OTOPLASTY
Otoplasty in Coral Gables, Miami by Dr. Soler-Baillo
Refined Balance. Natural Contour. Confidence From Every Angle.
At Soler-Baillo Plastic Surgery, otoplasty (ear surgery) is a highly individualized procedure designed to reshape or reposition the ears for a more natural, balanced appearance. Whether you're seeking to correct prominent ears, asymmetry, or reshape the earlobe, Dr. Jose Soler-Baillo performs each otoplasty with surgical precision and an artist’s eye—ensuring results that blend harmoniously with your facial features.
What Is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, commonly referred to as ear pinning or ear reshaping surgery, corrects ears that stick out too far from the head, are asymmetrical, or have an unusual shape due to genetics or injury. While often performed during childhood, many adults also choose to have this surgery later in life to improve self-esteem and overall facial balance.
The procedure is performed using small, discreet incisions hidden behind the ear, with minimal visible scarring. Dr. Soler-Baillo uses refined techniques to adjust the cartilage and bring the ears into a natural, proportional position without an overcorrected or “pinned” appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Otoplasty
At what age can otoplasty be performed?
Otoplasty can be performed once the ears have fully developed—typically around age 5 to 6. Early correction can prevent teasing or self-esteem issues. Adults can undergo otoplasty at any age.
Where are the incisions placed?
Dr. Soler-Baillo places incisions behind the ear, hidden in the natural crease where the ear meets the head. Scarring is minimal and typically not visible.
Will my ears look “pinned back”?
No. Dr. Soler-Baillo focuses on creating natural-looking results that bring the ears into better alignment with the head without flattening or overcorrecting their position.
Is otoplasty painful?
Discomfort is generally mild and managed easily with prescribed medication. Most patients report tightness or slight tenderness in the first few days, with improvement each day after surgery.
What is the recovery like?
Patients typically return to school or work within 5–7 days. A soft headband is often worn for a few weeks, especially at night, to protect the new ear position. Final results are visible within a few weeks as swelling subsides.
