Introduction
Otoplasty — also known as ear reshaping surgery or ear pinning — is a cosmetic procedure that improves the position, shape, or size of the ears. It is commonly performed to correct protruding ears, reshape cartilage, or enhance overall facial symmetry.
Whether for aesthetic confidence or functional reconstruction, otoplasty offers long-lasting, natural results.
