The ear pinning procedure in Turkey is performed as an outpatient surgery by our accredited plastic surgeons, who can choose to use general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation. The procedure takes one to two hours. The technique of the ear pinning procedure in Turkey involves a small incision made at the back of the ear, which provides access to the ear cartilage. Your regular plastic surgeon will sculpt and fold the cartilage towards the head.
