Ear deformities are unique, and reshaping will require careful analysis of the patient's ear. In the case of protruding ears, however, a common method of fixing the problem is called the pin-back procedure.

What Are The Indications for Ear Reshaping?

• Protruding ears
• Ear deformities
• Congenital ear defects

Am I A Candidate for Ear Reshaping?

Patients who have congenital ear deformities or protruding ears are good candidates for surgery.

What Can I Expect With The Procedure?

It is a challenge to make a natural looking ear. The cartilage in the ear is thin and softer than other kinds of cartilage in the body, while the skin is especially soft, flexible, and hairless. The shape of the final product must look like a real ear and replicate its complex 3-D shape as much as possible. To this effect, our expert surgeons often take pictures of the patient's healthy ear and attempt to mirror it.

What Are The Advantages of Ear Reshaping?

Most patients are thrilled with the results of ear reshaping surgery.

How Long Is The Procedure?

The procedure usually takes 2-4 hours.

How Long Will The Results of Ear Reshaping Last?

The results are permanent.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Generally one, but in complex cases, follow up treatments may be required.

Will I Have Pain?

As anesthesia is used, there is no pain during the procedure. A certain degree of swelling and bruising is normal. Cold compresses, as well as head elevation when lying down, will enhance healing and relieve discomfort. Mild discomfort is usually easily controlled with medications prescribed by your surgeon.

When Can I Go Back To Work Or School?

The healing process is usually 1-2 weeks but can be protracted depending on the nature of the procedure performed. Our support staff will help guide you along the way.
