Ear Pinning
Otoplasty or ear pinning repositions or reshapes the ears in cases where they are either malformed or protrude undesirably. Houston plastic surgeon Kristy L. Hamilton, MD will assess your ears during a consultation and determine the optimal strategy for improving their structure and/or position. The precise technique used will depend on your specific situation, but the emphasis is always on creating a more balanced and harmonious aesthetic.
Earlobe Reduction
Earlobe reduction is designed to create a smaller, more proportionate earlobe appearance for those who have stretched, drooping, or overly large earlobes. These concerns can develop for a variety of reasons, including genetics, a loss of elasticity due to aging, and even wearing certain types of ear jewelry, such as heavy earrings or “stretchers.” Earlobe reduction with Dr. Hamilton has the added benefit of being minimally-invasive, and it typically requires little to no downtime.
