What is otoplasty?
Otoplasty, sometimes referred to as pinnaplasty or ear pinning surgery, is a procedure that adjusts the shape, size or position of the ears. Often performed to reduce how far the ears stick out from the head, otoplasty may also reshape ears that are asymmetrical or misshapen due to genetics, injury or previous surgery.
Otoplasty is commonly sought by adults who have long felt self-conscious and teens who may be experiencing teasing. At Symmetry Clinic, otoplasty in London is performed using advanced techniques that minimise scarring and aim for natural, lasting results.

Benefits of Otoplasty Surgery by a Specialist
Otoplasty may be a relatively quick procedure, but its effects can be transformative for many patients. The benefits include:
- Improved facial symmetry by repositioning prominent ears closer to the head
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results
- Greater confidence in appearance and relief from years of self-consciousness
- Minimal scarring, with incisions placed discreetly behind the ear
- Suitable for teens and adults
- Day-case surgery with a quick recovery
At Symmetry Clinic, we take a conservative approach, aiming to preserve individuality while improving overall balance and appearance.

What to Expect: From First Visit to Final Results
Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at either our Harley Street or Shard clinic. Mr Sandeep Paun, our consultant, will assess your ear shape, symmetry, and position, and discuss your goals and expectations. Based on your needs, he will create a personalised surgical plan.
Surgery
Ear pinning surgery is carried out as a day-case procedure. Adults typically have the procedure under local anaesthetic, while teens may require general anaesthetic. A small incision is made behind the ear to reshape and reposition the cartilage. Stitches are used to hold the new position, with the scar hidden in the crease behind the ear.
Recovery
Most patients return home the same day. A protective headband or dressing may be worn for a few days to support healing. Swelling and mild discomfort are common in the first few days, but most people resume normal activities within a week. We provide full aftercare and follow-up to ensure your recovery is smooth and your results settle well.
Results
You will see the improvement in your ear shape and position almost immediately, although final results develop over several weeks as swelling fades. In most cases, the outcome is permanent and requires no further surgery.
