I had otoplasty surgery in 2004 and overall its good but the tips of my ears on both sides stick out. Is it possible to have just the tips of my ears pinned/sculpted back on each ear?

Answer: Otoplasty and pinning back just the tips of the ears
This is totally possible and it will entail just creating the bend at the top of the ears. This can be done with most of the incision behind the ear and sometimes at the very top. I would go to someone really experienced in this and someone that will really listen to your needs and be patient with you in all of these aspects.

Answer: Mini-Otoplasty for tip of ears
Select areas of ears can be pinned back using cartilage suture techniques. It is not rare after many otoplasties to see the most northern (tip of the ear) or the most southern (earlobe) part of the ears to protrude more than the middle. When these areas have not been adequately addressed during the initial procedure, they can be corrected secondarily through a more limited otoplasty procedure. Often these can be done under local anesthesia in the office through a small incision on the back of the ears.
