For those affected, protruding or strongly asymmetrical ears are often a burden. Since the problem usually exists since birth and there is no chance of natural improvement, ear surgery is often performed in childhood. However, many adults who want to have their ears fitted in Berlin also make their way to a plastic and aesthetic surgeon. Different techniques are available depending on the age of the patient. As a general rule, a comprehensive analysis always precedes the recommendation of an operational correction.

Only then can a correction be made and the shape of the ear changed. At the Sinis Clinic Berlin all operations are performed like jug ear correction and ear reduction under microsurgical conditions.

In case of protruding ears or ear deformities, earplasty in adults, also known as otoplasty, is helpful as a small measure to eliminate larger problems in the patient’s appearance and self-perception. Although teasing is generally less common in adults, in such cases, an assessment of the patient’s own perception or looks is sufficient to justify an earplasty. Patients have often been toying with the idea for years. Personal circumstances, lack of time due to professional obligations, and also financial considerations can deter those affected from an operation at a young age. Nevertheless, most of the Berlin patients are younger adults or, in some cases, children.
Very young people benefit particulalry well from an earplasty. Teasing on the playground is not rare to hear from the affected persons or their parents. For this reason, health insurance companies are willing to pay for the treatment of children. In this situation it is worthwhile for parents to apply for a certificate together with the plastic surgeon in order to receive a health insurance rebate for their child’s ear pinning. Earplasty, also known as otoplasty, can correct protruding ears on babies and enable affected children to develop their personality without any obstacles.
Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning surgery, reconstructs the incorrectly or partially present cartilage framework of the ear, thus causing the ears to move inwards towards the skull. An incision is usually made behind the ear so that it cannot be seen from the front. Subsequently, the cartilage is reinforced and duplicated with appropriate non-resorbable sutures to perform the ear pinning plastic surgery. This way the ear contact plastic surgery can be performed successfully and with a permanently stable result. In rare cases the otic pit is also overpriced. This can also result in the ears sticking out. The protruding ear tilts so far forward that from the front it looks like a telephone. During th ear pinning plastic surgery in Berlin, the derotation of this cartilaginous scaffold must also be carried out in order to achieve a fully harmonious result.
The ear correction is carried out using the suture method, without incisions or scars. The ear is reshaped with the help of sutures inserted into the ear’s cartilage. In most cases, this technique leads to a satisfactory result in patients with protruding ears. Non-dissolving threads are used to pull the ears towards the head and hold them in position with a few stitches on the back of the ear muscles. If ear lobes protrude and the cartilage allows it, sutures can also be added there. As a rule, you are immediately able to resume social activities again after this minimally invasive method.
