Otoplasty or Ear Pinning at Ohio State

Kids as young as 5 or 6 and adults of any age who are unhappy with protruding ears can have otoplasty to have their ears pinned back closer to their head. Stephen Nogan, MD, a facial plastic surgeon at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center explains the procedure, which can be done as an outpatient procedure in the office or with anesthesia in an operating room, depending on the patient needs. He also shares expectations for care of the ears after the procedure.
