Formally known as ‘otoplasty’, ear pinning is a procedure that reshapes and decreases the size of a person’s ears. Although most people are born with normally sized ears, there are others who are bothered with theirs.
While this may not be a major medical concern, it can cause a great deal of low self-esteem, especially in children. Not only are the conscious of how they look, but they also have to go through constant teasing while in school or even at home. Of course, getting rude comments from other people is something you wouldn’t want to go through yourself, which is why you should consider ear pinning if you have a child with this condition.
Who are the best candidates?
Experts suggest that children who are 4-14 years old should undergo this particular procedure for optimum results. When a child turns four, his ears have completely grown and the sooner he goes through otoplasty, the less ridicule he will encounter.
Aside from kids, ear pinning is also becoming more popular for adults because it is simple and gives various aesthetic benefits. If you have always been uncomfortable about the size of your ears, then you might want to look into getting this said operation done. You will most likely find yourself with a higher self-esteem level and this could even be a life-altering step on your part.
Take the initial step
Ear pinning is also becoming a more frequently requested procedure for adults. If you have plans on undergoing this operation, be sure to consult a medical professional beforehand. More than that, it is important that you choose a skilled and board-certified surgeon who can give you the best results possible. When you carefully choose your surgeon, you will have natural-looking results and there will be fewer chances of complications, as well as disappointment. Keep in mind that even after an ear pinning procedure, your ears will not be perfectly symmetric, so be sure to have a realistic point of view of the entire process.
How is it done?
During the operation, your surgeon will make an incision somewhere at the back of your ear, which will enable him to pull your ear towards the head. Stitches are used to hold your ear in place and its new position. There are also times when cartilage is removed before the surgeon closes the incision and it is said that this method helps the ear from becoming closely pinned.
After the surgery, your head will be wrapped with a bandage and this will remain for about 2-4 days. Be sure to follow your surgeon’s instructions post-surgery because this will lead to better results and a faster recovery time. Pain is usually the only side effect of ear pinning.
As mentioned, it is vital for you to choose the right surgeon to get the job done precisely and successfully. Also, visit our cosmetic surgery recovery and cosmetic surgery after-care pages for more helpful tips.
