Ear pinning: surgical vs. non-surgical and approx. costs?

Question

Dean Fardo, MD · Answer

There are some "non-surgical" options that are rearly done but surgical correction is the mainstay of treatment for the vast majority of plastic surgeons.  Surgery, (otoplasty),  is a minimally invasive, low risk procedure that has little downtime and generally very good results.  I would recommend the surgical route.

Anthony Corrado, DO · Answer

Surgical Otoplasty is required for prominent ears.  Otoplasty involves creating an antihelical fold with permanent Mustarde sutures.  It may also involve partial cartilage removal if need be.  There are currently no minimally invasive methods to correct prominent ears.  I suggest following up with a board certified surgeon specializing in facial cosmetic surgery.  Good Luck!

William Portuese, MD · Answer

In our practice, we perform a surgical otoplasty on the ears.  This involves placement of some small cuts in the ear cartilage and using permanent sutures to re-create the anti--helical fold.   The  Otoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure.  There is an additional fee to perform the surgery under general anesthesia.  For more information and many before and after otoplasty examples, please see the link and the video below

There isn’t a non-surgical method. However, there is a difference between the open, invasive traditional methods and the minimally invasive Merck stitch method. The latter costs 2920 euros for both ears with the inventor of the method in Germany.
