Otoplasty (ear pinning) in Indiana
Prominent ears may be treated by surgical means. An
incision is made behind the ear and the cartilage of the ear is
scored and permanent stitches are placed in the cartilage which
acts to decrease the projection of the ears. The procedure may
be done under local anesthesia with IV sedation or under general
anesthesia. No overnight hospital stay is required. Children
with prominent ears may undergo otoplasty surgery once the ear
has grown to its maximum size which occurs by age 8.
