Non-Surgical Otoplasty Procedure Information
Treatment Areas
- Prominent or protruding ears (one or both sides)
- Reshaping of the anti-helical fold
Common Names
- Non-surgical otoplasty
- Ear pinning
- Incisionless ear reshaping
MOA
Non-surgical otoplasty is a procedure aimed to reshape prominent ears without an open incision. Under local anaesthetic, fine sutures are placed through small (around 2 mm) puncture points to reshape the anti-helical fold or to draw the ear closer to the head. The sutures hold the reshaped cartilage in position. It can be an alternative to conventional (surgical) otoplasty for carefully selected patients, and outcomes vary between individuals.
