At Flower Mound Plastic Surgery, we understand that feeling confident in your appearance is more than skin deep. For individuals who feel self-conscious about the shape, size, or prominence of their ears, otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning, offers a subtle yet transformative solution. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sanderson is highly experienced in otoplasty and commonly performs this procedure to help patients achieve natural, balanced results.
What Is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the ears. Most often, it’s performed to “pin back” ears that stick out more than desired, but it can also correct other concerns like ear asymmetry or deformities caused by injury or birth defects.
This procedure is especially popular among children and teens, but adults of all ages can benefit from otoplasty. Whether you’ve been self-conscious for years or simply want a more balanced profile, otoplasty can deliver natural, lasting results.
Why Now?
As the weather warms up and we shift into spring and summer, more people are pulling their hair up into ponytails, buns, and braids. But if you’ve been hiding your ears for years, that carefree style might come with hesitation. Otoplasty can help you feel confident and comfortable going bare—with your hair up and your confidence on full display.
Imagine stepping into the sunny season feeling completely secure in your own skin. Whether you’re headed to the pool, a wedding, or simply running errands, there’s something empowering about not thinking twice about the appearance of your ears.
What to Expect
Otoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and needs. The procedure usually takes about 1–2 hours, and patients return home the same day.
Recovery is relatively quick. You’ll wear a headband or bandage for a few days to support healing, and most patients return to normal activities within a week. Best of all, the results are permanent—once healing is complete, you can enjoy a more balanced look for life.
