Non-Surgical Ear Pinning

A non-surgical ear pinning procedure is often obtained to correct protruding ears or to restore facial symmetry. If you are considering this procedure and wish to learn more about it, please read the information provided by Dr Lanzer and his associates below.

What Is Non-Surgical Ear Pinning?

Non-surgical ear pinning is an ear pinning procedure that does not require incisions. Instead of removing skin and cartilage to correct protruding ears, the cosmetic surgery will place permanent sutures in the ears and force the cartilage to adopt a new position.

Ear surgery or ear correction can be quite the complex procedure. Surgical otoplasty procedures can also be accompanied by a longer recovery process, which is another reason why most people look for a non-surgical ear pinning procedure instead.

How Much Is Non-Surgical Ear Pinning?

The cost of most cosmetic surgery is variable, as the scope of the procedure and the experience of the cosmetic surgery must be considered.

The non-surgical ear pinning procedure is available throughout Australia, including in Dr Lanzer’s clinic. For example, if you are a resident of Melbourne, you can visit your nearest Dr Lanzer clinic to learn more about this procedure.

Does Non-Surgical Ear Pinning Hurt?

The procedure is not painful, as it can be done under a local anaesthetic or a general anaesthetic. Since there are no incisions made during the treatment, local anaesthetic is most common for these kinds of procedures. Of course, there can be some rare exceptions where a general anaesthetic is used. For example, in patients who are extremely anxious for the procedure.

Patients can experience a little bit of discomfort after their procedure, which is comparable to the normal discomfort one would get after having sutures. Most patients can manage discomfort easily with some over-the-counter pain medication. In some cases, the cosmetic surgery can prescribe additional medications to manage possible side-effects.

Please keep in mind that patients must follow the recovery instructions provided by the Dr Lanzer Clinic as well. This may involve wearing a protective headband during your recovery. A protective headband can protect the treatment area against infection, but also helps the ears conform to their new position.

Does Non-Surgical Ear Pinning Work?

The non-surgical otoplasty works, albeit a little different than the surgical procedure. During a surgical correction, the cosmetic surgery can remove cartilage and skin to influence the overall look of the ear as well as its size. During a non-surgical procedure, the ear is placed closer to the side of the head by strategic sutures. So, while the size of the ear remains unaffected, the position of the ear is altered.

To ensure non-surgical otoplasty is the right solution for your problem, it is essential to speak to your cosmetic surgery about your expectations. Be sure to talk about the specific things that bother you about your ears, so your surgeon can determine if that problems can be tackled with the non-surgical otoplasty or not.

The Dr Lanzer Clinic always recommends getting a second opinion before getting any cosmetic surgery, this includes a non-surgical otoplasty. By getting a second opinion, you always make sure you are fully informed before going ahead with a treatment and minimize the chance of unwanted surprises.
