Otoplasty (Ear Pinning)
Ear pinning, or otoplasty, is a surgical procedure that brings protruding ears closer to the head or reduces their size. Large, protruding or irregularly shaped ears can compromise self-confidence at any age. At any early age, children may get teased, and in adulthood, protruding ears may give an adult a more juvenile appearance.
Otoplasty is performed by Dr. Richard Balikian for children after five years of age. Often protruding ears are not the result of bulging ears, but rather, floppy, weak ears. Special techniques allow Dr. Balikian not only to pin back the ears, but reshape the ear cartilage into a natural discreet shape, giving it the strength to maintain its position over time.

Computerized imaging is utilized during consultation with Dr. Balikian to help set goals and expectations to create the natural look and end result that you and Dr. Balikian want to accomplish.
