Macrotia surgery is a specific type of cosmetic ear reshaping procedure that helps to reduce the size of one’s ear. Ear pinning is a completely different type of cosmetic ear surgery (otoplasty) that simple pulls the ear closer to the head and is much more commonly performed. Macrotia surgery involves actually making the size of the ear smaller – primarily focusing on reducing the upper half of the ear. This is a great example of a recent macrotia scapha reduction patient of mine showing what her ears looked like prior to the surgery and then what they looked like 10 days following surgery.
