When it comes to facial plastic surgery in Utah, one of the most common procedures for both children and adults is otoplasty—also known as ear pinning surgery. This procedure is designed to reshape, reposition, or reduce the size of the ears to create a more balanced and natural appearance. At Aspen Facial Plastics, Dr. Amir Allak specializes in achieving results that look subtle, refined, and natural—helping patients feel more confident about their appearance.
What Is Otoplasty (Ear Pinning Surgery)?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects ears that stick out too far, appear overly large, or have irregular shapes due to genetics or injury. While prominent ears don’t affect hearing, they can often cause self-consciousness or teasing in children and adults alike.
Ear pinning surgery in Utah typically involves:
- Reshaping cartilage to bring the ears closer to the head.
- Reducing the size of the ear if they appear overly large.
- Correcting ear symmetry for a more balanced facial appearance.
The surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia (depending on the patient’s age and preference), and most patients go home the same day. Recovery is usually quick, with most individuals resuming normal activities within a week.
How Does Otoplasty Work?
During the procedure, Dr. Amir Allak makes a small incision behind the ear to access the cartilage. He then reshapes or repositions the cartilage to achieve a natural contour before closing the incision with sutures hidden in the natural folds of the ear.
The results are immediate, and once healing is complete, patients enjoy a more proportional, balanced look without the distraction of prominent or asymmetrical ears.
