Embarking on a journey toward greater self-confidence can begin with the decision to refine aspects of your appearance that may make you feel self-conscious. At Marin Aesthetics, we specialize in otoplasty/ear-pinning, an intricate procedure crafted to reshape protruding ears and restore facial balance. Below , we explore the intricacies of ear pinning, shedding light on its procedure, advantages, and explain why Marin Aesthetics is the premier choice for achieving the best results.

Understanding Otoplasty Pinning

Otoplasty, also identified as ear pinning or ear reshaping surgery, aims to improve protruding or asymmetrical ears by suturing and restructuring the cartilage and positioning the ears closer to the head . This procedure is suitable for individuals of all ages, including children and adults, who may feel self-conscious or unhappy with the appearance of their ears. 

The Procedure: What to Anticipate

Preliminary Consultation

Before beginning otoplasty, at Marin Aesthetics, patients undergo a thorough consultation with Dr. Marin. During this consultation, patients can discuss their aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns they may have regarding the procedure.

Surgical Process

Otoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Marin begins by making discreet incisions behind the ear to access the underlying cartilage. The cartilage is subsequently sculpted and reshaped to attain the desired appearance, and sutures are used to secure the ear in its new position.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following otoplasty pinning, patients are provided with comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal recovery. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common in the initial days after surgery and can be managed with prescribed medication and donning a supportive headband as instructed by Dr. Marin. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and protect their ears from trauma during the recovery period.

Advantages of Otoplasty Pinning

Otoplasty pinning offers numerous benefits beyond aesthetic enhancement, including:

  • Improved self-confidence and self-esteem
  • Enhanced facial balance and symmetry
  • Correction of congenital ear abnormalities
  • Greater comfort in personal and professional interactions

TO OUR MARIN AESTHETICS PATIENTS:

In light of the state wide restrictions on non-essential businesses to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, we are rescheduling all of our elective appointments until the global circumstances improve. Our necessary post-operative appointments will be made, as needed, to address immediate surgical concerns such as suture removal and acute postoperative issues. All non-acute follow up appointments, fillers and Botox will need to be postponed until after the quarantine period mid April. Our office will reach out to all patients who need to be rescheduled.

We will be offering new patient virtual consultations online and via Skype that can be scheduled through our website or by emailing info@marinaesthetics.com. Also, we will offer follow-up appointments in the same manner to help manage our patients’ concerns while still respecting the need for social distancing.

We appreciate all of your understanding during these difficult times for all of us.

Stay safe,

Dr. Main and the Marin Aesthetics Team
