At Eos Rejuvenation, we know that when your ears feel out of place—too big, too far out, or just not the shape you'd like—it can affect how you feel about your whole face. If you've spent years trying to hide your ears under your hair or avoiding certain hairstyles, you're not alone.
Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning or cosmetic ear surgery, helps bring balance back to your features. Dr. Nima Shemirani and Dr. Keon Parsa perform this plastic surgery in our Beverly Hills office. It's a straightforward outpatient procedure that can make a big difference, not just in how you look but in how you feel.
Otoplasty is a type of cosmetic ear surgery that reshapes or repositions the ears. Most people think of it as ear pinning, especially when it's used to bring protruding ears closer to the head. But it can also correct misshapen ears, fix uneven folds, or reduce the size of overly large ears. The goal is to create a more natural look that fits your face without drawing attention to your ears.
During the procedure, your Beverly Hills plastic surgeon will make a small incision behind the ear, where it's easily hidden. From there, they'll either reshape or remove some of the cartilage and secure the new position with sutures that stay in place permanently. This results in the ears sitting more naturally on the head and feeling like they've always belonged there.
For a lot of people in Beverly Hills otoplasty is about feeling more comfortable in their own skin. If you've been self-conscious about ears that stick out or don't match the rest of your features, this procedure can give you a real sense of relief.
One of the most common reasons women choose otoplasty is that they avoid wearing their hair up, like in a ponytail or bun, because their ears feel too prominent. Otoplasty can help ease that discomfort and bring everything into better balance, so your ears stop stealing the spotlight.
Kids, teens, and adults often feel a big boost in self-confidence after surgery. And because the results are long-lasting, you won't have to think about it again once healing is complete.
Benefits of Otoplasty:
With an otoplasty Beverly Hills patients have the option to address their ears that draw unwanted attention. It's often done during childhood, usually around age five or six, once the ears are fully grown. But many adults come in for this procedure as well, especially if it's something they've been thinking about for years.
The ideal candidate for an otoplasty is in good general health, doesn't smoke, and has realistic expectations about what ear surgery can do. Whether the concern is prominent ears, an uneven shape, or a congenital abnormality, otoplasty can help bring things back into balance.
You may be a good candidate if you:
Your consultation at Eos Rejuvenation is all about listening. Dr. Nima or Dr. Parsa will take the time to understand what's bothering you about your ears, go over your options, and walk you through what otoplasty can realistically achieve. You'll also get a chance to ask any questions, big or small, so you feel totally clear before moving forward.
If you decide to schedule the procedure, we'll give you a few simple steps to follow before surgery. This might include stopping certain medications, arranging a ride home, or picking up a headband to wear afterward. Our team makes sure you feel fully prepared—no surprises, just support.
Otoplasty is done right here in our Beverly Hills office, and it's usually an outpatient procedure, meaning you’ll go home the same day. Depending on your age and comfort level, we’ll use either local anesthesia to numb the area or general anesthesia so you’re completely asleep.
Once you're comfortable, a small incision is made behind each ear, hidden in the natural fold. The cartilage is then reshaped, sometimes trimmed, and stitched into a better position using permanent sutures. The goal is to create ears that look more natural and sit closer to the head, all while keeping scarring to a minimum. The whole thing typically takes about 2.5 to 3 hours.
Right after surgery, your ears will be bandaged to help them heal in their new position. You might feel some mild discomfort or tightness—that’s totally normal—and we’ll make sure you have the right pain medication if you need it. Most people take it easy for the first few days, then slowly ease back into daily activities.
Swelling and bruising usually go down within a couple of weeks. You’ll want to avoid sleeping on your side and follow instructions about wearing a soft headband at night, which helps protect your results. Most patients are back to work, school, or their regular routine in two to six weeks, depending on how things heal.
You’ll notice a difference as soon as the bandages come off. Your ears will sit closer to your head, look more balanced, and feel like they finally fit your face. There might be a little swelling at first, but once that fades (usually within a few weeks), you’ll see the full result.
The great thing about otoplasty is that the results are permanent. Once the ears heal into their new position, there’s no need for touch-ups or maintenance. As long as you take care during recovery, your new ear shape should last for life.
Taking care of your ears after surgery is simple, but important. You’ll be asked to wear a headband at night for a few weeks to keep your ears in place while they heal. It might feel a little snug at first, but it really helps protect your results.
Try to avoid any activities where your ears might get bumped or bent, especially during those early healing weeks. Stick to your follow-up appointments so we can check your progress, and let us know if anything feels off. With a little care and attention, your results will hold beautifully for the long haul.
