Our Process
The surgical procedure known as otoplasty, or ear pinning in Tucson, is performed to correct ears that stick out. Usually, the procedure requires creating small cuts behind the ear to reach the cartilage.
The cartilage is subsequently modified or folded, and any surplus skin is removed if needed. Once repositioned, the ears are secured with sutures. The process is commonly done with the use of local anesthesia and typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to finish.

Surgeons often perform otoplasty once the ear nears adult size—typically in late childhood—but teens and adults also achieve excellent results. The real decision point isn’t a birthday; it’s maturity. If a patient can participate in the process and follow simple after-care (like wearing a headband), they’re usually ready. Adults can pursue ear pinning in Tucson at any time.
No. An otoplasty reshapes the outer ear (cartilage and skin) to bring it into better balance with your face. It doesn’t affect the ear canal or middle/inner ear, where hearing occurs. What many patients notice after surgery is different—less fixation on their ears and more confidence in photos and social settings.
Revision is possible. We’ll review what was done, examine cartilage strength, scar position, and suture placement, then map a plan—sometimes restoring missed contours, sometimes releasing an over-tight fold. Revisions are precise work, and we’ll be candid about what’s achievable.
Cartilage reshaping and internal sutures make results durable for the long term. Normal aging continues, but properly planned otoplasty doesn’t “spring back.” Protect your ears during early healing—especially during sleep and exercise—to lock in the final shape.
Our skilled surgeon uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Incisions are typically made behind the ear, where they are less noticeable as they heal.
