Good candidates for ear pinning surgery include both children (around five years old, when the ear cartilage stabilizes) and adults who wish to correct the position of one or both ears. You may be an ideal candidate if you experience any of the following:
-
Prominent or protruding ears that detract from facial balance
-
Dissatisfaction with a previous ear reconstruction or otoplasty
-
Discomfort due to ears' size or position, especially during contact sports
-
Ear conditions stemming from birth defects, trauma, or ear reconstruction needs
