Ear Pinning in Chicago, IL
What Is Ear Pinning?
Your ears play a significant role in the symmetry and overall appearance of your face. People with ears that are large, misshapen, or that stick out too far might feel embarrassed or self-conscious, especially when they're younger. Otoplasty (ear reshaping) is a cosmetic procedure that helps to redefine the size, position, and shape of the ears to create a pleasing appearance. At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we've helped many men and women overcome their self-image problems through otoplasty. No matter the cosmetic issue, otoplasty at our Chicago, IL office allows an individual to show their face from any angle with confidence. If you or your child are concerned about the shape or size of the ears, contact us to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lawrence Iteld to find out about your options for ear recontouring surgery.
How Does Otoplasty Work?
Ear pinning is usually done with an incision made around the back portion of the ear or inside the inner folds. During your procedure, Dr. Iteld will remove excess skin and cartilage while reshaping the ears to make them symmetrical and less prominent. It's generally common for each ear to be addressed during treatment to make sure they look and appear even. After the procedure, the incisions are safely stitched together with sutures and bandaged so they stay safeguarded for healing. To maximize your comfort and make your recovery easier, we offer non-narcotic anesthetics at Iteld Plastic Surgery. After surgery, most patients are able to get by comfortably with over-the-counter pain solutions.
What Are the Benefits of Otoplasty?
If you're unhappy with the size or shape of your ears, a personalized ear pinning procedure at Iteld Plastic Surgery may be the solution you need to get your confidence back, offering benefits, such as:

- Reshapes ears that are asymmetrical or overly large

Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
The entire staff here was so amazing, I cannot recommend them enough! I had top surgery with Dr. Iteld and he, and the entire staff, were extremely welcoming, kind, and so supportive every step of the way. They are extremely affirming and take the time to make sure you have all your questions answered and feel comfortable. I had never had any surgery before and everyone at this location made me feel so at ease. And my results are AMAZING! I am so grateful to Dr. Iteld and his entire team for going above and beyond to help me through this process and for giving me a chest that I love! I truly cannot thank everyone enough for what they have given me.
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Iteld and I absolutely love my results. He and his team were so kind, professional, thorough, and informative. I was a little nervous of course about surgery, but they made me feel very comfortable and confident in my decision. Recovery with no narcotics was so easy. I was surprised at how good I felt after surgery. Everything healed up perfectly and I’m so happy I went with him. I’d highly recommend him!
I had top-surgery done by Dr. Iteld and could not be happier with the results! He is a rockstar. I had a double incision with free nipple grafts and everything has healed so well. Dr. Iteld and the professionals working with him were extremely helpful, supportive, and kind throughout this entire process. They are quick to respond to questions and concerns, and genuinely care about what you are looking to get out of their services. I felt listened to and cared for while in their hands. Could not recommend Dr. Iteld enough!
i had a great experience with Dr. Iteld and his office! Everyone was kind and helpful, my experience was smooth and as easy as i can imagine a surgery being! Thank you!
275cc, mods, overs, 35 y/o, 125lbs, 5'5, 2 kids, 32A - A long time coming, the goal being to look proportionate and go from an A to a small C at the most. It’s more so about the look than the final cup size though! I have forever desired boobs, since I was a teenager! Just never happened for me. Dr. Iteld’s team was great and patient with me. I was eternally toying between 250, 275, 295 cc (with the understanding that what they put into your bod is roughly 25 cc more than the sizer you select). Ended up with a 275 cc implant, moderate profile, Allergan brand gel. The recovery has been crazy smooth. I feel great, out walking around but being very careful. I went out to dinner the night after the surgery, guys! Just be smart. Don’t overdo it. No one wants to end up back in the OR. CANNOT wait to see how these drop and look long term!Updated on 4 Mar 2024:Crazy to already notice a difference from day 1 to day 4 post op! I think these will be EXACTLY what I was looking for once they settle. Wish I could hit fast forward for a month. Still no pain. If anything this dang bra is the itchy and annoying part. Just by the straps due to the fabric weaving. I’m being VERY careful with my 2 and 4 year old. Definitely a challenge so make sure you have help constantly. Just remember it’s temporary!Updated on 7 Mar 2024:Day 7! My check-up is tomorrow! My left boob is a bit more swollen than the right, you can tell even the nipple is still puffy and a hair larger, while the right is responsive to the cold in this photo and not swollen. Super normal, not worried about it. You can see from the side photo that the “upper pole” of the breast looks a little less poofy as well as on the sides. Slow n steady!I can’t feel my nipples and the immediate area around, but each day I slowly get more feeling. Apparently this can take a few weeks. Overall still very happy with them and the healing process. Zero pain! Ready to get rid of this granny bra!
