Ear pinning is a surgical procedure that is performed in order to make the ears closer to the sides of the head. The risks associated with this type of plastic surgery are minimal, as well as the scarring, which is barely seen because it is behind in the ear.

Ear reconstruction surgery is cosmetic based and therefore, changes the way the ear looks, e.g., changes the size, changes the shape, makes the ears more proportional, etc. It is even possible to completely restructure the ear or to create a prosthetic ear if needed.
