A type of otoplasty known as ear pinning, involves the removal or reshaping of the cartilage in the cup of the ear, and is an outpatient procedure that can be completed in two to four hours. It can be performed on both adults and children, and does not interfere with hearing.

Otoplasty is an effective solution for repositioning the ears so that they can lie flatter, which changes the perceived shape of the person’s face and improves their overall appearance. Using incisions that are hidden behind the ear, otoplasty is also used to reduce and improve the appearance of excessively large ears and congenital ear abnormalities with minimal visible scarring. Compare the otoplasty before and after photos to see how much of a difference this procedure can make.

Dr. Sedgh assesses your face in person and explains the technique he would use, because the right plan depends on your bone structure, skin and healing, not on a standard template.

This model was unhappy with mild-moderate protrusion of her ears, limiting her hair styles. An otoplasty procedure under three hours accomplished this while maintaining a very natural and symmetrical contour to the both ears. The pictures are taken at 6 months showing the final and her already settled results.

With any surgery patients worry about scars post-surgically, though with an otoplasty Dr. Sedgh meticulously makes the incision in the fold of the ear to give a tucked away scar, along with great results.

The ears are a major aesthetic feature of the face and can effect the general appearance of an individual. With otoplasty, the prominence of the ears can be addressed through bringing the ears closer to the head, reducing the appearance of eye-catching prominent ears.

3 months post. 28F. Otoplasty is often a 1.5-2 hour office procedure, with one of the relatively easier recoveries in the world of cosmetic facial surgeries. This young lady always wanted to have her ears pinned, and here only 3 months following this short office procedure, she does not have to restrict her hairstyle anymore!

19F, 3 months post. No matter how prominent or asymmetrical the ears are, they often can be contoured using only suture techniques without the need to remove any cartilage. Doctor Sedgh’s philosophy is to preserve any structure if possible, which minimizes the risk and pain from the surgery and often achieves more natural-looking results. This is a great example of only suture technique, transformative otoplasty.

6 weeks post-op, 34 M. This patient is 6 weeks post-op from his Bilateral Otoplasty and we couldn’t be happier with his results. We were able to address 2 major problems, one being his anti-helix that was not bent properly, and second his conchal cartilage that was too prominent. We started with creating a tighter bend in the anti-helix and then were able to pin back the conchal of the ear to get it closer to the head. Combining both of those techniques have left us with a natural contour and symmetrical look to both ears.
