What Is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, commonly known as ear surgery or ear pinning, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the shape, size, or position of the ears to create a more balanced and natural appearance. This treatment is often chosen by patients who feel their ears are overly prominent, asymmetrical, or disproportionate to their facial features. At Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, our skilled surgeons customize otoplasty to meet each patient’s unique goals, helping both children and adults achieve greater confidence in their appearance. Contact our offices in Fayetteville, Newnan, or Stockbridge, GA today to schedule a consultation and learn how otoplasty can enhance your facial harmony.
How Is Otoplasty Performed?
Otoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure in about 1 – 2 hours under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and comfort level. During surgery, one of our plastic surgeons will make small incisions behind the ear to access the cartilage, allowing for reshaping, repositioning, or pinning the ears closer to the head. Excess skin or cartilage may be removed if needed to achieve the desired contour and balance. The incisions are then carefully closed with sutures, leaving scars discreetly hidden in the natural crease behind the ear. Most patients return home the same day and enjoy a noticeable improvement in ear appearance once healing is complete.
What Are the Benefits of Otoplasty?
Otoplasty offers both cosmetic and emotional benefits by creating ears that are more proportionate and balanced with the rest of the face. Benefits include:
- Reduces the appearance of overly prominent or protruding ears
- Improves facial symmetry and balance
- Corrects ear shape, size, or position for a natural look
- Leaves scars discreetly hidden behind the ears
- Provides long-lasting, permanent results
- Boosts self-confidence and comfort in social situations
- Suitable for both children and adults seeking improved ear appearance
Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center Reviews
Dr Gronka is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He listens and takes time to make sure are comfortable and heard.
I absolutely recommend Dr.Takintope Akinbiyi and the whole team at Advanced Aesthetics! As my surgeon I had (and have) complete trust and confidence in his abilities. As a person he is patient, well informed, and has great banter.I searched and had consults with 3 other surgeons before finding him and advanced aesthetics. Being picky and being patient is well worth it.The front desk is also simply amazing and really fast with communication. I even left my umbrella at the Stockbridge office during my consultation in February, and when I came back for my post-op appointment this week they still had it! I had completely forgotten about it. Everyone is so warm and kind. (It will restore your faith in humanity to encounter people while at work who are genuinely pleased to be there. Truly. The music in the Stockbridge office is also a high point, whoever has the aux is doing a great job)Shout out to the nurse who took my drains out and my pre-op nurse. I hope y'all's Starbucks order is never wrong, your check engine light never comes on, and that you get exactly what you want for your birthdays EVERY YEAR.I am healing really smoothy, my recovery has been well overseen and well informed. I felt completely safe and cared for from the consultation, to the pre-op room, operating room and the post-op visits.I desire no other surgeries but when it's time for filler or botox I will be returning to Advanced Aesthetics. Even though its a 45min-1hr drive from me.Thank you so much Dr.Akinbiyi. I am and always will be deeply appreciative of you helping me ( and others like me) to feel at peace in my body and safe in your presence. I hope you take an amazing vacation this year ( possibly several?) You deserve it.
I had my a breast reduction surgery performed by Dr. Akinbiyi in late April 2026. My procedure went so smooth. Dr. Akinbiyi is very thorough and explains everything clearly. I knew exactly what to expect and was supported during the whole process. I am 7 weeks post-op and I’m loving my results!!! 10/10 would definitely recommend!!!
The entire team is amazing. Great care from beginning to the end!
Amanda is truly an artist. She does such nice work. Highly recommend her.
