At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, we provide advanced cosmetic and corrective ear surgery, including pinnaplasty (also known as otoplasty), to reshape and reposition prominent or misshapen ears. Our ENT and facial plastic surgery team ensures safe, precise, and aesthetically pleasing results for both children and adults.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Pinnaplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects protruding or misshapen ears by modifying the cartilage structure. It is commonly performed to reduce ear prominence and bring the ears closer to the head for a more natural appearance.

ANESTHESIA & PREPARATION

The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation for adults or general anesthesia for children. Preoperative consultation includes a detailed ear examination and discussion of desired aesthetic outcomes.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

An incision is made behind the ear to access and reshape the cartilage. The surgeon may remove, fold, or stitch the cartilage to achieve the desired contour and position. The incision is closed with fine sutures, and the scar is well hidden in the natural crease behind the ear.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACHES

In suitable cases, non-invasive suture-only techniques can be used to correct mild prominence without extensive cartilage removal, offering quicker recovery and minimal scarring.

CLOSURE & RECOVERY

A head bandage is applied post-surgery to support healing and maintain ear position. Patients are usually discharged the same day and advised to wear a protective headband at night for a few weeks.

POST-SURGICAL CARE

Post-operative instructions include keeping the ears dry, avoiding pressure, and attending scheduled follow-up appointments. Mild swelling or bruising is expected and resolves within a few days. Full results are visible once healing is complete.

CONCLUSION

At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, pinnaplasty is performed with precision, care, and attention to detail. We help patients achieve improved ear aesthetics and confidence through safe and effective surgical correction.
