Ear Pinning Surgery Ear pinning or pinnaplasty, is the surgical procedure to reshape your ear or ears to make them less prominent.
We have a team of Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons who offer tailored operations to suit individual needs including ear pinning and ear correction surgery.
If you are considering pinnaplasty you can book a consultation with one of our Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons to gain a full understanding of ear pinning and a chance to raise any concerns you may have with the procedure.
What happens during a pinnaplasty?
During pinnaplasty the surgeon uses stitches to hold back the ear into its new position. Sometimes cartilage may be removed, shaped or folded to reshape the ear or ears to make them less prominent.
If you would like to find out more, you can book a consultation with one of our Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons to discuss possible surgery.
The most suitable type of surgery for you will be discussed at your appointments with your surgeon.
Before considering surgery it is also important to be aware that all surgical procedures carries a certain amount of risk and it is important that you understand the risks involved with pinnaplasty specifically.

The Main Treatment guide price covers your stay in hospital as long as it is clinically necessary. This guide price includes all pre-operative tests that the Hospital requires to ensure you are fit for surgery, the fees for your consultant and anaesthetist to perform the procedure, and any nursing care, medication and food after. However, if your consultant advises that you need a different prosthesis, or you request a non standard item, then the guide price for your treatment will alter. This will be made clear to you before you go ahead with your treatment and will become the ‘fixed price’. The payment for the main treatment is due in full, ten days prior to your admission date.
Post discharge care following your discharge from Hospital is included in your fixed price care package. This price includes a single post-op consultant consultation and physiotherapy visits (up to the number stated), removal of any stitches, change of dressings and any medication you need to take home with you.

About your recovery:
What is the recovery time for a pinnaplasty?
Pinnaplasty recovery times and the speed with which you can return to everyday activities can vary depending on the individual and the type of surgery carried out.
With ear pinning you should be able to go home the same day or the day after, and if you are required to stay over night there is no impact on the price you pay for your treatment.
Be sure to discuss your return to work following ear pinning with your Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.
It is important that you follow the advice the hospital and your consultant provide you.
As part of our aftercare you will be provided with a direct telephone number to our nurses department should you experience any difficulties or concerns when you are discharged.
