Ear pinning (or otoplasty) is a highly effective surgical procedure that corrects prominent ears by setting them closer to the head, changing their apparent size and shape.
This procedure is most commonly performed in children between the ages of five and 14, but is also performed on adults as well, even in adults in their 60s.
