Ear Pinning (Otoplasty) in Scottsdale, AZ | Weinrach Plastic Surgery: Dr. Jonathan Weinrach

Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Surgery

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the shape, proportion, and position of ears. For individuals with protruding, misshapen, or traumatized ears, this procedure can significantly enhance facial harmony and boost self-confidence.

What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a specialized plastic surgery technique focusing on the outer ear's structural modifications. The procedure can correct:

• Overly protruding ears
• Abnormal ear folds
• Large or damaged earlobes
• Congenital ear deformities

Surgical Approach

Dr. Jonathan Weinrach performs otoplasty using precise techniques that ensure minimal visible scarring. Most incisions are strategically placed behind the ear, making them virtually undetectable. The procedure typically involves reshaping cartilage to create a more balanced ear appearance.

Candidates for Otoplasty

Otoplasty is suitable for patients as young as six years old and can be performed on adults seeking ear correction. Ideal candidates are individuals who:

• Have realistic expectations
• Are in good overall health
• Do not smoke
• Experience self-consciousness about ear appearance

Recovery and Results

Recovery from otoplasty is typically straightforward. Patients can expect to return to normal activities within one week, with full healing completed in approximately six weeks. Results are immediate and can provide lasting improvements in facial aesthetics and personal confidence.

Pricing and Consultation

Otoplasty pricing varies depending on individual surgical requirements. Bilateral procedures range from $6,500 to $9,100, with unilateral procedures starting at $5,600.
