; ears stick out far from the head, large or small ears, and ears with missing cartilage. Under these conditions, otoplasty saves people from ear irregularities and achieves a more aesthetically pleasing and proportionate appearance. The surgeon may use techniques such as ear pinning, reduction, and augmentation during the otoplasty procedure, performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on otoplasty’s combination with other surgeries such as rhinoplasty.

Different Types of Otoplasty
Ear Pinning (Prominent Ear Correction)
Ear pinning, also known as prominent ear correction or pinnaplasty, is a surgical procedure that addresses ears that stick out prominently from the head. It involves reshaping the cartilage of the ear and repositioning it closer to the head. The surgeon typically makes an incision on the back of the ear or within the natural creases to access the cartilage. They may remove or fold excess cartilage to create a more natural contour. Sutures are then used to secure the ear in its new position.
Step-by-Step Otoplasty in Turkey
- Consultation: As with any other surgery, the first step of the procedure is the consultation. The surgeon will review the patient's medical history during the consultation and do the necessary pre-op tests. Throughout the consultation, patients discuss their goals, expectations and concerns; the surgeon will assess their ears' shape, size, and position and discuss the best approach to achieve the desired results.
- Anesthesia: After the consultation, anesthesia is applied just before the surgery starts.
- Incision Placement: The surgeon will realize the incision behind the ear, along the natural crease where the ear meets the head. This placement helps conceal any potential scarring.
- Reshaping the Ear: The surgeon will use various techniques to reshape the ear cartilage. Depending on the patients' needs and expectations, this may involve scoring, ear folding, or removing excess cartilage to achieve the desired shape and position.
- Repositioning the Ears: If necessary, the surgeon will adjust the position of the ears closer to the head. This is done by suturing the cartilage to maintain the new place.
- Closing the Incisions: The surgeon will close the incisions using fine, dissolvable sutures once the desired reshaping and repositioning are achieved.
