Ear Pinning

Prominent ears are easily corrected by an ear pinning procedure. The procedure, known as otoplasty can be carried out when young but is equally effective later in life. In addition to bringing the ears closer to the head, surgery may be performed to reduce the size and reshape the ears by removing and sculpting the cartilage.

 

Otoplasty can also be an option if there is some asymmetry between the size or prominence of the ears.

 

The procedure should take only 2 or 3 hours with a recovery time of about a week. Results are long lasting, only effected by continuing development of the ear cartilage.

Ballinderry Clinic, Saint Francis Private Hospital, Mullingar Otoplasty: Protruding ears (“Bat Ears”) is an inherited condition and can cause significant embarrassment especially if a person is constantly teased. In all people the ears are not completely symmetrical and it is usual for one ear to be further out than the other. There are two ways in which the ears can protrude more than usual: 1. The inner part of the ear flap (concha) might be unusually long or large.2. The angle between the concha and the outer part of the ear flap (helix) might not be properly formed so the helix extends sideways rather than going backwards (the usual position). Often both of the above conditions exist in severe cases of protruding ears. The purpose of an ear reshape operation (otoplasty) is to reduce the distance between the side of the head and the protruding part of the ear to about 15mm (1/2”). Ear reshape (otoplasty) can also (a) reduce the size and projection of the concha if it is too big and/or (b) establish the normal angle between the concha and the helix. It is not usually possible to reduce the size of very large ears that have a normal shape due to the complex shape of the ear. The Dublin Cosmetic Surgery Centre has successfully performed ear reshapes on hundreds of women and men over the last 20 years.
