Ear Surgery or Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure to enhance the appearance of a person’s ears. The procedure itself takes many forms, and may involve the reduction of over-prominent ears, the reshaping of bends in the cartilage to achieve aesthetic results, even the repositioning of the ears closer to the head (also known as ear pinning).

In an Otoplasty, an incision is usually made in the back of the ears to expose the ear cartilage, following of which a combination of moving, reshaping, adding, or removing of structural ear elements are involved. Because of the incision area, there is usually little or no visible scarring.
