Surgery for Men Before & After Case 861

This 32-year-old man from Ormond Beach, FL, was unhappy with his protruding ears. Dr. Gross performed a bilateral otoplasty/ear pinning to bring his ears closer to his head. The patient's results look very natural, and he's super pleased with the outcome. We use dissolving sutures behind the ears for quicker recovery and invisible scar lines. The outpatient procedure was performed at our Lake Mary/Orlando, FL surgery center.

Other terms used to describe protruding ears include: sugar bowl, wing nuts, pokey ears, elf ears.
