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:
- Readjusts ears that push out to sit more evenly against the head
- Reshapes ears that are asymmetrical or overly large
- Focuses on a broad variety of ear problems
- Addresses congenital ear malformation
- Treats damage from a traumatic injury
- Results are subtle and natural-looking

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.
A way less stressful experience than I could've imagined - I couldn't recommend Dr. Iteld more after my experience. After hours of research online from other people going through top surgery, I was very worried about the pain and recovery process. To my surprise, it was nearly painless and a way less stressful experience than I could've imagined thanks to his methods. I'm a very anxious person, but him and his team always made me feel at ease and I had every opportunity for easy communication to answer any of my questions or concerns, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you again!
Kimmy has been amazing at Dr. Iteld's office. she genuinely cares about her patients and never pushes products or procedures. I have never had someone be so helpful in answering my questions and pointing me in the right direction. She is so kind and great at what she does. Could not recommend her enough! All of Dr. Iteld's staff are so friendly!
Dr. Iteld and his staff are very passionate about their job. I received amazing results and care. I will definitely return for any further service.
I’ve been going to Dr. Iteld’s office for skin treatments for the past few years and would not go anywhere else in Chicago! Entire staff is fantastic. Kimmy is absolutely amazing to work with and I trust her completely with my skin. She’s extremely thorough and patient and truly cares about making sure her patients are relaxed and comfortable during treatments. I always look forward to appointments with her!!
