About Ear Reshaping Surgery
At Leeds Private Hospital, we understand how the shape and position of your ears can impact your confidence. Whether you’re looking for a solution for protruding ears, asymmetry, or another aesthetic concern, our ear pinning (otoplasty) procedure is designed to help you feel comfortable and confident in your appearance.
Ear pinning, also known as otoplasty, is a specialised cosmetic procedure designed to reshape, reposition or resize the ears. This surgery is most commonly performed to correct prominent ears, create symmetry, or address congenital deformities.
The goal is to achieve a natural look that enhances your facial harmony without drawing attention to the ears. Ear pinning can provide lasting benefits, improving not just physical appearance but also self-esteem and confidence.

The Benefits of Ear Pinning Surgery
Otoplasty offers a range of benefits:
Boost in Confidence
Many individuals with prominent or asymmetrical ears feel self-conscious about their appearance. Otoplasty provides a harmonious look that lets your natural beauty shine through, freeing you from the need to hide your ears or worry about others noticing them.
Minimal Downtime
The procedure typically involves a short recovery period. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a week, making it a practical option for those with busy schedules.
Permanent Results
Once performed, the changes made during otoplasty are permanent. The procedure offers a lifelong improvement in the appearance of your ears, ensuring that your investment in yourself pays off for years to come.
Customisable Solutions
Every ear is unique, and so are your aesthetic goals. Otoplasty is tailored to suit your individual needs, ensuring results that align with your expectations and enhance your natural features.

What to Expect
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalised consultation with one of our expert surgeons. During this session, we’ll take the time to understand your goals, assess your ear structure, and discuss the most suitable surgical approach. We’ll also provide a detailed overview of the procedure, recovery process, and expected outcomes, ensuring you’re fully informed every step of the way.
Surgery Day
Ear pinning surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs and age. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours and involves:
Incisions: Discreet incisions are made behind the ear, ensuring minimal visible scarring.
Reshaping: Excess cartilage and skin are removed, and the ear is sculpted to achieve the desired shape.
Repositioning: The ear is brought closer to the head, secured with internal stitches for a natural look.
Recovery Process
Following surgery, patients may experience mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. A protective bandage is applied initially, followed by a lighter dressing as healing progresses. Most patients can return to work or other daily activities within a week, although strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.

Types of ear surgery
Ear Reduction Surgery
Ear reduction surgery is designed to reduce the size of disproportionately large ears, a condition medically referred to as macrotia.
Oversized ears can disrupt facial harmony, often leading to self-consciousness or social anxiety. By surgically reducing the ear’s dimensions, this procedure restores balance and boosts confidence.
Ear Correction Surgery
Ear correction, or reconstructive ear surgery, uses procedures to restore or reshape ears affected by congenital deformities, trauma, or infections.
This includes treatment for structural irregularities and damage from external injuries.
Pinnaplasty (Ear Pinning Surgery)
Pinnaplasty, often referred to as ear pinning, is one of the most common otoplasty procedures. It is performed to correct protruding ears or asymmetry, helping patients achieve a natural, balanced appearance.
