Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning, is a surgical procedure designed to correct protruding ears by bringing them closer to the head. This procedure can be performed on both children and adults, typically from age 5 and up. It's one of the most common cosmetic procedures for children and can significantly improve self-confidence and reduce teasing or self-consciousness about prominent ears.
