Otoplasty and Earlobe Reduction

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD answers: Ear surgery to reduce earlobe size?

I have large ears and earlobes. I know the ear pinning would take care of most of the protrusion problem, and thus make my ears look smaller. But is anything done with the earlobes? Also, if this is possible, how much would it cost?

Otoplasty can be combined with an earlobe reduction at the time of surgery or thereafter in clinic. Earlobe reduction is an outpatient procedure and is often performed in the office. Scars should be hidden along the preauricular skin crease.
