PINNAPLASTY OR OTOPLASTY OR SETTING BACK PROMINENT EARS
Pinnaplasty is an operation to adjust the shape of the cartilage within the ear to create the missing folds and allow the ear to lie closer to the side of the head.
What is involved?
Approximately 1 to 2% of the population in UK considers their ears to be too prominent. The operation is carried out from behind the ears; a small scar is left close to the groove between the ear and the side of the head. This procedure can be carried out under local or general anesthetic.

This procedure is usually carried at early age of life.
