Ear correction surgery or pinning of the ears is medically known as otoplasty or pinnaplasty. This is a cosmetic procedure to help people who consider their ears to be too prominent. The condition is sometimes referred to as bat ears. Ear correction surgery or ear reshaping may be desired by people of all ages, and can be suitable for children from around the age of 5 through to adults. In many cases, the size, shape and lie of the ears are inherited, and a trend can be apparent across other family members. Ear correction surgery or ear reduction may be desired by people with prominent ears that lack a normal fold, or when one ear is more prominent than the other. In addition to its aesthetic benefits, ear correction surgery can also boost self-confidence, eliminate possible bullying and teasing and so have a positive effect on a patient’s life.
Luckily, ear surgery at Aesthetic Shapes, Karachi, Pakistan will release you from all such troubles. Ear surgery can greatly improve the shape, proportion and placement of the ear. It can correct birth defects in the ear structure that become obvious with age. It is also a corrective surgery for defects caused by trauma.
Otoplasty is an outpatient surgical procedure that modifies the cartilage of the ears to achieve a more natural shape and position. Here’s how it works:
We start with a full consultation, assessing ear size, shape, and placement. Based on your needs—cosmetic, corrective, or both—we create a surgical plan that restores symmetry, reduces projection, or corrects abnormalities while maintaining a natural look.
Under local anesthesia (or general anesthesia for younger patients), a small incision is made behind the ear. The cartilage is then reshaped, repositioned, or pinned closer to the head. In some cases, internal sutures are used to maintain the new structure with no visible scarring.
Most patients resume regular activities within a few days. A soft bandage or headband may be worn temporarily to support healing and protect the ears. Swelling and bruising fade quickly, and final results are visible in just a few weeks—lasting a lifetime with proper care.
The outcome? Ears that no longer draw attention—just a balanced, confident facial appearance that feels right.
Ear surgery may be a perfect option for you if:
Ear Surgery is suitable for all genders and age groups—from children dealing with teasing, to adults who have lived years feeling self-conscious. It’s a powerful, low-risk procedure with high-impact results.
Children’s ears carry on growing until around the age of 5, corrective surgery may not be considered until the ears are of full size and developed. Your child’s emotional state needs to also be considered; bullying and teasing at school can be very upsetting and it is best they fully understand why the procedure is being carried out and they can see that ear correction will be a benefit.
Most patients will take one week off work following ear surgery.
Ear correction surgery is a relatively minor procedure and although the ears may be slightly numb following surgery, the operation is relatively painless.
The results of ear surgery in the form of natural-looking, proportional ears and improved balance of ears and face becomes visible immediately after surgery. Ear surgeries are being done successfully around the world.
