Ear pinning surgery, also called an otoplasty, is a surgery that can change the size, shape, and projection of the ears. This type of ear surgery is very common among older children who have protruding ears, or ears that just stick out too far. Prominent ears can take a toll on anyone’s self-esteem, especially a child. That’s why board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Daneshmand offers otoplasty surgery at his Bakersfield clinic.
