Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty)

Protruding ears are a common trait and are usually genetic in nature. In most cases, those with prominent ears that “stick out” have nothing wrong with their ears or hearing, it is only an aesthetic issue. While the ears may be healthy, protruding ears can impact the appearance and self-confidence of the individual. At LM Medical NYC, we offer ear pinning surgery, or otoplasty, to remedy protruding ears at our clinic in Manhattan.

Anyone who grew up with protruding ears has most likely experienced teasing or unkind comments from others about their appearance. Children can be especially unkind when another child looks different. Even as an adult, those with prominent ears may feel self-conscious, trying to hide their ears beneath hats, scarves or hair. Otoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that can flatten the ears closer to the scalp to reduce their prominent appearance and boost self-confidence.

Surgical Protruding Ear Correction

Otoplasty can be performed in a variety of ways to provide protruding ear correction. The type of surgical alteration depends on the extent of protrusion, the size of the ear and other factors. Ears that turn out can be “pinned” closer to the head with a fairly simple surgery to reduce their prominence. Some patients may need some ear tissue removed to draw the ear closer to the scalp or ear reshaping to improve the overall ear aesthetics.

Dr. Lesley Rabach is a talented, double board certified facial plastic surgeon who can perform various types of otoplasty, or ear pinning surgery. If you have protruding or prominent ears and want to explore surgical options to change their appearance, contact us at LM Medical NYC. We have a state-of-the-art medical facility located on 5th Avenue in Greenwich Village. Call today to schedule your ear pinning surgery consultation.

  • Dr. Morgan Rabach and her staff provide top tier care and excellent service. Dr. Rabach is well-versed in the latest research. She made lots of time to discuss my dermatological history (what’s worked, what hasn’t worked, what hasn’t been tried) and all the available treatments to find the best path forward. She didn’t settle - pushing to make sure I got the best results possible. Would recommend without any reservations!

  • I have been seeing both Dr. Lesley & Dr. Morgan now for almost about three years now. Each time is better than the last. I trust them for natural results & they always deliver. What I value most is that they are never pushy! Always open, honest, and they are just overall good people.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and so helpful. The wait times are very short, the space is clean and modern, and they're very quick to respond to questions over the phone or email. I needed a detailed receipt for my insurance and they gave me two different versions until my insurance was satisfied. The doctors are friendly, laid back, and really listen which is awesome. Would highly recommend!!
